Software

This Week's Discovery

The developers of SiteAdvisor explain what it is about:

While traditional security companies had gotten relatively good at addressing technical threats like viruses, they were failing to prevent a new breed of "social engineering" tricks like spyware infections, identity theft scams, and sites which send excessive e-mail.

To address this challenge, we built a system of automated testers which continually patrol the Web to browse sites, download files, and enter information on sign-up forms. We document all these results and supplement them with feedback from our users, comments from Web site owners, and analysis from our own employees.

Our easy to use software for Internet Explorer and Firefox summarizes our safety results into intuitive red, yellow and green ratings to help Web users stay safe as they search, browse and transact online.

I love software, I love legacy software and I love free software.

This is a Java based HTML editor that is Freeware or as the programmer who wrote it refers to it Care Ware. You need to have the Sun Java Runtime 1.4 or better installed, but it is a sweet program. It's worth going to the Arachnophilia Home Page just to be exposed to Mr. Lutus' philosophy about software and the internet. Check out his
