What's New!!!

This website is designed to offer 24 hour technical support services to our clients.  We've provided a number of resources here to help you resolve problems and report or suggest improvements.

Top Recommended Downloads:

  • Advanced SystemCare Free - a great product from IO Bit.  Want a faster computer? This will scan & fix many problems on your 2000/XP or Vista based PC including removal and prevention of some malware software.
  • AVG Anti-Virus - They have updated the freeware edition to version 8.5.  If you are using any older edition, please download the much improve version here which now includes spyware detection. It has a much less annoying banner than other "free" AV software and AVG has recently received many awards.
  • ClamWin - a free basic Antivirus.  It doesn't have 'online shield' protection, but can be set for scheduled scans and is the only 'second' antivirus you can use. No banners, No ads, etc.
  • Easycleaner 2.0 - a basic tool for cleaning your system of unwanted .tmp files and registry entries.
  • Mozilla's Firefox - A free alternative web browser with lots of plugins. Also if you are using Outlook Express and don't need the features of MS Outlook, try Thunderbird - a free mail program with built-in anti-spam features.
  • OpenOffice.Org - The best non-Microsoft Office compatible product.  Now supports all MS Office documents including the new 2007 XML file format.  If you don't need Outlook, why buy Microsoft Office?  This one is free.
  • Opera - a very secure web browser.  Not as many "plug-ins" as Firefox, but a bit more responsive. I'm presently alpha testing version 10 and love it, until then version 9 is great.
  • Online Armor Free - a firewall that is much improved over the built-in one and has some basic HIPS protection included (For a version that works with Windows 2000 - click here).  There are much more advanced firewalls out there, but this one is easy to use and will provide better protection for your personal computer.
  • Windows Defender - a basic Microsoft Anti-spyware product. Not the best by any measure, but a fundamental tool to have on a Windows XP system (it is included with Vista) - What is Spyware?
  • WOT - Web of Trust is a free add-on for users of Internet Explorer and Firefox to protect you from dangerous websites that contain malicious software or try to steal your private information.
  • Zipcentral - a free zip/unzip tool.  This is an older product, but is fully free and works fine for most .zip files.

IMPORTANT: It has become our primary recommendation to keep all Microsoft Operating Systems (2000, XP, Vista, etc.) updated with the latest official service pack along with any subsequent critical updates.  At a minimum, the built-in firewall should be enabled (XP & Vista) and it is also important to have ONE active antivirus software package (I recommend AVG Free for home users and AVG Network Edition for business clients).  I also recommend an additional spyware scanner or HIPS (Intrusion Protection) product since Microsoft's Windows Defender is NOT sufficient even with AVG.

Also, unless you need Outlook or  are required to run MS Office for some specific reason, I highly recommend OpenOffice 3.x from Sun Microsystems for all home users and many business clients.

 

**Please note that we no longer support Windows 95/98/ME or NT.
