Foxit Reader 2.0 is a free PDF document viewer and printer, with incredible small size (only 1.5 M download size), breezing-fast launch speed and amazingly rich feature set.

Though the price is the same ($0), Foxit is much faster than Adobe on my computer and even worked with my “virtual paychecks”! (The latest version of Adobe Reader doesn’t.)

I highly recommend Foxit for those with a little computer savvy.

Let the novice beware, though: I had a little difficulty finding the right link to select to get the free version, and to set it up, I had to change the default settings for PDFs in two different places, My Computer and Firefox.

This free extension for Firefox (and Internet Explorer) is fabulous! From the site:

“SiteAdvisor’s automated testers continually patrol the Web to browse sites, download files, and sign-up on sites with e-mail addresses.

For someone (like me) who frequently searches for lyrics and other information that may be on suspect websites, this is a must have! Get it here.
