My preference is the trusty PC Tools 8.  This thing is packed with many
indispensible utilities, without any need of the Windoze overhead. 
However after Centrol Point Software had been bought by Symantec, Pc Tools
9 is the last of this excellent package, without ever reaching a complete
10.  And the rest is history for CPS.  The only giant remains in the
utility business is the overpriced Norton products. :(
