Mozilla Firefox |
| Long known for providing a more
secure surfing experience than Microsoft, this top-rated
browser has an extremely potent pop-up blocker that has
become one of its calling cards. The convenience of
tabbed browsing seals the deal. |

RoboForm |
| Online shopping and banking is
convenient, but remembering a mountain of logins,

by generating secure passwords, encrypting your data,
and automatically filling in Web-based forms for you. |

to create a PDF file, almost every Web surfer will
eventually want to read one. To decipher documents in
Adobe's portable document format, you'll need this free
program. |

program even provides templates and macros for writing
basic lines of HTML. |

wipe away your tracks from Internet browsers, various
Windows system areas and some third-party applications.

slate. As a bonus, the program removes your fingerprints
from a number of other popular applications. |

AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition |

Professional version or another antivirus suite altogether,
AVG is a good start. |

excellent protection. |

| This program monitors several computer
locations where malware is most likely to invade, including
start-up programs, browser helper objects, scheduled tasks,
