4 Smart [and Free] Programs For Your Computer
Firefox - a web browser for the ages. Okay, a web browser
that beats Internet Explorer by preventing pop ups and
harmful scripts from being downloaded to your computer. Lots of
nifty features too, including tabbed browsing, live bookmarks,
and tons of add-on features.
Spybot Search and Destroy - gets rid of adware, spyware,
and malware. Blocks the installation of spyware before it
occurs; works in conjunction with anti-virus software, not as a
replacement for one.
AVG Antvirus - offers basic antivirus protection
including scanning email attachments for viruses and scanning of
all hard drives, removable drives, and external drives on your
computer. A paid version does some additional tasks and includes
technical support.
Zone Alarm - if you don't have a firewall installed on
your computer, you are opening yourself up to potential
catastrophic security breaches. With Stealth Mode enabled you
can search the internet in private, away from the intruding eyes
of those who might want to steal your important information.
As with many freeware programs, "pro" or professional versions
of the software are sometimes available to give computer users a
maximum amount of protection, for a price. Still, all four of
these programs have something to offer and are worth exploring.
Your computer safety and privacy is essential, insure it today
by downloading the programs that are right for you.
