Spybot Search and Destroy Detection Update 10.27.2006

Spybot - Search and Destroy Updater will allow you to update your Spybot S&D detections without the need for the included WebUpdate.
Spybot - Search & Destroy can detect and remove spyware of different kinds from your computer. Spyware is a relatively new kind of threat that common anti-virus applications do not yet cover. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you didn't intentionally install, if your browser crashes, or if you browser start page has changed without your knowing, you most probably have spyware. But even if you don't see anything, you may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging that is silently tracking your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile of you that will be sold to advertisement companies.Spybot Search and Destroy is free, so there's no harm in trying to see if something snooped into your computer.

iPod -> Folder (Windows/Mac)


Windows and Mac OS X only: Freeware program iPod -> Folder allows users a super-simple way to do a full backup of their iPod on any Mac or Windows computer.
iPod -> Folder is a nice standout both for its simplicity and it's Windows and Mac versions. The downside is that iPod -> Folder doesn't allow you to selectively backup music, so it's an all-or-nothing affair. That said, this is a great little app to download and stick on your iPod so you can easily "back up" your music at any computer.
