There's nothing wrong with Wasbit here, he did an initial good
service. But it needs to be reviewed. I know from personal
experience that some, for example, SUMo cause malware. Others produce
BSOD. Again nothing ought with Wasbit, just ought with half assed
software. It's a nice opportunity for someone to test bench them.

I didn't think wasbit rates apps, just lists as many as possible. That's
his USP. Useful if the usual suspects haven't rocked your boat.
Otherwise, a bit of a trawl.
