PCWorld's reviewers felt the lure of file management utilities, PIMs, and spam blockers. One-trick ponies with one really slick trick--checking Gmail, converting files, or alerting us to Google's ever-vigilant eye--also impressed us. As always, we'd love to see your take on these programs in their User Reviews.
