Electronic Circuit Simulation program suggestion

Hey all,

I'd like some suggestions on a decent Electronic Simulation software program, preferable downloadable trial version to test it out first before making a purchasing. I've tried Smartdraw and TINA, but the restrictions on these trial versions are very limiting. I do understand that this is the purpose of the Trial version, however, not being able to save any created circuits in TINA is becoming a pain, and Smartdraw was not great on the Simulation side.
These are the basics I'd like to see.
-Decent Analog and Digital components Library
-Virtual Test Measurement tools (Multimeter,scope...etc)
-Programable AC and DC power sources

Thanks..

I'd recommend

MULTISIM
TOPSPICE
LTSPICE

Google for them. Asking for Virtual test instruments really constrains your options. There are only a few that have this feature and in my opinion they are inferior simulators otherwise.
Cheers,
