New Favorite FREE Anti-Spyware Software

Okay, for years I've been using Spybot-Search and Destroy and Ad-Aware to clean up spyware and they've worked pretty good. Lately the spyware has been getting trickier and harder to clean so I've been looking for another solution. This latest software kicked them both out the door. It's got a hokey name but it performs like a dream. It's called SUPERAntispyware. You can download it from http://www.download.com/SUPERAntiSpyware-Free-Edition/3000-8022_4-10523889.html?tag=mncol&cdlPid=10881361

Google Docs

Well, here's the most underused FREE software out there. If you sign up for a Gmail account you can also use a FREE product called Google Documents. It is a full online word processing, spreadsheet, presentation office suite that you can use from anywhere and save the files as well as share them or publish them to the web. All you need is a Google account and you have unlimited access to this wonderful resource.

Uninstalling Programs

I tried out a bunch of supposedly free uninstallers and they wanted $35-$95. I said, thanks but no thanks and found this one. It is definitely free http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html I tested it and it worked beautifully.

This kind of utility comes in handy when you want to clean up your computer of old junk to improve performance on your computer. So many older systems have extra information in their registry slowing them down because you've added and removed software and didn't know how to do a registry clean-up. Give your old computer a break and clean up your act. Another great FREE utility is Abexo Registry Cleaner. This improved the performance of my computer right out of the gate http://www.download.com/Abexo-Free-Registry-Cleaner/3000-2094_4-10434886.html

Why Are You Buying Office Software?

It amazes me that people are still paying Microsoft for their lousy upgrades and poor customer service. Get a clue people! OpenOffice.org is an amazing product that gives you a fully functional office suite of products: Word processing, spreadsheet, presentations, graphics editing and more

The Audacity Of It All

So, I don't know about you but I do a lot with audio files. I have been looking for a good solution for recording and editing MP3's. This free software is available online and it requires a little extra work to download an additional codex for converting to MP3's. It's called Audacity and you're going to love it.
