It costs a lot of money if you order all the modules, but the best
program to help you improve is Chess Mentor. It is not a playing program
though. If you want practice with  tactics and almost every other
feature you would want, get Fritz 5. you will love it.  A program like
Rebel 9 is a little too advanced for you, but it is a great buy if you
get the Rebel 9 Light version. CM5500 has some teaching features but if
you get Chess Mentor you won't need CM5500's instructional  features.
The choice of programs also depends on whether you are playing
tournament chess or not.  I would recommend going to the following site
