Utilities ...
Welcome to WhigWham's
recommended "Utilities" section. Here you will find
a brief list of handy, time-saving and essential little Freeware/Shareware
applications to install on your computer, most of which are
available for download directly from our web server!
Many of these applications
are currently running on WhigWham's own internal networks, so
we vouch for their usefulness - perhaps you could find them
equally as useful on your own system.
All care has been taken
by WhigWham to properly credit the owners of these applications,
however if any errors are found please take the time to contact
us at "support@whigwham.com".
And the categories are ...
Our
Recommended Applications. |
abSee
Fontviewer.
abSee is a nifty little "freeware"
application by BlueHeronMoon.com
that enables you to easily view and compare
the installed fonts on your system. It has a
few other cool additional features, but we like
it because it is small, it works, and it is
FREE! |
 |
EditPad
Lite .
EditPad Lite is a general-purpose text editor
that works with Windows 95, NT4, 98, 2000, ME
and XP. It is designed to be small and compact,
yet offer all the functionality you expect from
a basic text editor.
Replace the "Notepad" used on your
Microsoft system with this and you won't be
disappointed! It can handle multiple documents
via a "tabbed" interface, and has
excellent search/replace functionality - we
use and recommend this program for anyone who
works with anything other than MS Word documents. |
 |
PowerArchiver.
The "Ultimate Freeware Archive Utility"
for Windows 95/98/NT/2000. Full, built-in support
(create archive, add/extract/delete/view files)
for ZIP, CAB, LHA, LZH, TAR, TAR.GZ and BH (BlakHole)
archives. Can read and extract from RAR, ARJ,
ACE, ARC, ZOO and GZip archives. Many more powerful
and practical features.
Having been one of our favourite freeware programs
for the last few years, the latest version of
powerarchiver has now become "shareware".
It still works just as well, though. Most of
it's functions are accessed within the "right-click"
menu for any file you wish to extract/compact.
Forget WinZip - try this out! |
 |
Auto-run
HTML CD Utility.
We are unsure where we initially obtained this
utility, but we find it invaluable to create
CD-based presentations that "auto-run"
when you insert the disk. If you have a CD-R
burner and would like to use these utilities,
it is as simple as placing the extracted files
into the root folder of your CD image along
with your introductory web page or website.
Then simply edit the "showhtml.ini"
file in any text editor and change the file
name to that of your own page and burn your
CD - it is that simple! |

Security
& Network Applications. |
Ad-Aware.
AD-aware is a FREE multi-spyware removal tool
that detects and safely removes advertising
spyware from your system. AD-aware now includes
the detection and removal of Web3000, Gator,
Cydoor, RadiateAureate, ConducentTimeSink and
CometCursor, and with the latest version you
can scan all drives, even customising the scanning
depth.
But what is "Spyware", I hear you
ask. Well it is a topic of major interest on
the Internet recently. Basically, are you aware
that many of the programs you install will also
install a background little application that
will send your personal information to them,
even when you are not using that program! Popular
applications that have been implicated include
Gator and RealPlayer. For the latest
information and a complete explanation on the
subject, WhigWham recommends a visit to Steve
Gibson's Optout
homepage.
This version is v5.56 - to get the this version
use the program's icon above, the "Download
here" icon to the right, or click HERE. |
 |
Bulletproof
FTP.
BPFTP is one of the best FTP file transfer utilities
available. It is capable of reconnecting and
resuming interrupted file transfers at any time.
Please note that this is a "shareware"
program.
The latest version is v1.21 - to download this
version use the program's icon above, the "Get
it off the Net" icon to the right, or click
HERE
to visit the program's homepage. |
 |
ZoneAlarm.
Brought to you by ZoneLabs, ZoneAlarm
is a freeware "firewall" utility that
is extremely easy to install (just follow the
excellent included instructions). A "firewall"
is a hardware/software utility that provides
an impenetrable barrier between your computer
network and the Internet. The unique technologies
utilised by ZoneLabs in this program has resulted
in this being consistently one of the best-performing
firewalls available - did we mention it is FREE?
Click either the link to the right or on the
program's icon above to go the ZoneAlarm homepage.
Don't wait until it is too late - protect your
computer and your data now! |

System
Updates & "Plug-ins". |
The
Macromedia Flash Installer.
WhigWham recommends that you ensure you have
a version of the Flash player installed, as
the format is becoming increasingly prevalent
across the Internet. If you have the plugin
installed already (and most later browsers do),
you will be able to see a line of animated flash
text here:
We have version 5 of the Flash installer available
for download directly using the link to the
right, however if you are currently online we
recommend that you obtain the latest version
of this installation package from here. |
 |
The
Adobe Acrobat (*.pdf) Viewer.
Adobe Acrobat is a standardised format to produce
high-quality, read-only documents and brochures.
This is the plug-in required to view these files
only. Please download the latest version using
the link to the right. |
