You should know that the privacy part does more than block porn sites, though. You can put in personal information, like your social, credit cards, birthdate, whatever, and it will make sure that stuff never leaves your PC without your permission. And, you can turn this feature on without actually filtering any web content (basically in "Admin" mode). I like the Comcast free McAfee stuff too.

Good for apps that you have running all the time, but don't want to see Ethereal - To see what's really crossing your network port MSFT Bootvis - Te see what's doin' when you boot ProfileLink - Only for the Lappy, but great to customize your config based on your docked/undocked status StrongBad's Time Machine - Just to hear him say the time,,, '8:28 aaaayyyy mmmmm...'

There is nothing he loves more than learning about new, free software and then passing it on to his co-workers as though he discovered it himself. It is the modern day equivalent of my dad showing off his new John Deere lawnmower to the neighbors.
