If you see new toolbars in Internet Explorer that you didn't intentionally install, if your browser crashes or if the start page of the browser has changed without your knowing, you most probably have spyware. But even if you don't see anything, you may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging that is silently tracking your surfing behavior to create a marketing profile that will be sold to advertisement companies. Spybot Search & Destroy is free, so there's no harm in trying to see if something snooped into your computer. If you fear incompatibility with other software you are using, we can assure you that will not be the case. Spybot Search & Destroy can also clean usage tracks, an interesting function if you share your computer with other users and don't want them to see what you worked on. And for professional users, it allows to fix some registry inconsistencies and extended reports. Spybot Search & Destroy also delivers useful tools such as an e-mail list of opt-out addresses to stop unwanted solicitations and a file shredder to securely overwrite unwanted files deleted from your PC. For protection against ad-serving software, trojan horses and other means of tracking your surfing habits, get Spybot Search & Destroy immediately.

Release Notes:
PuTTY is a free SSH, Telnet and Rlogin client for 32-bit Windows systems. SSH, Telnet and Rlogin are three ways of doing the same thing: logging in to a multi-user computer from another computer, over a network. Multi-user operating systems, such as Unix and VMS, usually present a command-line interface to the user, much like the Command Prompt or MS-DOS Prompt in Windows. The system prints a prompt, and you type commands which the system will obey. Using this type of interface, there is no need for you to be sitting at the same machine you are typing commands to. The commands and responses, can be sent over a network, so you can sit at one computer and give commands to another one, or even to more than one. SSH, Telnet and Rlogin are network protocols that allow you to do this. On the computer you sit at, you run a client, which makes a network connection to the other computer (the server). The network connection carries your keystrokes and commands from the client to the server and carries the server's responses back to you. These protocols can also be used for other types of keyboard-based interactive session. In particular, there are a lot of bulletin boards, talker systems and MUDs (Multi-User Dungeons) which support access using Telnet. There are even a few that support SSH.

Today you need to remember many passwords. You need a password for the Windows network logon, your e-mail account, online passwords, etc. The list is endless.

The thief would have access to your computer, e-mail account, etc. Unimaginable.
KeePass Password Safe is a free open source password safe and manager which helps you to manage your passwords in a secure way. You can put all your passwords in one database, which is locked with one master key and/or a key-disk. So you only have to remember one single master password and/or insert the key-disk to unlock the whole database. The databases are encrypted using the best and most secure encryption algorithms known today (AES and Twofish).

Release Notes:
Utilu Mozilla Firefox Collection is a utility that contains multiple versions of the free web browser Mozilla Firefox, which are standalone so they can be used at the same time. Mozilla Firefox is a registered trademark of the Mozilla Foundation.

In Utilu Mozilla Firefox Collection you can quickly see how your websites look when rendered using different versions of the Gecko render engine. You can specify the filenames or locations (URLs) to open in multiple installed versions of Mozilla Firefox. Also the versions to open can be chosen.

Filenames or URLs that include spaces must be enclosed in quotes ("). Multiple filenames or URLs may be used by separating them by spaces. This will result in multiple tabs being opened.
Entering for example
"C:\Directory\Local File.html" http://mozilla.com/ http://utilu.com/
in the input field will open the local file and the two URLs in three tabs in the installed versions of Mozilla Firefox which can be selected in the next step.

The version number of each included version of Mozilla Firefox can be found in the window title.

Utilu Mozilla Firefox Collection also includes the Firebug and Web Developer add-ons for all included versions of Mozilla Firefox. These add-ons provide a variety of tools which make troubleshooting websites much easier.

The user-friendly installation is fully customizable, which means that you can install only those components that you want. You can also make an unattended installation.

Utilu Mozilla Firefox Collection fully supports upgrading, so there is no need to uninstall a previous version before installing a newer version: just install the newer version on top of the currently installed version with the same or more components selected.

Utilu Mozilla Firefox Collection is only available in English.

Utilu Mozilla Firefox Collection is primarily intended for web developers. Regular users can better use Utilu Silent Setup for Mozilla Firefox.

Release Notes:
You can keep your Microsoft Windows-based computer up to date using Microsoft Update (previously Windows Update). Microsoft Update is a free Internet service from Microsoft that helps you get the latest updates for your computer, including critical security updates, performance improvements, enhancements, updated hardware drivers and the latest versions of Windows features such as the Windows Media Player. Microsoft Update is an alternative to picking and choosing the updates you need for your particular computer and software from the large library of all available updates. Because the service can identify the correct updates for your particular hardware and software, Microsoft Update makes it much easier to make sure your computer has all the latest operating system improvements. You can use the Microsoft Update website to review, select and install all the latest updates for your computer whenever you like, helping you to ensure that your computer stays up to date and secure.

Computer users must get into the habit of regularly running Microsoft Update on their computer operating system. Doing this on a regular basis is a good method of taking care of bug-fixes and minimizing security vulnerabilities. Computers and software are the new tools of our trade and it is the responsibility of the user to maintain them. Taking a few minutes each week to ensure your operating system and software applications are up-to-date is a pretty cheap insurance against having your computer compromised.

Remember that Microsoft does not distribute updates or patches by e-mail. If you receive e-mail purporting to be from Microsoft, claiming to be a security update, it is almost certainly a virus.
