Some Christmas presents for my friends here: Here are a few utility programs that I have found very useful. They are all free or shareware programs and can be downloaded at several sites. I have provided links to the ZDnet site because it provides user reviews that you can read to judge whether the program might be worthwhile. ZoneAlarm - a great firewall that can protect your PC from external attacks by hackers: zdnet.com CNET CatchUp - a program that scans your PC and provides you with a list of updates available for all of your software with links to the download sites: zdnet.com Ad-Aware - a great program to scan your files and detect any spyware that you might downloaded. These advertising programs invade your privacy and often slow down your system with hidden resident programs: zdnet.com Cacheman - a nice program that may speed up your system by managing your cache memory more efficiently. Great wizards to guide you through the process: zdnet.com Another bit of advice - Clean out your registry on a regular basis with Microsoft's Regclean (available free in a download) or better yet, buy a program like FileFix that can do the job for you more efficiently. FileFix is the best general utility program that I have found and really does a great job in protecting your system by backing up key files and defragmenting your files and registry. May the new year bring you great prosperity. JimC
