Glancing over my system, the amount of software I have on my system is actually all free stuff. And for once my system is working well without any major hickups or anything being slow, etc

The free software I am using is listed below, in case anyone is interested in obtaining some of it themselves.

Web Browser - Mozilla Firefox - [URL]http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/download.html?http%3A//ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/0.9.3/FirefoxSetup-0.9.3.exe[/URL]

Anti Virus - AVG Anti Virus 6.0

Ad-ware removal tool - Adaware SE
[URL]http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/[/URL]

Music Converter (Music file compressor, etc) - DB Poweramp
[URL]http://www.dbpoweramp.com/[/URL]

Music Playlister - Winamp (approx 65432 times better than Media Player)
[URL]http://www.winamp.com/[/URL]

CD Burner - Burn4free (I paid for Nero and it wouldnt work - this is a charm)
[URL]http://download.burn4free.com/[/URL]

Firewall - Sygate personal firewall (beats Zone Alarm)

Spyware Blaster - Anti-spyware software
Spybot Search & Destroy - ditto
Reg-Cleaner - Windows registry cleaner.
DVD Decypter - Er...
DVD Shrink - Er...
Neotrace Express - IP tracer and mapping tool
Mozilla Firefox - Alternate browser
CD Burner XP - Free burning software and very accomplished
Tight VNC - Best VNC software around.
Trillian Basic - Brings multiple instant messaging programs into one
Motherboard Monitor 5 - Tool for monitoring temperatures and voltages etc on your motherboard
ATI Tool - Used for overclocking ATI graphics cards
Clockgen - Tool for overclocking the FSB of supported motherboards

I'm intrigued, can you perhaps give a little more information before I stick it on my system though?

I've got this, too - but it doesn't strictly DO anything does it. It just finds your systems vitals?

Ah yes, i used the super fast boot up setting and it actually seemed to make a difference.

Freeola & GetDotted are rated 5 Stars

Check out some of our customer reviews below:

The coolest ISP ever!
In my opinion, the ISP is the best I have ever used. They guarantee 'first time connection - everytime', which they have never let me down on.
Impressive control panel
I have to say that I'm impressed with the features available having logged on... Loads of info - excellent.
