  1. Anti-Virus program? Gotta have it nowadays! There is a very good, free antivirus program put out by AVG AntiVirus. They also have a paid version and a firewall program. Of course, there are always Symantec's Norton AntiVirus and McAfee's VirusScan on which you can usually get a pretty good deal through rebates.
  2. Anit-Malware (free and paid versions) by Malwarebytes, AVG Anti-Spyware (free and paid versions) and SpyBot (free) are good for removing spyware which is surreptitiously slipped into our computers to track and monitor our internet use (and worse).
  3. Firefox and Opera are excellent alternatives to the Internet Explorer browser. Both are free.
  4. Thunderbird (free) is an very good option for an email program to avoid Microsoft's Outlook or Outlook Express.
  5. Google's free Gmail is probably the best of the web-based email programs which include Yahoo and Hotmail. Gmail also has a POP3 interface so you can use your regular email program to send and receive in addition to using the website.
