• AVG Anti-Virus: http://free.grisoft.com Brett's Top Pick!

• Mozilla Firefox: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox Brett's Top Pick!
  Description: An alternate web browser to Internet Explorer.  It is a must for any Internet Surfer.  And it's Free!

• Spybot Search and Destroy: Brett's Top Pick!
  http://www.safer-networking.org/en/mirrors/index.html
  Description: Not the only program you should be using to scan your computer for Spyware, but in my opinion, it's the best!  They ask for a donation (and I think it deserves one!), but it's free!  It's not automatic, you have to manually update it, manually "immunize" it and manually run the scan.  Not too much to ask for a FREE program!
  Ease of use:  Intermediate
   
• Roboform: http://www.roboform.com
  Description:  Keeps track of all your usernames and passwords on the Internet.  Also will fill out forms for you!  In terms of "ease of use", I would consider this intermediate to advanced.  It can be password protected also!  All information is stored on your computer, not a server on the internet!  Cost: $29.95
  Ease of use:  Intermediate to Advanced

Note:  Most free software contains spyware or malware.  If I recommend a free program, it has been checked and re-checked for any spyware or malware!  I wouldn't use it if I didn't trust it!
