Best Free Anti-Virus Software Updated
I normally recommend the Norton Anti-virus suite but I'm fully aware that some
folks simply can't afford to buy it. If you fall into this category then you should
check out AVG Antivirus 6.0 Free Edition. This product has been continuously
refined since it was first released in 1991 and now offers very impressive

protection capabilities. Additionally, it's relatively small, light on resources, has
regular automatic updates and handles email scanning. There is a free and a pro
version, the only difference being that the free version has a few non-critical
features disabled and has no technical support. Even so, it's an impressive package
and a offers the financially challenged a real alternative to the major anti-virus
suites. NOTE: AVG are currently upgrading all users to the more advanced version
7 engine. This will include users of the free version of V6 (5MB)




Best Free Adware/Spyware/Scumware Remover Updated
Spybot Search and Destroy quickly hunts down all those odious applications that
are secretly bundled in with many "advertiser-supported" utilities. It also provides
active protection against the current plague of browser hijackers, auto-dialers and
other surreptitiously downloaded scumware products. My second choice in this
category is Ad-aware SE. It's free too and has a simpler user interface though the
free version lacks the active protection offered by Spybot. I use both Spybot and
Ad-aware as they tend to find slightly different things. I recommend that you use
both as well.

Best Free Malware Prevention New
These days all users face a real risk of malicious programs secretly installing
themselves on your computer. Anti-virus and anti-spyware products help reduce
the chance of infection but you can really enhance your protection by installing

WinPatrol, which provides a vital "last ditch" defense layer by telling you when a
product is trying to change any of the critical settings on your PC such as the
registry and auto-start areas. WinPatrol simply throws up a dialog asking whether
you want to allow the change or not. It's simple but highly effective. The only
downside is the messages can confuse some inexperienced users. That reservation
aside, this is a product that should be on every PC. (785KB)




Best Free Browser New
Internet Explorer is a great browser but it has become such a target for malicious
exploit that it now has become a security risk. There are several excellent
alternatives but my top pick goes to Mozilla FireFox. It's faster and leaner than
Internet Explorer and since the release of version 1PR, it's stable and reliable. It
loads a little slower than IE but once running, it zips along at lightning speed. With
tabbed browsing and more free extensions than you could ever want, it offers a
major upgrade in your browsing experience. Unlike IE, it's also standards
compliant. FireFox is now my everyday browser though occasionally I have to fire
up IE to browse a site designed around IE's non standard features. (4.7MB)






Best Free Browser Accelerator
There are dozens of products that claim to speed up your surfing
but most have little effect. NaviScope is different - it actually works! Not only does
it speed up your surfing it also offers optional ad, pop-up, cookie and JavaScript

blocking, an extensive set of diagnostic tools and more bells and whistles than you
can imagine. My only beef is that the tool bar is very
obtrusive so once you set up NaviScope, you should select the option to turn off
the toolbar. If you need it, you can always bring it up again though the taskbar
icon. (614KB)




Best Free File Manager Updated
Windows Explorer is fine for simple file management activities but when you have
some serious work to do, you need a two pane file manager. I use Directory Opus
which is excellent but costs $59. Recently I discovered xplorer². It offers most of
the functionality of Directory Opus and is totally free. As a bonus, its user interface
is very similar to Windows Explorer, so most users will find this tool easy to learn
and use.(575KB)




Best Free Anonymous Surfing Service
There are lots of reasons folks have for wanting to surf anonymously, ranging from
simple paranoia to possibly being murdered by a malevolent foreign government.
Whatever the reasons, commercial services that offer anonymity are doing real
well. However one of the best services, JAP, is totally free and its level of secrecy
is better than many commercial systems. However expect your surfing to slow
down as you'll be relayed through a chain of servers. You'll also need to change
your browser settings to work through a proxy.

Best Free Software Suite
GNUWin II is a free software compilation for Windows. This huge suite features
dozens of programs including free alternatives to many expensive commercial
products. There is Abi Word as an alternative for MS Word, OpenOffice for MS
Office XP, The Gimp for Adobe Ph*tosh*p, Gzip for WinZIP are dozens more.
Taken collectively this suite provides more than enough software to completely set
up a PC without spending a cent on applications or utilities. The suite is available
or CD or you download the CD image and cut your own.




Best Free Notepad Replacement
There are lots of text editors and Notepad replacements. Some of these aspire to be
programming editors while others try to be word processors. What I love about
EditPad is that, unlike the others, it concentrates on simply being a better plain text
editor and it succeeds brilliantly. It has a Notepad like interface combined with
tabbed document windows and the ability to open as many documents as you like
with no file size limitations. I use it every day for tasks as diverse as writing
Support Alert Newsletter to examining my web log files. Some of the latter can be
up to 100MB, yet EditPad handles these huge files with ease. (849KB).




Best Free Hotkey Utility
Hotkeycontrol XP is a free utility that allows you to define your own hotkeys so
that a single key press can launch an application, insert commonly used text,

change your volume, or just about anything else. Hotkeycontrol works with all
versions of Windows from 98 onwards, though some features will only work with
Win2K or XP. (0.91KB)




Best Free Registry Cleaner
To keep the registries on my PCs in top running order I use Fix-It utilities This is a
commercial product but I must admit that Toni Helenius' Easy Cleaner performs
almost as well and is totally free. As a bonus, it will also detect duplicate files and
help you clean up temp files to make more disk space. Remember though, as with
every Registry cleaner, to back up your Windows Registry before use. (2.64MB)




The Best Bookmark Cleaner
AM-DeadLink scans your bookmark file for dead links or duplicate links. When I
tried it on my huge favorites file I discovered 17% of my links were dead. I've now
got a much leaner set of favorites and the comfort of knowing that the links
actually work. (546KB)




Best Free Route Tracer
3D Traceroute graphically displays Internet route information. You can use it for
technical tasks such as diagnosing slow connections or for general purpose
snooping like determining the location and owner of a web site or tracing

spammers. (996KB)



The Best Free Screen Capture Utility
I've used over half a dozen screen-capture utilities and none of them has really
satisfied. Until now. Gadwin screen capture does exactly what I want in the way I
want. Further, it avoids the trap of providing lots of useless and confusing features.
It's the little things that count like making the hot key PrtSc so I don't have to
remember it, and automatically sequentially naming the output files for multiple
screen shots. Gadwin will stay on my PC permanently. (976KB)




The Best Free Search Bar Updated
Dave’s Quick Search Bar is a free utility that gives you the same easy access to
Google searches as Google's own search bar but wait, there’s more. It also provides
access to the excellent Teoma, FAST and other search engines. Because it resides
