BitStrips

BitStrips is a an app where you can make comics of your life and post it on Facebook. It is the definition of a fad.

While I did download it to my Droid X and got to make an avatar I never got past that point. The app is so large it does not allow me to make comics and sticks on the "make your own" screen.

Sounds fun but not made for older phones so thumbs down.

McAfee Net Guard

McAfee Net Guard

For a week every time I got on the internet everything was slow. Gmail would get stuck, could not download anything, Youtube videos would not play beyond 14 seconds, and most sites needed to be constantly refreshed to work. At the beginning of last week everything updated. Windows, Adobe, and McAfee all updated on the same day.

It took a while to figure what messed up but thanks to some Youtube research it was narrowed down to firewall issues. I checked McAfee and turn several things on and off until the internet worked again. The culprit was Net Guard.

Net Guard is a feature that automatically avoids risky connections. The problem is that it labels everything as "risky". There is a way to edit the untrusted connection but they had names like http:122.1090.019 and server.theuun.ooap/aihoia/%20pabuua.thh.555. All this is gibberish to me and I have no time to go one by one and change each setting. Add to that I visit 20 to 100 sites a day, most just once, so I found this feature a major annoyance.

Solution
Turned it off.
Maybe later if I have time I will turn it on and "trust" each site I visit but that seems like a hassle for now.

Here's why this is a 10% program...
Pros

1. Worked great until the last update.

Cons

1. It's a beast. It will block everything and cripple all your browsers.

Got it at:
McAfee for about $90 for the full package.

The only app I ever uninstalled. 

It worked great the first day but now it makes a horrible sound on my Droid X and online research has  shown it can destroy your camera.

What a shame. It had some great effects and worked very smooth.

No originals images of this since once it started making that clicking noise that would not stop until I turned off the phone I just got rid of it.

Pros

1. Works great when working

Cons

1. Does not work
