| Adware/Spyware detection and removal Adware and spyware programs are generally installed without your knowledge or consent. They slow down your computer and can send private information to other people. This software will scan your computer for such programs and help you remove them. While there are many choices for detection/removal software our choices are PrevX and Ad-Aware. |

| Antivirus software Many of the most popular names in antivirus software have started branching out into other areas of security as well. While this is not necessarily a bad thing - sometimes it is nice to have a basic program that does its job and does not interfere with other programs. We have found that Clam Antivirus does a great job at finding virii. While it does not have all of the bells and whistles of many of its competitors it is still a good program and the cost (free) cannot be beat. | Clam Antivirus for Windows |
| Image editing If you are looking for an image editing program full of features and on a budget you will find it in Paint Shop Pro from Corel. | PaintShopPro from Corel |
| Productivity Software Suite We have found Open Office to be a great free software package comparable to most other office productivity packages that are available for purchase. This package contains a word processing tool, spreadsheet tool, presentation tool, drawing tool and HTML editor. It is an easy to use and to understand program whose only cost is the time to download. | Open Office from Sun Microsystems |
| Web Browser Mozilla Firefox is our favorite web browser. We will not say that any web browser is bad - but we will say that we like many features of Firefox. Tabbed browsing is a very useful feature, the adblock module is a great addtion, the download manager gives you quick access to all of those hard to find downloads, and popup ads are gone without any extra software. | Mozilla Firefox |
