holdemmanager...less buggy than PT3 and helps you in cash games mostly to see how tight/loose ur opponents are, how aggro/passive they are, keeps track of ur wins/losses, etc.  Really neat programs.

 hey yesterday when i started by hold em manager my anti-virus program (bit defender) said there was a blackdoor trojan somehow attached to it and that it had deleted it. anyone know what the deal with this is? i love hold em manager but now i can't even open it, not to mention i'm slightly bugged out on why it said that. anyway i was just about to post it, but i figured i'd ask here first.

thanks

There have been loads of threads on this on various forums. It is a false positive and they have released a new patch to fix it:

As for the OP. I prefer HEM but havent used PT for about 5 months so difficult for me to give an up to date comparison. Both are excellent products and both have free trials available. Best thing you can do is test them for yourself and see which you prefer, which runs best with your pc's specs etc.

 yeah i figured it was something of the sort... i've used both products a ton and personally prefer HEM over PT3 by a pretty good bit as long as it's working right.

Does false positive mean you can hit ignor and not have a problem.  There is no actual virus.
