FEATURED FREEWARE:
Ad Shield Have you ever wished there was something you could do to get rid of all those banner ads which clutter up the content of your favorite web pages? Well, wish no more! Ad Shield is here. Features seamless integration with Internet Eplorer (only); stand alone (i.e., does NOT require extablishing or working through a proxy) interface; a tool bar button which activates the interface within your browser; easily customizable drag-and-drop block list; much more. Mozilla Let's face it. Netscape--and the open-source Mozilla browser upon which it is based--began to lose ground in a competition with Internet Explorer some time around the debut of NS 3.0. That, thankfully, is no longer the case. Mozilla, now in 1.3 Beta, is what Netscape should have been all along. The newest version even puts its more "commercialized" equivalent--Netscape 7.0--to shame. There's the standard skinnable interface, of course, but now there's bulk/junk mail filtering and a wonderful feature which lets you block banner ads! If you haven't tried the Lizard in a while, maybe it's time to review the new release. (Don't let the Beta designation scare you away: the browser's been operating safely on my machine for over a year with only ONE crash. I wish I could say the same about IE. :-)) Win MX Where Napster left off, this program picks up. Win MX is Napster, pumped up on steroids and with an attitude! Select from an infinite number of servers and multiple file types to share: audio, video, images, DLL's DRV's--and even executables if you dare. The program is completely configurable and gives you total control over the types of files to share in its library. This program RULES! Napigator After about five minutes toying with Win MX, you'll quickly realize you need a list of open nap servers to add to the one which comes automatically programmed within Win MX. Napigator, at the expense of having to deal with annoying pop-up ad windows, provides you with a plethora of automatically updated servers. (Note: After installation, if you don't have a later version of Napster installed, you'll have to run the Napigator standalone executable. The other one integrates with Napster. Ultimate Zip An excellent freeware file archiving (zipping and unzipping) tool with Explorer shell integration. IrfanView The absolute BEST freeware view-anything, play anything program on the planet bar none! I can't say enough about this program. You'll have to download it to see all the varied features. Winamp Plays CD's, Wav's, Midi's and Mp3's. This program looks and works really well, but newer versions are a tad unstable (on my system anyway). ZoneAlarm An easily configurable freeware Internet firewall. A must-have for those wanting to keep the wolves off their e-doorstep. Atomica A freeware dictionary, thesaurus and encyclopedia utility which provides definitions and information on any word in any application, and which is made available simply by alt-clicking on a word. Note: you MUST have IE 4.0 or greater in order to use this program. Pic-Pluck If you ever wanted to download the graphics from a site but didn't want to waste an afternoon clicking through it, this program is for you. WARNING! The freeware version of this program contains spyware (which can be easily stripped clean by the program below. :-)) Ad-Aware If you spend a lot of time downloading freeware from the Internet, chances are that you've downloaded attendant software which is designed to track your every move while on-line. Such programs are referred to as spyware. This program scans your system for spyware (including references within that never-never land called your Windows registry) and will flawlessly remove same if prompted to do so. Be advised that some freeware is designed to integrate with spyware and will be rendered useless if the spyware is removed. Nevertheless, the *informed* choice should be yours. The Sword Project An open-source, modularized freeware Bible program with multiple dictionaries, commentaries and encyclopedias. It isn't pretty, but if you're looking for an excellent and powerful Bible program to aid in discussions or study, this one's for you. The base reader is about 2.6 megs, and you have the choice over which versions and add-ons to download. Unlike other freeware Bible programs out there, this one will not take over your system and utilizes very little RAM. (Note: The base install does not include a version module, so if you open the reader before downloading one and find it blank, don't be surprised. Go back to the site and select the version module you like the best: KJV, RSV, etc.) Dave's Place A Beginner's Guide to Freeware & Shareware on the Internet.
