Free Blindness Software

The vOICe Learning Edition by The vOICe (CTO Peter B.L. Meijer)

The vOICe seeing-with-sound software translates images from a PC camera (webcam) into sounds that you hear via your stereo headphones, thus targetting vision substitution applications for the totally blind, and even synthetic vision. Some blind people wear it daily with a wearable setup to "see" their environment as they go around, while other blind people (blind from birth) use it to experience for the very first time what vision is like.

Messenger Popup Blocker Free Edition by Small Business Services

Messenger is a service that comes with Windows XP, NT, and 2000. Advertisers have taken advantage of this by sending ads over this service. Messenger Pop-up Blocker is a free program that blocks 'messenger pop-ups' from appearing on your desktop. It does not block other pop-up ads while surfing the Internet. Messenger Popup Blocker does not in any way disable you from instant messaging (AIM, MSN Messenger, ICQ).
