cutepdf writer

PDF is the de facto standard for the secure and reliable distribution and exchange of electronic documents and forms around the world

CutePDF Writer (formerly CutePDF Printer) is the free version of commercial PDF creation software and is installed as a 'printer subsystem', which enables virtually any 'printable' Windows application to create professional PDF documents with ease

• Free for personal and commercial use
• No watermarks
• No Popup Web Ads

please note:

We do not whole-heartedly recommend the CutePDF Writer Companion bundled with WhenU Save, which - although not spyware - seems to slow things down a bit

the gimp

GIMP is the GNU Image Manipulation Program - a freely distributed piece of software for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition and image authoring.

The official GIMP web site contains information about downloading, installing, using, and enhancing it - the GIMP community and related projects

Hopefully you will find what you need there

Grab a properly chilled beverage and enjoy

CAUTION

HijackThis is an advanced tool that requires an in-depth knowledge of Windows and operating systems in general

If your browser or computer is still having problems after running a spyware and/or hijacker remover, HijackThis can be used to list the contents of key areas of the registry and hard drive - areas that are used by both legitimate programmers and hijackers

If you delete items that it identifies as spyware, without knowing precisely what they are, it can create more problems than it solves!

Luckily, the Internet is home to all kinds of helpful experts who

• provide tutorials on how to use HiJackThis
• decipher the log file it generates
• and advise you on what to fix - and what to leave alone!
