Feedback is Important

We can all benefit from our collective experiences. Your feedback is valuable to us in that it expands our services to you. Feedback can also provide information to everyone that can keep us from making the same mistakes. Thanks for your input. Jim

 

Due to the large volume of virus problems, I have added a separate page for Virus Information.

 


 

Free stuff:

Anti-Virus and Security

AVG Anti-virus **(Anti-virus by Grisoft)

Clam Win **(Licensed by the Free Software Foundation)

 Zone Alarm **(A firewall by Zone Labs)

 Ad-aware **(anti-adware - gets rid of those pesky ads from nowhere)

SpyBot Search & Destroy **
(A tool to detect and remove spyware)

On-line Virus removal**
Trend Micro's (makers of PC-cillin) free on-line virus scanner

Stinger Stand-alone virus removal tool **
Free from McAfee... (Just download, save and run from your computer)

Symantec virus removal tools **
(Free from the makers of Norton Anti-virus. These specifically target those hard to remove bad bugs)

 

Utilities (Useful and for fun)

 Use OpenOffice.org ** Open Office similar to Microsoft Office© (some consider better)

NVU **Web site development tool (Think Frontpage but better)

Winzip **Opens or creates those compressed files

Trillian **(Multi IM/Chat interface supports Yahoo, MSN, and AOL in the same window)
