This Page Was Last Updated on January 04, 2009 .

Not only are these programs 'FREE', the list below is comprised of some of the BEST Software available to enhance your computer experience today!! They are NOT in ANY particular order, so go DOWNLOAD them ALL..... Enjoy!

1. AVG Free Anti-Virus Client (Personal Use Only)

AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition is the most popular free solution available at no cost to home users and provides the high level of detection capability that millions of users around the world trust to protect their computers.

2. Spybot Search & Destroy

Works with Windows Vista(TM) Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behavior to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is FREE, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.

3. WinZip

WinZip, the original and most popular compression utility for Windows, is a powerful and easy-to-use tool that quickly zips and unzips your files to conserve disk space and greatly reduce e-mail transmission time. WinZip 11.1 is available as Standard or Pro.
