Yahoo Instant Messenger 8.1.0.421 (full standalone installation) – compatible with Windows Vista

Description
As the name suggests, Yahoo Instant Messenger is an instant messaging program that lets you send instant messages, pictures and files to other users. Yahoo Instant Messenger also lets you enjoy free PC to PC calls around the world. All you and your friends need is Messenger and a microphone and speakers. If you or your contacts are not online or away from the computer, you can leave a voicemail message. Just like a normal phone you can check your Call History to see all incoming, outgoing and missed calls.

The Contact Cards pop-up when you mouse-over someone’s name on your Messenger List. They give contact info and a quick way to connect. Plus you can custom ringtones so you can choose the sound you hear when someone calls your PC. You can even assign special ringtones for different people.

It’s hard to find the information, but according to Yahoo, from version 8.1, Yahoo Messenger is supported by Windows Vista.

AI Roboform 6.9.88 (free version)

Description
AI Roboform 6 is a password manager and security assistant for Web pages. As you visit more pages across the Web, they continually ask for user IDs, passwords, e-mail addresses and other information. Keeping track of all this can become a problem and some people end up using the same password and user IDs for all sites. The trouble is that this can create a security problem. If someone finds out this combination, then they can get access to all your accounts. On a less sinister note, filling out forms is tedious and Internet Explorer’s AutoComplete has its problems. Many times it retains information you don’t want, and then it seems to forget certain entries (this is due to a quirk with the way fields are labelled on sites).

RoboForm takes care of these problems by securely storing and managing the information for you. It is less than 3MB to download and best of all, there is a free version for non-profit/personal use (there is no adware or spyware). It also allows to easily view, edit, copy, rename and delete your passwords in one simple location. When you first install Roboform, it will have all the features of Pro available for 30 days, it will then become the free light version. RoboForm has an option to upgrade to the Pro version, but try the free version first – it may have everything you need.
