Once again, it's time for me to publish a few of the e-mails that have arrived in my inbox this week.Mozilla is becoming well known for its Firefox browser and Thunderbird e-mail client, but its Sunbird calendar is less well known. Put simply, it is a clone of the calendar in Microsoft Office but it is completely free and worth a look for anyone who wants an office calendar program without the expense of buying Microsoft Office.Ian MacMillan, by E-mailWell spotted Ian. Despite being free of charge and still in the early stages of its development, Mozilla Sunbird is a worthy download for people in need of a simple to use calendar application for their PC without having to purchase Microsoft Office.The idea of the calendar will be for it to work across multiple platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux etc) as it works using the XUL user interface language provided by a number of applications such as Mozilla Firefox. As a result of this interdependency you will be required to have one of the free programs from the Mozilla suite installed such as Firefox or Thunderbird which I have reviewed before in the past.To download the Mozilla Calendar just go to www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/ and if you don't already have Firefox head to www.mozilla.org - Both downloads are extremely small and free of charge.If you are interested in the other projects that our friends at Mozilla are working on then take a minute to visit http://www.mozilla.org/projects/ - In all honesty a lot of their other creations and projects may not be of interest to the typical computer user as most of it is for developers but there are certainly a limited amount of applications to browse.Having downloaded AVG Anti-Virus as suggested in one of your previous articles I am now getting lots of pop up ads when visiting a site - Should this be happening?Andrea Winnchild, by E-mailOne thing that you should have learnt from me by now is that I'll never recommend that you download a program that will also expose the user to pop-up adverts and Spyware.This problem is most likely being caused by a piece of devious Ad or Spyware that has snuck onto your machine and it is simply a coincidence that it was installed at roughly the same time as good old AVG free. To sort out the issue I recommend visiting the Microsoft (www.microsoft.com) website and download their own Anti-Spyware utility or download Spybot Search and Destroy (http://security.kolla.de) which are both great little apps to get rid of such annoyances on your system. For more information on these programs head over to the Computer Articles website and take a look at one of my many articles on the topic.While on the subject of removing unwanted trash from your computer I may as well mention the CCleaner utility I covered a few weeks back that is made to remove outdated files and registry entries from your system has been redesigned and fully updated. This is certainly a worthwhile application for most users who wish to clean up their system which can be downloaded free of charge by heading to www.ccleaner.com. Once again, a full review is available at www.computerarticles.co.uk.
