Internet

 

Some alternatives to the standard email- and browser clients and some free stuff to protect & clean, during & after your surfing. Free and protect your computer from spy-, ad-ware and mal-ware on your computer. Especially when you use internet banking I would advice to seriously think about the options given below.


Browser: Firefox [-download-]

An alternative for Internet Explorer, only quicker, more save and with a free anti-popup blocker. Spyware is made to track everything you do, which could be from passwords to your internet behaviour, add-ware can give you unwanted commercials and mal-ware just tries to make a mess of your pc. Protect yourself against spy-, add- and malware when you surf with Firefox. Hackers and crackers try to get to the big crowd via Internet Explorer.

Email: Thunderbird [-download-]

An alternative for Outlook (Express). Most of the viruses and other unwanted software are written for Outlook or work via the adressbook from Windows.

Firewall: Zonealarm [-download-]

Protects you when you are on the internet, it closes all the "backdoors" on your computer. Choose at every update not for the "pro"version, but for the regular zonealarm. This Firewall won several awards. (The firewall build in Win XP works only for incoming traffic, Zonealarm also protect you from software that got on your pc and tries to send information from you on the internet.)

Spyware: Spywareblaster [-download-]

This program works for you on the background. It stops ad-, spy and mal-ware before it enters your computer.

Spyware: Ad-aware [-download-]

Adaware also takes away spyware and other stuff that was able to pass your spywareblaster. This program you have to run yourself now and then. Because of the many varieties of the ad-, spy-, and malware.
