Bill D,

I am compiling a list of shareware and free programs for a friend who is bailing from using Norton Internet Security, and who has a problem with housemates using his computer and changing programs and adding junk.

I have recommended Kerio and AVG and Spybot Search&Destroy. I use AdAware, and seem to be doing okay with the new release, though it can be kind of slow. They no longer support the older SE version.

I did a search for your Proxomitron, and found some indications that it hasn't been updated for several years. Is this one like Kerio that basically works well without the upgrades? One Geocities site says it is dead now. What do you know about that? And how much tweaking is needed to get this up and running? Does it run on all browsers?

I've also sent him information about WinPatrol, and I'm about to load that one in my computer. I think this is the one that will help with the other users (I told him he also needs to change his password so they don't log on as him, as they have been doing, and give them diminished user account.)
