Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This full-fledged offline browser not only copies individual Web pages and online photo albums, it also downloads and lets you view entire sites offline. Its customizable interface lets you easily cope with numerous downloads. With the built-in browser, you can view retrieved sites or search for new targets directly from the program. The program also lets you create e-books in the CHM format that are very easy to share. Offline Explorer Pro provides everything you need for easy downloading: proxy-server support, scheduling, smart connection control (number of simultaneous connections, bandwidth limitations), and an internal dial-up that disconnects when it's finished, or resumes broken connections.
Various filters cut unnecessary content, letting you skip or include files based on type, size, URL, server, domain, or directory. You can opt to retrieve updated files only, disable downloading or directories from a convenient site map, or simply drag missing pages from your browser. Offline Explorer Pro has most of the features we expect from a perfect offline browser, especially for dial-up users.

Version: Offline Explorer Pro 4.4
"A cut above the rest due to tight integration with browsers."
Pros: RoboForm v6.7.3 is the best password manager I've used. I've tried several others, among them Aurora, Password Manager XP, and several more.
What I like about RoboForm is that you don't have to go clicking to find your password and then manually copy-paste it into the correct field. Once you store an identity (which by the way is completely automatic), you simply go to the web site, and once the page loads and the username and password fields are waiting there for you, RoboForm will automatically pop up and give you your options: Fill in the username/password, Fill it in and also automatically press OK, etc etc. You have control over what it does at all times, and it will warn you if it filled in sensitive information like credit card numbers you you can decide if you want to SUBMIT it after all.
I love this program and if I had my way I would never use another password manager again.
Cons: I don't like ANY program that installs a resident program with a tray icon.
I think that certain programs might benefit from this type of feature, but RoboForm is not one of them. It might be different in Internet Explorer, but I use Firefox exclusively, and the extension for Firefox does not require the tray icon at all, so why have it? I promptly removed it from my system startup, and now it's great.
It's also somewhat annoying when it pops up at the wrong times, such as when a security form like when you enter in the letters that correspond to graphical letters on the screen (robot blocker type stuff), or other times when there is a form field of some kind on the screen and you don't want anything automatically filled. A simple CANCEL gets rid of the RoboForm window, though. It's really not a big deal.
Another reviewed mentioned a security exploit where ANY user could delete your passwords even if they couldn't actually use them or see them without your master password. Hopefully they fix this in the future, if they haven't already.

Version: Offline Explorer Pro 4.4
Pros: I never thought I'd like it. But I did. I just wanted to know what it was like - but I really have no true use for it, so buying it is not for me. But it was a different experience.
