Recommended Programs
Below are some of the programs and we services that we use an recommend to our customers. Some of these are paid programs but they are well worth it.
Internet & Email
|
Firefox is a fully featured web browser. Has tabbed browsing, popup blocking and several features designed to protect user privacy while browsing. |
|
This is not a program that you install on your computer Its the best web based email. You check your email in a browser; this means that you can check you email from anywhere you have an internet connection. If you don't have it get it. Stop using something else, I mean it.. Just stop it! |
|
We don't recommend file sharing programs for security reasons. BUT if you must I recommend µTorrent. µTorrent is a full-featured Bit Torrent client released by Bit Torrent, Inc. This lightweight client is extremely small and resource efficient |
Online Security
|
Avast is the best antivirus software we have ever used. It works better then Norton McAfee, or AVG. It costs $75 per computer for a 3 year licence. This above all other things on the page we recommend that you buy. |
|
SpywareBlaster works much like SiteAdvisor in that it prevents you from going to unsafe sites. That's all it does, it sits in the background and will stop a site from loading. The free version needs to be manually updated and the paid version will automatically update. |
|
This is the only thing from McAfee that we recommend using. It lets you know if a site you are about to visit is safe of not. The paid version will actually prevent you from visiting the site all together. |
|
This is a good paid program for removing Malware and acting as a firewall. Like all firewall programs it will ask you questions but if you must have a firewall this is much better than McAfee or Norton. |
