| My Free Downloadable Programs |
| Welcome to my free downloads page. Below is some of my more favorite and/or used programs that I use on a daily basis. I've also put a short description of each with my own opion about the program. |
 |
| AVG Anti-Virus Program |
 |
| This is a nice little Anti-Virus program that I currently use on my computer system. If you have DSL, Cable, or a T line that is always on, this program will run at start-up and update by itself. It contains a resident shield and a E-mail scanner. After you download this program, it will send you a code key to your e-mail box. Its already caught a couple of viruses trying to enter my system. This program will also work with a dial-up connection. However you will have to download the updates manually. The updates are also free. You can also set a time to always run the virus scanner. (Example: 9:30 am) |

| ICQ |
|
| I had to add this program because its been around for awhile. I used it when it first went on the net. It was a great IM program. You can meet alot of interesting people. However........you notice that I said "was". A few years ago, America Online (AOL) bought out ICQ. Well, whatever AOL touches, they make things worse. Since they bought ICQ, The ICQ program is filled with spam and ads. They always seem to have a "newer version" available every couple of months. I noticed that these updated versions are only refined so to put all kinds of AOL crap in your computer. AOL ads pop up in your favorites menu, start menu, programs, etc.. They seem to get better and better at hiding the ads in your computer system. Like I said earlier, If you can put up with the spam, this is still a descent program. |

| Ad-aware |
|
| This is a awesome program for scanning and getting rid of any spyware from your computer. You have to run it manually, but it gets rid of the most stubburn spyware there is. I run it about once a week to keep my system clean. You can configue it to scan just what you want, or your whole system. I give this program two thumbs up! |

| Trillian |
|
| This program is nice, because it runs AOL, MSN, IRC, Yahoo, and ICQ IM programs all at once. Instead of running all those programs using up your computer recsoures, this one uses hardly any, yet still monitors all those programs. You have to configue it with its set-up wizard, but after that it runs all by itself. |
|
| WinMX |
|
| This is a nice program for downloading songs and other files to your computer. This is a shareware program. Your really downloading from other peoples computers through a main system. Don't worry! Its safe from computer viriuses. You also share your "My Documents" file with other people. I have probably about 15 Gb of songs on my system waiting to be burnt to CD. This is a widely used program. Very nice! |
| ** Note ** This program is capable of downloading offensive material. I would not recommend allowing small children to use this program unattened. |
|
| Weather Watcher |
| This is a nice little program that runs down by your clock. It displays the current temp. The main screen doesn't have any ads or spam. You have options to set how often you want to auto update and when there is severe weather in your zip code area, it indicates with flashing the temp and/or playing a wave file of your choice. |
|
| Swat It |
| This is a very interesting program. It removes trojan and bot virusis. But the program runs painfully slow! You have to run the program manually each time. It did remove a trojan nasty that was in my wifes computer without any harm to the computer. |

| ePrompter |
|
| This is a awesome program if you have multiple E-mail boxes. This program has no ads or spam. You have to configuere each mailbox, but when your done, it'll check almost any mailbox. It does support POP3 mail. I have it checking Yahoo, MSN, ICQ, AOL, and a few others. It runs automatically at whatever time intervals that you want. You can also compose, reply, and save addresses with it. I give this program 3 stars! |
