Free Computer Resources (Do not download without parents' permission!)

Download OpenOffice. A free program suite with functions similar to Microsoft Office (e.g. Excel, Word, Powerpoint, etc.).

Download Mozilla Firefox. A free web browser that is more secure than Internet Explorer and has a better pop-up ad blocker.

Download Mozilla Thunderbird. A free email client that is more secure than Outlook.

Download Mozilla. The full Mozilla package including Firefox, Thunderbird, a chat client, and html editor. While most people only really need Firefox and Thunderbird, this is nice for the truly computer savvy.

Download Avast Antivirus. An antivirus program that is free for home non-commercial use. I highly recommend having antivirus software on any computer with access to the internet; especially those with broadband (e.g. cable, dsl) connections.

Download ZoneAlarm. A firewall with a free basic home version. Like antivirus software, it is recommended that every computer with internet access have a firewall. This prevents programs from accessing the internet without your permission and hackers from accessing your computer from remote locations.

Dowload Ad-Aware and Spybot Search & Destroy. These spybot killers prevent companies from downloading your personal information from you computer and installing advertiser software without your permission. It is recommended that these be run at least once a week. Both are recommended as each catches things the other doesn't.
