Hi, I'm new here . I don't want to break any rules but there is some new eBay software my husband has just made and he has a free version available.

Would it be ok to post a link to the website here?

Thanks

Scribus isn't yet available for Windows, although it is being ported. You could always try it on a Linux live CD, or go the whole hog, make your computer dual-boot, and break your ties to Microsoft!

I don't think it's guaranteed stable, but it is available for windows, has been for a few months IIRC...

You can get the free version of SearchBee (search software for eBay) here. It has less features than the full version, but it is free

Thanks

Blue Security offer their Blue Frog anti-spam software free to home and home-office users.

After you have downloaded and registered with Blue Security, the Blue Frog works in two ways. Firstly, by registering, you are added to their 'Do Not Intrude' list, which works like the telephone preference service, so that legitimate spammers (if there is such a thing) know not to send you any spam. Secondly, if you do receive any spam, you can report it to Blue Security by clicking on the Blue Frog link that sits in your tool bar and forwarding the spam to them. The spam is then analysed and, if they agree that it is spam, e-mails are then sent to the hosting ISPs, law enforcement agencies and other similar organisations. Eventually, you should start receiving less spam.

I've only had the software for a week now and haven't yet noticed a decrease in the volume of spam, but it's really nice to be able to report the spam to somebody who is trying to do something about it for you.

You can download the Blue Frog from here and read more about it here. There are different ways of reporting your spam according to what type of e-mail you get and what type of e-mail client you use, but full details of how are contained in their FAQs (registered users only for this page).
