Here is a list of programs I recommend, I am running most of these programs right now, on one or another, if not all my PC’s.
AVG among the best ‘free’ anti virus software out there. I have been using this for years and I have never had a serious virus problem. Ever..
Really cute computer cleaner, hacks out all the dead wood and leaves your system clean and as it says on the box.. crap free! A must have..
SpyWareBlaster run in conjunction with AVG it makes for an even water tight system, it doesn’t remove problems, it helps you dodge getting them in the first place.
If you are not already using FireFox browser then start right now! The extensions directory is massive and updated daily, simply the best browser out there.
As it says “reclaim your inbox” highly configurable, easy to use, back up, transfer to other computers, a very cute and impressive competitor to OE, in fact it walks all over OE.
WordWeb is a one-click English thesaurus and dictionary for Windows that can look up words from in almost any program. It works off-line, but can also look up words in web references such as the Wikipedia encyclopedia.
In the “FireWall Challenge” run by security and research group Matousec the Comodo FREE firewall scored 100%. Incredibly beating every commercial firewall out there. I’ll put up a full page of links and stats about this shortly, meanwhile if you are using anything else (Windows Live OneCare scored a pitiful 5%) you really should give this one a run out. Again what have you got to lose, it is free after all.
