PDF Reader and Printing Program.

FOXIT

Free and fast .. less than a meg. and does everything the casual user needs in a PDF Viewer.

Might be a good idea to only post apps that are used so that members aren't being testers for unknown software...what with all the adware and spyware out there.

Also, if anyone sees a posted app they know has a 'problem', it would be proper to post the issue.



That said, I have found the freeware version of Shortkeys very handy.

ShortKeys is a utility that allows you to set up replacement text or paragraphs for any given number of user defined keystrokes. ShortKeys monitors the keyboard activity on a global nature and anytime a user defined keystroke combination is typed in, it will be replaced with the replacement text.

Save Time! Automate tedious and repetitive typing. Reduce errors. Type a few characters and ShortKeys will replace them with up to 3000 keystrokes. You will be amazed how much time ShortKeys will save.

Countless Uses. If you find yourself typing the same thing over and over again, then this product is for you.

This is their site:

I use Shortkeys for formatting my posts more than anyhing else.

Shortkeys looks like an expanded version of the ITAP Mode on my V551 Motorola which is a predicitive text entry mode.

This mode used to drive me crazy when using it until I learned how to take advantage of it then it made good sense.

My favorite that I have used for years is called E-Mail Remover. It allows you to check your mail and delete at your ISP's site. No need to retrieve mail you don't want.Get it here

Don't want anybody to know what you were doing on your PC?

Don't want them to know the web sites you've visited, or the search queries you've made?

IE Privacy Keeper won't let anybody know that!

Whether you are using Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox, IE Privacy Keeper automatically cleans up the browser history once you are done surfing the net. The program will correctly clean up all index.dat files without the need for a Windows restart.

Hi All,
Try this, it's a very small program,but I find it gives a lot of reassurrance, what do you think?

Bazooka™ Adware and Spyware Scanner detects a multitude of spyware, adware, trojan, keylogger, foistware and trackware components; sources of irritation that antivirus software does not deal with. The scanning process will only take about two seconds and tell you how to uninstall the potentially unwanted applications using simple step-by-step instructions or put you in contact with the vendor for the most up-to-date and safe uninstall instructions.
