Product:

Trillian

Version: 3.1.9.0

Great Program, Careful or You'll get Spyware with it!!

Pros: easy to use multi-system chat.

Cons: Be very careful, it will prompt you to download the ask.com toolbar spyware. See Ben Edelman's research if curious how this program qualifies as spyware, but suffice it to say UNCHECK THAT BOX or you'll be barraged by pop-up boxes and have your surfing info transmitted back to Ask.

Product:

Webroot Spy Sweeper

Version: 4.0

Deceptive advertising - NOT FREE

Cons: This purports itself to be a free trial. It is not. Do not bother downloading, installing, and scanning unless you plan to purchase this product, it will be a waste of time. It will refuse to remove found spyware unless you pay right then and there.

Free, but fuzzy graphics . . .

Product:

Easy DVD Rip

Version: 3.0.5

Keeps popping up windows to demand you purchase . .

Cons: It would only let you rip ten minutes on the trial - I couldn't stand the pop-ups long enough to see how even that worked.
