WinPatrol is an excellent App that can control your startup list along with other things such as Windows services and tasks. Also notifies you when there is a new registry entry not previously found (good for catching Spyware). Excellent program.

OpenOffice version 1.12

Open Office features ALL of the capabilities of Microsoft Office, and hundreds of extra features. It is FREE, completely. When I switched it automatically loaded up my Text documents, Spreadsheets, Presentations-everything. Try it, you will love it-you won't go back to MS Office. Another fine product from the Linux community (who also made FireFox and Thunderbird). Excellent program.

Mozilla Firefox

qleft  Firefox's superiority  qright

Mozilla Firefox version 0.92

  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

FireFox is by far the best browser out there, anywhere, and the best yet from the Mozilla community. Utilizes bandwidth to it's fullest potential, is absolutely pop-up proof, virtually-hacker-proof and also blocks all modern Spybots and Adware. Also, throw in the ability to customize visual themes and add various extensions, each FireFox browser is unique to the individual. Recommend Mozilla ThunderBird (E-mail client) and OpenOffice (replacement for Microsoft Office Apps).

Horrible program in my opinion. Also filled with security holes and bugs. Recommend NERO for burning and ripping.

Excellent program, and I am at a loss at what they mean by "crippled". This program seems to be limitlessly functional. Excellent program, I use it often and have been for 2 years. I would recommend it to anyone.
