your online life once held? Well the most important thing to staying online is to not be cheap when it concerns the safety of your computer. I do recommend investing in a good antivirus program. I use VIPRE Internet Security. It doesn’t slow down my computer and the customer service is OUTSTANDING!However if you refuse to splurge on your internet security [Rest Assured that Vipre is NOT expensive] but instead you choose a free
antivirus program like Comodo Antivirus that will keep your PC Free of All Malware, Spyware, Viruses and Trojans via its Breakthrough, patent-pending technology designed to prevent all infections. As many of you are already ware: Comodo has designed an Award-Winning Firewall that Keeps Your Personal Information Private and Blocks unauthorized access, unknown threats, even hacker attacks.The biggest plus of this antivirus is TrustConnect Wi-Fi Data Encryption for defense against wireless information theft. Installation of Comodo Antivirus is relatively painless – there’s no need to register the product and your system will require a reboot to finish the installation process.
AVAST Free Antivirus
I’ve used Avast and it’s a decent free option, however unlike Comodo it doesn’t include the firewall in the free version. Still, Avast wants to create a unified approach to your computer security. Long gone are the days of the quirky interface. Avast is accessible and robust, with an impressive list of free features and strong, though hardly stellar, performance benchmarks.
When it comes to your security, Avast 2012
gets a lot right. It's got a usable, uncluttered interface, solid although not stellar benchmarks, and a set of features that keeps it at the forefront of Windows security. Conclusion
The freeware option are limited in the scope of protection offered if you need full strength security.then you should fortify your free-antivirus with Cocoon Internet Security.
Cocoon is an all-in-one plugin for Internet Explorer and Firefox that makes everything you do online private, secure and virus-free. As far as privacy apps go, Cocoon is very, very discreet.

eCalc
eCalc is a free Desktop alternative to the Windows Calculator.
Helps you do the basic "a squared plus b
squared equals c squared". And other general math equations. I came across this and was like "Hey, good to know. I'd forgotten this!" :) Good stuff.
More importantly though is the online scientific calculator that it connects to, not requiring any download to use and the colors are: Oh So Happy ;o)
