Skype - With Skype you can use your computer to call other Skype users anywhere in the world for free. This software lets you make PC-to-PC calls conducted over the Internet. Using the Skype service requires both parties to have the software installed and active, plus a microphone headset attached to the computer. It supports video calls, too--for that, you'll need a Webcam.
CWShredder v2.1 - Even if your PC has Ad-aware and Spybot Search & Destroy, you still can't stop some versions of an insidious and virus-like pest called CoolWebSearch. Fortunately, a Dutch student who goes simply by the name Merijn wrote a tiny free tool called CWShredder that specializes in removing dozens of CWS variants. InterMute bought the program and now maintains it as a standalone download and bundled with SpySubtract Pro. The following link downloads the standalone version of CWShredder.
Microsoft Windows Defender - Protect yourself in real-time against pernicious programs that change your Internet settings and exploit your private information. MWD detects spyware programs, tells you where they're located, gives you a risk rating, and recommends what action you should take. You can then disable the program or permanently remove it. If you inadvertently remove any programs you later want, you can get them back.
