Freebie Notes 3.26

http://www.pw-soft.com/stick-notes/index.html

In a hectic world, the Freebie Notes application can help restore at least a small bit of balance and perhaps a bit of ordered chaos to one's computer desktop. With this application, users can create electronic notes to place on their desktop, create reminders and alarms associated with each one, and also customize their parameters to make them more or less visually prominent. This version is compatible with computers running Windows 95 and newer. [KMG]



AVG LinkScanner 8.5.289

http://linkscanner.avg.com/

Users hoping to look for safe websites as they browse will appreciate learning about AVG's LinkScanner plug-in. LinkScanner works with both Firefox and Internet Explorer via its "Search Shield" to return only search safe results from both Google and Yahoo tagged with green or red flags. When visitors move over a flag, they will learn the IP address of the site, along with other relevant information. This version is compatible with computers running Windows 2000 and newer. [KMG]
