Would
you like to know some programs that would make your online life easier or safer?
Read on!
On this page, I have put together a list of programms
that I use and that I can highly recommend. They are making my life easier. Really!
This list is going to grow. I suggest you sign up for my newsletter
which will be sent out on a very unregular basis, depending on new stuff I put
up on this site or other things that I think could be of interest for you.
Here
it goes:
Firewall from Zonealarm Zonealarm
has a free version and also a Pro version which costs $49.95 but I think it's
worth the money because they have a life update and with those now daily new worms
and viruses you are protected. I feel pretty safe with it.
If you have DSL
or any other highspeed connection to the Internet, IMHO, you need a firewall
(it doesn't have to be Zonealarm) and of course a virus-scanner (one that
is up-to-date) . If you still have a modem you might want to think about
those additional security messaures as well, but for DSL it's a MUST.
MailWasher
- no more Spam is one of my favorite programs. See, I get a lot of spam
because I have many webpages and many email-addresses.
If you only have one email-address you can download MailWasher
Free, but if you have more than one, then you need MailWasher
Pro!
You can look at your emails without the hazard of downloading them
onto your computer. You screen them and delete spam and unwanted emails BEFORE
they are on you computer! With a friendslist and a blacklist you will get less
and less emails to scan. No more rubbish on your computer. Did you know, that
even when you delete and empty your trashbin those emails are still on your computer?
When I find out where I can delete those, I will let my newsletter subscribers
know. More...
AdAware This
program was recommended to me by my computerman and I let it run at least
once a week. It checks your computer for tracking files. It's free and easy.
