		<description>Ok just a quick addon - everyone knows of Adobe pdf reader
have you really looked at how big or how much is installed on your system ?
well its over 250mb - now what will shock you is a pdf reader that is only 4mb big and does EVERYTHING adobe crap does
its called  Fox-it PDF Reader

you can download it here:     http://www.foxitsoftware.com/downloads/
freeware version available here:    http://mirrors.foxitsoftware.com/pub/foxit/reader/desktop/win/3.x/3.0/enu/FoxitReader30_enu_Setup.exe

Foxit Reader is the only eligible alternative reader/viewer for PDF files (eBooks). It&#039;s free, smaller, faster, and cleaner. And it starts up immediately, so you don&#039;t need to wait the annoying &quot;Welcome&quot; screen to disappear. Foxit PDF Reader is extremely easy to use, just double click it to start and then click open button to open your PDF document. If you want to print, click on &quot;Print&quot; button. If you want to setup the page layout for printing, select &quot;Print Setup&quot; from &quot;File&quot; menu. Foxit Reader supports Windows 98/ Me/ 2000/ XP/ 2003/ Vista.

hope this helps</description>

		<description>OK here is a few more things that are worth using to make your computer better

1.   YourFonts: -  Create your own handwritten fonts and use them for emails and artwork  (free):    http://www.yourfonts.com

2.   Folder2MyPC: -  By help of this utility you can add any folders and programs in &quot; My computer &quot; and &quot;Control panel&quot;    (free):  http://eng.softq.org/Folder2mypc

3.   Answer IM: -  is an online service which helps you to solve this problem with ease.    Using this service you send an automatic predefined message when you aren’t signed into the instant messenger or you’re away from Internet.   The message may be in the form of a link, text or even a phone number.   This service is currently applicable to Gtalk, Yahoo, AIM, MSN and ICQ......  (free):  http://answer.im

4.   Empathy:  -   Software Password Protects Windows Applications,   This piece of software is designed for those of you with a tendency to keep a close eye on computer security since it allows you to block access to certain software programs that you have installed on your Windows OS, be it XP or Vista. The thing is that if you have XP Pro, Vista Business or Vista Ultimate, you could put your programming skills to the test and attain the same goal by using secpol.msc. But I am sure many of you will appreciate a tool that is effective and very simple to use.  (free)   http://www.findmysoft.com/news/Empathy-Software-Password-Protects-Windows-Applications/

Well this is what I have been using and works well</description>
