Internet software
Software to survive the internet jungle
Browsers:
There are many different browsers on the market today and most are free with advertising or just free. Microsoft package along with its operating system one called internet explorer which is built into the system. But there is a choice of a number like Mozilla (an open source netscape type browser), Crazy browser, Slim Browser and a few others but the one I recommend for everyone is called Opera as it has many functions like load in optimizing which optimizes the graphics as they load in for faster web browsing. Opera displays websites at a rate 30% faster than IE and Netscape.
Browser needed: Opera, and the standard Internet Explorer
Email:
Microsoft supply an email client with Windows and the Internet Explorer suite called outlook express. Its very easy to use and to set up. However, it tends to because everyone uses it be the butt of all the virus infections not to any fault of its own. But there are numerous email clients available. One which I recommend it made by a company called Qualcom and is free with advertisements called Eudora. Itβs the original and the best and very simple to use.
Email Client Needed: Eudora.
Anti Spam Tools and email utilis
There are a huge number on the market and but the two I like are free
Email remover: This program logs into the computer
Spyware cleaner: Unfortunately as we trail the internet from time to time we pick up bugs and pieces of adaware, hijackers and Trojans that find there way onto your computer throughout your time on the internet. So it has become necessary to have something that will clean these little buggers off your system. Unfortunately, these sort of programs are not free, but some are supported in a trialware or freeware basis. There are number of products available on the market but I have a couple of which I recommend because they work the best.
Hijack this β a program that looks for anything that could be Hijacking your computers web browsers or other functions. This goes in and clears out the junk, adware and any other code that should not be being processed.
Adaware β a great little program that can be regularly updated and used to scan the computer for pop up advertisements, some hijackers, cookies, spyware, bugs and basically processes that will slow the machine down in its running speed.
Spyware cleaner free edition β this fellow does just what the name says it gets ride of trojens and other hijackers and nasty stuff. It does its job very very well
