In the March edition of PC Computing there is an article by Woody Leonhard entitled "Woody's Window's Clinic" and reviews essential utilities - here are the results:

Uninstallers - Cleansweep Deluxe 3.0

Virus detection - Norton AV 4.0 (no mentions of Qdek product)

Crashproof - RealHelp Extra Strength- Good write up with Woody panning both Nuts and Bolts and NU Crashguard ("Crashguard fared worse, it didn't even acknowledge the (Excel Macro) GPF-there was no sign of life whatsoever; the screen froze". I have NU3 with crashguard installed and would echo Woody's comments. I still get lock ups with no sign of crashguard.

System Conflicts - Touchstone CheckIt 5.0

Hard Drive Maintenance - NU 3.0 with Real Help getting a good also ran mention.

File Compression - WinZip 6.3 with ZipIt 4.0 getting a mention
