WebFerret
WebFerret is a handy and efficient way to use Web search engines to find information. It adds an entry to the Find option of your Windows 95 Start button, adding the option to find Web pages in addition to the standard files and folders. Enter your search terms, click on Match All Keywords or Match Any Keywords, and WebFerret will use your Internet connection to check several of the more popular search engines (Lycos, Alta Vista, Excite, Hotbot, WebCrawler, Magellan, Infoseek, Yahoo, and Veronica). You can also do more-advanced searches, limiting the number of matches in total or by engine. Once the results are returned, Tooltips give you a little more information about a site. Just double-click to bring up your browser and launch the page.

EmailFerret
EmailFerret allows you to quickly and easily find email addresses on the Internet. It scans eight major search engines based on your entry of first and last names. You can narrow your search somewhat by selecting from some very broad regional choices, but there is no way to pinpoint a location. You can search the entire world or specify the U.S., for example, but that's as narrow as it gets. You can also narrow the search by specifying a domain name. Results return very quickly in a simple list format. Just double-click a result to launch your default email client with the selected address. A Pro version is also available and offers many more options. EmailFerret is fast, easy to use, and best of all -- it's free.

System Requirements
Windows 95, 98, or NT

C-WebMail

This 300K program by C-WebMail allows you to check your Hotmail account with any POP3 compliant mail program (just about anything: Eudora, Netscape Messenger, Outlook). It seems to me that this shakes some pretty serious internet foundations.

Free e-mail services abound: yahoo, Hotmail, bigfoot, geocities and just about anyone else and all their cousins offer them. There's only one catch: you have to use their web interface to read and send your e-mails, putting up with all the advertising they care to throw at you.

However, C-WebMail changes that. On C-WebMail's website, they promote the program as one that allows you to manage your Hotmail account off-line, and save access charges. It offers much more than just that.

In any case, the usage is quite simple. Let the installer run, let some C-Web files sit on your hard drive, and simply use a specific C-Web mail server in your mail client. Essentially, your mail client contacts C-Web, C-Web grabs your mail from Hotmail and presents it to your mail client in the proper format. The Result: free e-mail and your favorite mail client. Brilliant.

I got this one mainly to help simplify things for my mother between her Hotmail account and MS Outlook Express.

ICMP Interceptor 2

ICMP Interceptor 2 is a 32 bit software tool designed for the Windows 95/98 and NT platforms that intercepts and monitors inbound ICMP packets, allowing potential problems to be identified and averted before they impact operations."

In other words, it's a really cool program for those of you who are afraid of being nuked or attacked by others on the Internet. What it does is monitor incoming ICMP packets and reports them to you. It tells you also who the source was.

ICMP Interceptor 2 is a rather small and neat program which sits in your system tray (the place where you clock is). I recommend this program especially to people who have ICQ, use IRC and if you are on a Network. It's useful and totally FREE. So, go ahead and download it, you might like it.

Legion

This program finds Web sites' IP addresses so you can go straight to a file on a server's hard drive--called a "hosts file"--and circumvent your network's DNS. Simply import your Navigator bookmarks or Internet Explorer favorites. The program pings each Web site, looks for the IP address, and enters it into the hosts file.

BoostWeb

Speed up your browsing in Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer. BoostWeb compresses data and images to accelerate the speed you surf the Internet. It reduces the amount of data sent to your browser by using page analysis, optimization, and smart caching. It works with normal dial-up connections, ISDN lines, and any other type of TCP/IP connection.

@Guard

Now you can surf the Web without all those flashing, winking banner ads that suck up bandwidth. The program also blocks cookies, letting you decide whether you want a site to track data about your Web use. Finally, @Guard's firewall feature lets you restrict access by IP address, network port, time period, or application.
