Winamp’s ability to easily dock on the top of the screen, and a rich set of hotkeys, makes it a great audio player still.
I formatted my drive with all my music, I never thought there was a program that could recover it all. I installed this, and it even got back things from a previous format. I highly recommend this software.
I think it is a very good piece of software. Until you have finished all your first time backups it can be a pain in the bum, as it is quite slow and sluggish, my first time PC backup took about 5 hours, so make sure you have quite a bit of time on your hands. I at first had problems backing up to a network drive, kept giving me messages such as “backup destination not available” etc. It might take a while to get to like and get used to Norton Ghost.
Main downside: The amount of error popups and interuptions..
Main upside: It gives you a good variety of backup options such as AES encryption and incremential backup points.
Overall 4/5
You can purchase this version for $19 for 3 PC licenses with an 18 month subscription included (?).
Thanks for the excellent review.
Additional thought: I had to disable the newly released “Microsoft Security Essentials” since it was hogging the CPU while SM9 was working. Most probably due to the disk and file activities that SM9 was performing.
You have omitted to say how much improvement there was (or not), in the areas the program worked on. Your ‘review’ just covers how to install & run it. Would you care to elaborate?
That sounds very expensive. I think I stick to my WMCapture which was $40 for life and produces superb results.
You may try Nemo PDF To Word to test whether it helps or not. Any way I’m using it. The characters in the PDF are likely Unicode characters given particular places on the page. Since you want to copy the PDF content to Word, I think this Nemo converter may help, as it retains all the features of the original file, including mathematical symbols. Try to see is it true or not.

I have been using Second copy for more years that I can remember.
I actually feel that the “negative – Need to create multiple profiles to backup same files to multiple locations ” is actually a strong positive.
I Use, clone, and synchronize, Manual and automatic capabilities.
I have NEVER found a better product – and believe me _ try and buy them all (at least once).
I am NOT employed by any of them.
My opinions are based on decades of experience in data storage management.
My only “continuing” request to the vendors is their logging.
I wish they would create TWO logs instead of providing a summary or detail.
I used to create the detail but have now switched to summary.
99% of the time the summary is fine but on occassion the summary says 10 files were copied and I had expected -0- so I do not know which files were copied (or deleted) on a clone
I use the “auto” backup for my email system (eudora) every hour.
I use Manual for on demand “backup”. Usually the last thing I do at end of day.
I have a couple of folders that I sync manually when I have made changes I want reflected on my Laptop.
My configuration consists of XP-Laptop, Vista Desktop(Main) and XP-desktop(older backup)
I also use the free MOZY backup for my “really” critical folders.
There have been many occasions when Second copy has “saved my life”
I also use the clone function after I have run Spaceman to remove dups. The size of dups is amazing, sometimes in the GB range, A simple clone operation reduces the storage on the other two machines.
I rarely post reviews of products, but this (and spaceman) are two that I really feel strong and positive about.
rebit will NOT work in 64bit format!
I work in a big-box office supply store, so I usually try all the software I can. I pay particular attention to antivirus/antispyware because it’s so popular. I tried NAV2010 and am greatly disappointed. After install and restart, I opened a largish PDF file (~3mb). It took 12 seconds to open. I uninstalled NAV; it took three seconds to open after restart. Just for kicks I installed Microsoft’s new Security Essentials. Again, after restarting, my PDF file opened in about three seconds. Windows 7 64-bit, 8 gb RAM.
i tried the 90 day tried a few years ago. after the first week i purchased this. i even had 6 months left on kaspersky internet security. eset is how a security suite should run. the only time i even know its running is the brief notification. eset is highly customizable, more so than others. the firewall set at interactive filtering actually remembers settings and non intrusive after the initial set up. also included are system inspector ans system rescue. i recommend eset to everyone, once you’ve tried it you’ll never use anything else.
garbage highly intrusive, updates failed continuously leaving a huge red X in the taskbar. now way to stop the system from running. it only supported internet explorer. took forever to install, scan, run its so-called maintenance, etc. extremely over priced
one of the best scanners. works in safe mode, updates and run smooth and with little resource usage. recommended for every computer
excellent, i watch what i select on install to keep it as unobtrusive as possible. i like to put things whee i want them in my system. excellent playback and radio selection. i agree with thegeek about the docking. i’ve put it in my start menu, look great on the desktop as well as having an actual function
Have been using BD forever, before it was “discovered” here in the US. It has stopped every infection. Never had a problem with any of my pcs over all these years. Have installed it on hundreds of pcs and notebooks and none of those folks have had problems. My father had N installed on his pc. Constant problems all the time and he was unhappy with his pc. Removed N, installed BD. End of problems. Even he is recommending it.
Have I had “problems”? Yes, but BD solved them. I know there are some free apps out there and 2-3 good ones. I am a big fan of BD and wouldn’t change unless there was a compelling reason. Haven’t seen one.
I’ve been using BitDefender 2010 since it appeared in august and it was indeed a very pleasant surprise!! It’s easy to use, very effective and stable on a w 7 computer. I like the game mode setting that I use very much and the home network! I definitely recommend it.
I make regular use of portable apps. It’ a great tool to make available every software you use
anywhere.
Continued never ending viruses and trojans are in the best interest of these 3rd party virus “protection” FOR MONEY software developers… can you connect the dots?
I’ve used the FREE version of AVG for over 10 years and never had a viral or trojan problem. Now and it’s about time MicroSuck has introduced their free version Microsoft Security Essentials which has done the job… so far.
There is absolutely no reason why MS has not protected THEIR OWN product from the get go… other than making money which they have done in the past. If it where not for Mac beating MS of the head with the TV adds, MS would still be selling their own protection software… thanks Apple!
The bottom line if people can make money on “virus protection” software… THERE WILL ALWAYS BE VIRUSES! So go pay Norton and help support the money train.
Norton is terrible for the blind. The program is written in such a way the standard screen readers cannot read the links, text or buttons. Avoid if you are blind.
