Freeware Pick: BlackSheep

November 15, 2010 By

The news has been full of doom and gloom over the Firesheep plugin that allows people to snoop on computers in public hotspots.

Free Wi-Fi hotspots are convenient, but come with increased security risks as well. Another Firefox plug-in called BlackSheep was developed as a Firesheep alarm. It won’t secure your wireless data, and it won’t prevent your information from being snooped by Firesheep, but it will alert you when Firesheep is in use on the network you’re connected to so that you’re aware.

Freeware Pick: Microsoft Security Essentials

July 20, 2010 By

Never pay for antivirus again. Microsoft has come up with a fantastic antivirus utility that is free, small, and just works well. Pretty amazing from Microsoft. The standalone antivirus product Microsoft Security Essentials has caused a stir, as might be expected when the words "Microsoft" and "free" are involved. We have tested the final product, and overall MSE looks good when compared to other Security Suites.

    Freebie: Portal

    May 14, 2010 By

    Portal is free until May 24th. No strings attached

    downloadIcon  Well, technically speaking, there are some strings attached. Fortunately, they’re entirely decorative. We just like the way they look, swaying in the gentle breeze created by a million people simultaneously fainting from shock at the news that Portal is free. Now you have no reason not to try Portal.

    "I have a reason," some of you are probably typing into an angry email. "You see, sir, I own a Mac."

    Well guess what: For the first time ever, Portal is also available for the Mac.

    "Capital news! But the excellent puzzle adventure Portal won over 40 Game of the Year awards; Surely it must cost at least five or six hundred dollars."

    You’d think that, especially since it actually won over 70 Game of the Year Awards. But, like we keep saying, Portal is free. Free on the Mac. Free on the PC. But only until May 24th. So you only have a few days to decide if your free copy of Portal is worth the price we’re currently charging – which is you ever-so-slightly moving your index finger just barely enough to click the big green button right there to the right or click right here.

    Thanks to Steampowered.com for the great gift
