"Great desktop app"
Version: Desktop Sidebar 1.05 build 116
Pros
Gives easy access to many types of data such as email, rss, weather and keeps it out of the way but available on a mouse move. I have used it for many years.
Cons
The developers have not released an update since July 2006 and parts of the app are now failing to work with Win7 and IE9. I had to turn off DEP to keep it running, but freeze ups still happen.
Summary
Good app but be prepared to tinker with no help from app developers.

"Excellent!"
Version: Desktop Sidebar 1.05 build 116
Pros
Easy to set up. Very customizable. I've been using this sidebar for many years and it's never let me down. No problems with anti-virus detecting it as anything malicious.
Cons
sometimes I have been unsuccessful transferring settings from one machine to another.
Summary
would recommend to keep your desktop nice and tidy ;)

"Loved it - but AVG 2010 reports a Trojan"
Version: Desktop Sidebar 1.05 build 116
Pros
Worked great- does all sorts of nice things, but what's with this Trojan?
Is this a "false positive" and if so, then why?Cons
Trojan Horse Downloader.Generic10.APFU
Summary
Too scared to use it until Trojan is resolved.
