Microsoft has released several freebies to help your computing life.
Windows Defender is Microsoft’s answer to spyware/malware. It is one of the best and is free! If you do not already have a solution for removing spyware, or dont even know what spyware is, I highly suggest downloading and installing Windows Defender.
Windows Media PLayer 11 is the latest and greatest of Microsoft’s Windows Media Player. If you are still running the old outdated media player 9, then you should upgrade to 11. Too many new features to list. Those of you on media player 10 probably won’t notice too much different.
SyncToy is a nifty tool for synchronizing folders between your computer and a different computer or external HD or even a network share.
Windows One Care is Microsoft’s answer to the ever popular Norton and McAfee. It's still in beta, but worth the download if you do not have antivirus and spyware protection.
Of course let’s not forget Internet Explorer 7. As mentioned below, IE7 provides a far superior internet experience than any of Microsoft previous browsers. Get it.
Happily downloading new software....TMS
