Useful Utilities!

Here are some of the useful software utilities that we use on a daily basis.

They are free, or shareware. They contain no malware unless indicate, and we receive no compensation for sharing these with you. It's our pleasure to be of service!

If you have a problem with any of the programs listed, please let us know immediately!

Security

TrendMicro RUBotted.
With all the news around PC's running botnets, this is a great free utility that allows you to check for yourself!

ZoneAlarm Free Firewall.
As much as I always tell my class that the windows firewall is better than none at all, you no longer have a reason to go without. It doesn't cost you a dime! Note: For the free version, click the far right button!

Spybot Search and Destroy
This is running on my machine along with the Ad-aware and my Trend Micro Internet Security Pro!

Note: This is a link directly to the executable for 1.6. Many of my students have had problems with the mirrors not being clear about which file is the real file and which is a paid advertiser. Needless to say, they've downloaded the WRONG spybot on many occasions! So, I've put the direct link here to avoid any problems!

Lavasoft's Ad-Aware
Be sure to click the green "Download Now" button to get the correct file.

Productivity Tools

Open Office
My personal solution to getting rid of Microsoft as much as I can! And, we will be providing support to these soon!

Thuderbird
Tired of Microsoft Outlook? Want a new, securer way to get your e-mail? This is my solution! I use this with the lightening plug-in and it works just like Outlook used to, only more secure!
