I dont have any spam issues that bother me, but if I did, I would be trying this program out. Here is what I got off a freeware email list today:

"Here is a freeware that makes it impossible to ever get
spam again with the click of a button before it ever even
gets to you.

According to the press releases that I have read none of the really
big internet companies want anyone to know about it because they make
a large portion of their money off of their mailing lists. The anti
spam organizations dont want you to know about it because it makes
them obsolete. And the ftc doesn't want you to know about it because
they have built a huge beaurocracy around ending it.

Don't be suspicious because this program absoutely does work.

You can get it throuh the shareware archive dave central and probaby
other places but here is the link for that."

CrazyBrowser, a freeware clone of Netcaptor

 

[Whizzy]

Bumpy !

And a handy tool, you know when you need to boot a (old) system, but are unable to find a bootdisk ?

Look at this site: bootdisk.com

 

[Zebo]

Crazy Browser is a nice front end to IE. Allows for the tabbing system like Mozilla and includes a popup blocker. It's free with no nag/ad ware.

I don't use the popup blocker since I run Proxomitron which some have already linked.

Great thread.

I don't have a link, but look for a program called FavOrg. It's totally awesome. It checks all of your favorites and will redownload all of the little icons thingies. It will also make a seperate directory for these icons. Also, it checks all of your favorites for dead links and can update everything and even can update to the redirected site.

Totally awesome tool.

CamStudio is a tool used for recording screen activity into standard AVI video files. If you move the cursor, launch a new program, type some text, click a few buttons, or select some menus -- anything that you see on your screen -- CamStudio will be able to record all these and allow you to play them back later on.

You can use CamStudio to develop videos to demonstrate features of a new software, for creating movies used in user training, for tracking the progress of a program that executes for a long time, or for recording the sequence of steps that cause the occurrence of bugs in faulty software.

Bootvis boot utility from microsoft can speed up the boot time of loading the OS quite a bit.

 

[Underclocked]

I'm sure this has been mentioned already but have you guys tried Gnucleus as an alternate source for STUFF? No ads, no spyware.

 

[billandopus]

Okay, i'll bite.

My defrag program of choice is GoldenBow System's

VoptMe

For an easy program to use to "optimize" your registry settings for internet use I like SkyLam Software's

IntelliDialup

Everything else I use has been mentioned previously.

Oh, the absolute best automated screen saver out there is the Mr. T ScreenSaver but I don't remember where I dl'ed it. It rocks!
