Firewall or anything only useles when you know about them and use them true correct ! Special about firewall , if you don't know much about it then you hard use it correct ! Well, well, well... Firewalls are useful! But you must know how to use them. If you are not sure how, simplest is to install Zonealarm free and opt for automatic settings. That will take care of the rest. Not having a firewall in your machine is like not having locks on your house doors. Not only that, leaving them open too, when you have a lot of goodies in the house! Take care mates...

I use Maxthon browser. It has a built in pop-up blocker. Maxthon is an Internet Explorer based web browser that adds a lot of new features as well as a fresh new look to your standard Internet Explorer browser interface. Among the added features are a tabbed interface that allows you to quickly switch between multiple web pages and create groups of pages that you can launch with a single click. In addition, it offers several privacy features like cookie and history cleanup as well as an option to delete the typed address bar URLs (either all or only selected). There are many other features, most of them small, but very handy. For example, it supports URL aliases and keyboard shortcuts, quick proxy switching, auto-scrolling, network speed display as well as content filtering and a popup window killer. Maxthon supports plug-ins (some come included). It is freeware. http://www.maxthon.com/

Which is the best browser? This is a question that haunts many! Here is the list: My favourite is Maxthon (previously MyIE2) This is an IE based browser and requires that you have Internet Explorer also in your computer. It has innumerable features including tab support, pop-up blocker and Ad hunter! Not far behind in the list is Mozilla Firefox. This is not based on IE and that itself has many advantages. These two are the must try browsers before choosing. After you start using any of these, I can assure you, you will never return to IE again! Opera is also a good browser, but is ad supported and costs money if you want to remove the ads! No way!

Adware & Spyware Removers Imagine somebody stealing your chequebooks that were signed but left blank. Spywares do the same dirty work and be aware of them and certainly keep away from them! Adwares install advertisements in your computer which may harm the PC and in addition, slow down the computer. There is no ONE software to rely on. You need TWO! That is if you want to be doubly sure. Don't worry, both are free! Ad-aware se. This excellent program is available as a professional paid version also, but the free version is more than enough for home users. Get it hereand scan your PC at least once a week, if not more frequently! Spybot Search & Destroy. There are many adware and spyware that may escape Ad-aware. The second line of defense must be this utility. You can get it here.

TOOLBARS... Google Toolbar Take the power of Google with you anywhere on the web. Search the web with Google from any site Eliminate annoying pop-up ads Shop faster - fill in forms with one click New! Browse by Name Special toolbar for Internet Explorer users that puts a Google search box right into your browser. In addition, you can use it to see the "PageRank" popularity score of any page you are viewing, search within the particular site you are viewing, see a previous of "cached" copy of any dead pages, find pages similar to the one you are viewing, block pop-ups and more. It loads within seconds and is well worth adding to your browser. Using the toolbar with PageRank enabled sends some information back to Google. If that concerns you, choose the "Install Without Advanced Features" option. Highly-recommended. Download it here Code: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Google Deskbar Provides the ability to search with Google from the taskbar within Windows. In other words, you can search without having to be in your browser. AltaVista Toolbar Provides access to AltaVista web, news and multimedia search, page translation, term highlighting and pop-up blocking. Ask Jeeves Toolbar In addition to searching Ask.com, the Jeeves toolbar lets you limit your search to news, dictionary, stock market, weather, events, maps, and the Ask Jeeves Kids web sites. Dogpile Search Toolbar Consolidates a variety of useful web and specialized searches into a single, easy to use interface. (Review: Dogpile's Toolbar Fetches More than Search Engine Results, June 25, 2003) MSN Toolbar Provides the ability to search the web using MSN Search, perform site specific searches, term highlighting and pop-up blocking. Teoma Search Bar Provides direct access to Teoma's search results, offers search term highlighting on the pages you visit, allows access to an online dictionary and provides the ability to email any web page you view. Yahoo Companion Search Yahoo, access Yahoo Mail, check on stocks and more via a toolbar within your browser. It also has pop up blocker and Antispy now!!! One HOT addition mates... VIVISIMO Minibar... Vivisimo is a Cluster Search Engine. Your search results are clustered into different categories, so it is easy to find what you need, unlike Google which gives everything... like searching a needle in a haystack... I am using it and am very glad to continue using it...

Windows XP SP2 Microsoft has released Windows XP Service Pack 2. What is it for? Making Windows XP systems more secure and updating Tablet and Media Center PC operating systems. Who is it for? Anyone running a PC with Window XP Home/Pro Advantages: FREE New firewall; pop-up ad blocker for Internet Explorer; new Security Center makes managing security apps easier Recommended? YES!

Free Antivirus Software Not much behind the requirement for firewalls is the inevitable need for an antivirus software. Most of these cost a lot of money and need to upgraded regularly and that again costs money! An antivirus is like having a in-house policeman. There are free antivirus software available that can beat any paid product. Take for example AVG antivirus. I have absolutely no complaints against this product. Literally. There are others available here too, but what makes AVG best is that it has auto-update feature that is lacking in most other free antivirus products. Get free AVG antivirus here. You need to register with your real email to get this free. Don't worry, they wont spam you either!
