Microsoft Security Essentials Win XP-SP2 - Win7	Well, Mermy has used AVG, Avast, & even Spybot Search & Destroy over the course of several years. They are all good Free Anti-Virus Programs!

If you really only want to be able to open and view .PDF files,
you most likely don't need all that other garbage Adobe is installing into your machine.

HexEdit
5.0
Windows All

HexEdit 5.0 is a free binary file editor or hex editor.

Mermy once used 'UltraEdit', but got tired of having to always pay $$$ for upgrades.
Then she found 'HexEdit 3.0F' which performs very much like UltraEdit only FREE!
Now, there is a version 5.0, but it lacks an install file!
So the link to download takes you to a special instruction page on how to sucessfully install version 5.0.

Author's Home Page (Archived): http://www.hexedit.com/
HexEdit 5.0 was in beta when the author quit. Therefore he never added an install file.
The good news is that Mermy found a work-around to get it installed!

who need an Office Suite, but can't afford MS Office!

NotePad+
1.11
By: RogSoft

This was a perfect replacement for Microsoft's Windows Notepad!
It is what the Notepad program should have been! It allows one to save to HTML format.
NotePad+ is auto scrolling (NO annoying Wordwrap issues).
It has no memory limitations like Windows Notepad!
This is the ultimate workhorse text program for all Windows text documents!

RogSoft NotePad+ works on All Windows Versions
Although Mermy is leaving this here for download, she has discovered
that the resident Notepad in Win 7 is much better than this NotePad+.
Microsoft has come a long way to improve Notepad. Rogsoft Notepad+
corrupts Japanese text, whereas Windows 7 Notepad does not!
So ...whatever!!

Changing “view source” in Firefox and SeaMonkey to use external editor:
In address bar type: about:config
Answer the warning message then proceed to the list.
Scroll down to: view_source.editor.external then double click on it to change the value from false to true.
Now select the next line: view_source.editor.path and add the path to your desired external HTML editor.
Close the program and when you reopen it, you can start using your desired HTML editor when you right click on “View Page Source”!

	Web Browsers
Name	Description	Get It Now
Comments - Rants Opinions - Mermaid's 2-¢ents	There are several browsers one can use for surfing the web! Not all Browsers are created equal! Worse: The worse browser one can use is "Microsoft's Edge"! It is built on Google Chrome's platform, but Microsoft has embedded into it tons of snoop and track scripts! These not only slow your browsing down, but also null and void any privacy one may think they have! An academic study found Microsoft’s Edge browser to be the least private, due to it sending device identifiers and web browsing pages to back-end servers. Microsoft Edge is one of the least private web browsers — even more so than other popular browsers like Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox — according to academic researchers. Bad: Google Chrome is also a tracking and snooping browser! Not as bad as "Edge" but one will notice they get a lot of ads both in the browser and in their e-mail that mirrors their search patterns. While Chrome proves to be a safe web browser, its privacy record is questionable. Google actually collects a disturbingly large amount of data from its users including location, search history and site visits. Good: Mozilla's Firefox is the continuation of "Netscape". Mozilla does not sell any of your web surfing activity to anyone. However, Mermaid has notice that one's web surfing is stored in the browsers cache. Better: SeaMonkey is built on the Mozilla Firefox platform. It is a little more secure than Firefox in that whenever one closes the browser, all web activity history is erased. and again no one at Mozilla is tracking nor selling one's web habits. Best: Tor Browser is also built on Mozilla Firefox platform. It is the most secure browser listed here. In fact it is so private, it may be too much for everyday browsing. It is best used for financial transctions as well as super secure browsing!
Firefox 109.0.1 Win 7-11 Older versions available for WinXP & Vista	The Firefox Browser is the only major browser backed by a not-for-profit (Mozilla) that doesn’t sell your personal data to advertisers while helping you protect your personal information. ...Or so they say, however one has to configure it to delete your history/cache! It certainly is a much more sane choice between Chrome or Edge! Firefox: Homepage: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ FAQs: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/faq/ Windows XP and Vista Users: The "52esr" family [52.9.0esr] is the last release to run on Windows XP and Vista! In order to install Firefox on a Windows XP system, because of Windows restrictions, the user will have to download and install Firefox 43.0.1 and then update to the 52.9.0esr release. - Please note that 64-bit builds of Firefox are only supported on Windows 7 and higher!	32-bit 53.0M 64-bit 55.0M
SeaMonkey 2.53.15 Win 7 - 10 Older versions available for WinXP & Vista	The SeaMonkey project is a community effort to develop the SeaMonkey all-in-one internet application suite. Such a software suite was previously made popular by Netscape and Mozilla, and the SeaMonkey project continues to develop and deliver high-quality updates as well as new features and improvements to this concept. Containing an Internet browser, email & newsgroup client, HTML editor, IRC chat and web development tools, SeaMonkey is sure to appeal to advanced users, web developers and corporate users. SeaMonkey's Home Page: https://www.seamonkey-project.org/ Wikipedia's description: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SeaMonkey Windows XP and Vista Users: SeaMonkey 2.49.5 [32bit] [64bit] was the last release to run on Windows XP and Vista!	32-bit 38.5M 64-bit 41.3M
Tor Browser 12.0.2 Windows 2k, Vista, 7-10 Also available for: OS X Linux Android	Tor Browser uses the Tor network to protect your privacy and anonymity. Using the Tor network has two main properties: 1. Your internet service provider, and anyone watching your connection locally, will not be able to track your internet activity, including the names and addresses of the websites you visit. 2. The operators of the websites and services that you use, and anyone watching them, will see a connection coming from the Tor network instead of your real Internet (IP) address, and will not know who you are unless you explicitly identify yourself. In addition, Tor Browser is designed to prevent websites from “fingerprinting” or identifying you based on your browser configuration. By default, Tor Browser does not keep any browsing history. Cookies are only valid for a single session (until Tor Browser is exited or a New Identity is requested).
