For NEW PC OWNERS
Did you just purchase a pc for school? Most come with a trial version of Norton Antivirus, or McAffee Antivirus,and some basic
programs. If the internet is going to be used here are some suggestion of mostly FREE programs to get you started. Some of
these we have listed on our site. Many PC's get bogged down with Adware and some die from a fatal virus attack. I thought
I might re-emphasize the need to run antivirus, anti add software and a firewall to keep your pc happy. New computers come
often with a trial version of Norton or McAffee, but soon you will need to spend more money or suffer the trials of internet
demolition. CNET has a wonderful recomendation of 20 starter programs that are free. I use most of these and AVS is free
anti-virus versus Norton or the other free Avast we have listed. If you want some free software or very cheap solutions to
fixing your pc before you see the blue screen of death or the flashing _ cursor of eternal waiting, check these programs out.
CNET does not offer programs that have spyware or are a danger to your pc. Click the link below if you wish to see this BACK
TO SCHOOL Special. Click on each TAB in the {Security} {TOOLS} {FUN} Tabs These programs should help the average net surfer
and student. :) Keep safe in your neighborhood and in the web.
PC STARTER KIT from CNET
Mozilla Firefox 2.0 has many ways to set your own themes and special additions. Mostly it has features that help prevent malicious
codes from cracking your pc.
Mozilla Firefox 3.0 The webmaster's preferred browser
You may notice that Firefox does not have a built in email feature like Netscape. Thunderbird is the email program that also
has protection features.
Thunderbird version 2.0.0.17
