| Neutron (P) | YES | YES | Neutron is a very simple and small time synchronizing program that retrieves the accurate time from one of several specialized time servers on the Internet. Once the network time has been retrieved the program can set your computer's clock to match it. Options in the program enable you to automatically obtain the time from the time server and set your clock appropriately at program startup. It is also possible to have the program automatically exit after the time has been set and so it is ideal for placing a shortcut in your Startup folder to sync your clock when your computer is started. |
| OpenDNS | YES | YES | OpenDNS is a free service that aims to improve the reliability, performance, and functionality of the plain-vanilla DNS service your ISP already provides. OpenDNS automatically protects you from accessing malicious sites that try to steal your personal information or money. With a free OpenDNS account there are even more advantages(you must have a network). Simply change your Internet connection setting to use OpenDNS’s DNS servers: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220, and you are using OpenDNS. Experiencing problems with your ISP's DNS server? Use this as a reliable replacement for Slow ISP DNS Servers. |
