Was unable to give a review on the day this ran, so doing it now…

First of all I LOVE Insofta’s Cover Commander, but wanted to check this one out too.

BOTH of these programs are much alike yes, but different enough so that I will be keeping this one two.

While Cover Commander has more features, gives you more control, and runs better, this one is a keeper strictly for the ways it differs.

What I like mainly about this is the CD case template that has the cover open and shows a bit of the CD.

On the downside, it creates a bunch of temp image files that you need to clean up later, and on my machine it really pegs the processor so much in fact that it slows down to a crawl.

It’s a bit of a pain to download the extra templates. I feel those should already be included.

Would like to see the performance issue fixed, and also the temp image file issue needs to be fixed.

For me in no way is this a replacement for the [IMO] better Cover Commander, but it’s a keeper simply for the little differences.

Installation on vista 32 HP went fine, however, program crashes upon opening. Appcrash StackHash_083 no matter what kind of compatibility or DEP is selected. Uninstalled-reinstalled several times. Works fine on XP system.

Easy installation on Win 7(be prepared to let it thru your firewall if you want to activate it).

Seems to be easy enough to use and a very nice tool for a non artist like myself. Used on of their templates and my art and had a nice cover in a matter of minutes. Peeled the image off my screen and pasted it on a box. Took a picture of it and now I’m all set.

I give it a thumbs up

Oh, nevermind. I didn’t understand that it wasn’t for printing real covers. I thought it was for designing actual covers, not just pictures of covers. LOL

You have to use some graphics software to add text? Seems like a pita to me. Who wants to use an external graphics program to add text, or even edit? I was looking for a program that is easy to add text to list what’s on the CD/DVD. This sure isn’t it. Looks like it’s just a picture template type of thing, with no ability to add text! (0_o) If I have to use an external program to add anything to it, why wouldn’t I just bypass this app and use the other program instead? Seems kind of strange.

When I installed today’s giveaway, it triggered a Kaspersky alert.

Invader

This category of malicious program injects its code into the user’s address space and then passes the execution flow to the code. This gives it all the same access rights as the user. There are four main subdivisions in the “Invader” category, all of which are detected by the Proactive Defense Module.

Strangely, VirusTotal shows no alerts at all, not even by Kaspersky. My Kaspersky is 2009 version so I don’t know why the discrepancy.

Jay, Heur likely refers to heuristic, meaning a method which attempts to monitor suspicious behavior to protect from threats that have not yet been identified. Heuristics are where you’re more likely to get false hits. As a general procedure, I’d search for the description on any hit I got, especially on the Comodo site (I don’t use Comodo so I don’t know whether they have threats listed). If you don’t get a hard hit explaining the specific threat, that’s another clue that it could be a false hit. Or at least it might describe what suspicious behavior it’s hitting on. Then you can make a more intelligent decision. I’d say you likely got a false hit.
