Animated States and Capitals
By Flix Productions
Learn the U.S. states and capitals in a fun (and funny) way. A full screen clickable map of the U.S. is used to teach names and locations of states and capitals in a variety of ways. When the student completes ten problems they are rewarding with a silly animation using 3D graphics. The tutorial section helps the student learn where states are on a map and which capitals go with which states. The learn the states section lets the student see the state on the map and click on it''s name, or click on a state when they are presented with the name. There are multiple levels of difficulty and the student can work using all the states or just western, central or eastern regions. As the mouse is rolled over the U.S. map the states highlight to aid in selection. The learn the capitals section lets the student see the state name and choose it''s capital, see the capital name and choose it''s state, or see a state on the map and click on the name of it''s capital. The last option can be very difficult and is ideal for mastery skills. This section has 15 different learning variations. The capitals section of the program is available in the registered version of the program.

Spam Eliminator
By C Point
Junk all your junk mail - automatically, while letting your legitimate mail in. Spam Eliminator is an intelligent plug-in: it gives you great protection from spam and ensures you receive all genuine messages by using the combination of filtering and performing fast content analysis: - Matching of messages against the spam database for quick elimination. All messages known to be spam are instantly identified and marked. - Keyword scanning - in the message headers and body. The program recognizes the keywords and key-phrases that spammers typically use - including frequent and deliberate misspellings. - Domain scanning. Messages originating at domains known for spamming are pinpointed instantly. - Internal banned list. Any messages you place on the banned list will be recognized as spam in all subsequent mailings. - Internal safe list. All messages on the safe list are reliably delivered. - Identifying spam is not exact science - so Spam Eliminator calculates probabilities for optimal results and assigns a number to each message. Messages over the threshold are marked as spam.
