| There
are many Free Tools out there on the net that we like,
and by the time you've finished
this page you will realise We Like Free!!!
Spy/Ad-ware
Removal Tools
It may surprise you to
know that the latest toolbar you downloaded might actually
be a piece of spy ware. In fact many of the “tools” which pop up on your screen a either Ad-ware, Mal-ware Spy-ware. Tools to monitor
the time, manage your calendar, help you search the
net more effectively, etc. etc. etc. forget them. They
are a load of junk! We don't like them!
We like Ad-Aware Personal
Edition SE and Spybot SD both are available from www.download.com.
Ad-Aware has
a nice user interface and gives a decent amount of
information about the potential risk and can even quarantine
the files should you wish to put them back.
Spybot
SD - (Search and Destroy) is for more advanced users. The level of assistance and
roll back isn't there. Some times it good to use
them in combination, “if the 1st one don't get ya, the 2nd one will!!”
Anti-virus & Internet
Security
An ounce of prevention
is better than a pound of cure! It's cheaper too! So
GET PROTECTION! No not birth control, Anti-virus protection!
We don't like viruses, but we do like good anti-virus
protection.
There are two good free
products for the home and none profit user AVG from www.grisoft.com and AVAST from http://www.avast.com.
Of course you can always
buy paid for versions from the two vendors above or McAfee - www.mcafee.com and Norton Anti-virus from www.symantec.com.
KEEP UP TO DATE!!! As
good as a product may be, none of them will protect
you if you don't download the updates regularly!!!
Free
Firewall
We Like ZONE
ALARM - Once you get used to it, or more precisely once it gets used to you and your
web applications, you're safe!
Get it from www.zonelabs.com
Sites
www.analogx.com is
a great site for finding neat networking tools.
Try netstat for monitoring the speed of your internet connection.
What time is
it??
Now if you
really want to know the right time, Atomic TimeSync is
a great free tool that will give you the time from the
atomic clock from a choice of time servers around the
world and allow you synchronise your system clock. No
more “island time" .
Do you Yahoo?
We do and we like Yahoo. Forget
the stingy 2MB Hotmail box and set yourself up with 100MB of e-mail
storage. Yahoo has plenty of useful features and we like it.
Go to www.yahoo.com
