If you are working on a lab computer, or have limited space available on your hard drive, a Free Online HTML Editor certainly appeals to you. Many of these new innovative web applications have just as much power and as many features as an old desktop based HTML editor, but can be done from your web browser. There is a Free Online HTML Editor available for your needs whether you are looking for a traditional text based application or a "What You See Is What You Get" (WYSIWYG) application. If you are looking for a text based free online HTML Editor, among the options available to you is the SquareFree Real-Time HTML editor.
This simple web page allows you to see what your finished HTML code will look like in a box below your code in real time. If you still would like the ability to "get under the hood" of the HTML but would like a little bit more added features you have the "HTML Generator" offered by HyperGurl which will fill in some of the HTML coding for you and is ideal for simple pages. WYSIWYG is where the Free Online HTML Editor concept really shines though. Among the options available to you in this category include Online HTML Editor, WysiwygPro, Editlet, Ephox, eWebEditor, and more. All of these programs have their own requirements, browser compatibilities, and of course unique features.
However, it should be noted that sadly not all of those are entirely free; which, of course, is what you are here for. They were included merely so that you see what your options are. You can use free demos of all of these programs before you are required to buy. One web based WYSIWYG editor in the list that is free though is Online HTML Editor. Online HTML Editor was developed in Germany but offers an English version. The menu bears a strong resemblance to classic word processors and is simple for anyone to use who is familiar with office or HTML software. When you are finished with a file your simply click "Save file now" and download your finished file from the Online HTML Editor server.
This list is definitely not exhaustive, it would have to be much longer (and more boring to read) if it were. You can find other Free Online HTML Editor programs on the net, but before you go looking I strongly suggest you try one of the move products. Good luck with your HTML editing.

Computer Problems Tips - The 3 Levels of Spyware - Do You Still Control Your Computer? By Chancer Reese
"The only difference between the fool, and the criminal who attacks a system is that the fool attacks unpredictably and on a broader front." (Tom Gilb)
It doesn't matter if your computer is compromised by professional villains or just by the geeky kid across the street, once your sensitive files have been broken into your life may never be the same. Spyware is one of the most unrated forms of "espionage" occurring in the world today.
Most computer users think of this kind of program as a being just as an annoying or embarrassing kind of prank. But criminal-minded programmers know better.
In the past, spyware and its close cousin adware were simply wicked bits of "paid advertisements" for shady website publishers to attract customers. But soon, more malicious coders determined to use these programs to really "spy" on innocent people and dig out as many of their victim's secrets to use or sell on the black market as possible.
These new programs are being crafted by "professional" development teams just like a "real" software company. The programs are sophisticated and slick.
At its most innocent level, these spy packages just track your browsing habits (where you go and what you do on the web). Your email addresses are also raided. This information is then sold to websites for advertising.
At an intermediate level, a "keystroke" logger (a program that observes and records what you type on your keyboard) can be used in combination with web-tracking software to dig out the keywords, passwords and usernames you use when visiting sites such as eBay, PayPal and your bank.
The final level is in which spyware has completely overwhelmed your computer and all your sensitive information is laid-bare to any prying eyes that want to view it. Your ID/SSN numbers, your home address, personal photographs, your banking or other financial information is dug out and sold to the highest bidder.
This is then used to create everything from fake driver's licenses for teenagers, terrorists, and illegals to making dupe credit cards used to run up charges under your name. Your "identity" has been stolen and compromised for years to come.
Your computer can be turned into a "zombie" and thousands and thousands of fake emails could be sent through your connection to the Internet. This will result in your ISP (Internet Service Provider) taking action and limiting or shutting down your account. And with unpaid charges bouncing about your credit card report will soon be in a shambles as well.
What you should do now to lock down your PC...
Download from the Net or buy a good anti-spyware software package. For free try Ad-Aware or SpyBot's S&D. Or use SpySweeper if you need an industrial strength cleaner.
Scan your hard drive and follow any instructions on removing items.
Install a good personal firewall program to slow down pop-ups and other nastiness.
Password protect any personal folders where sensitive documents, photos, etc are stored.
Download and install a password storage program like "Password Safe" to securely store your usernames and passcodes.
Use strong passwords.
Change passwords every 6 months for your bank, eBay, PayPal and other financial institutions.

Computer Problem Tips - 10 Spyware Warning Signs - Are You Infected? By Chancer Reese
It's been estimated that over 60% of all computers have some kind of spyware installed and most of their owners are unaware! If you are tired of your PC running slow and filling your screen with those nasty pop-up then you will want to read the 10 warning signs listed below. Afterwards check out my "action plan" and what you can do to rid yourself of your spyware infestation.
1. Browser Hijacks - When I used to get a call from a customer saying that their homepage had suddenly changed, without them doing anything, I knew to bring my anti-spyware fighting software. Malicious programmers love to change your browser settings to transfer your homepage to their "client's" websites.
2. PC is Crashing - Without warning, your PC starts crashing, freezing or locking up, but you haven't added any new software or updated anything recently.
3. Pop-Ups - You open your browser to visit your favorite blog site then "WHAM!" You are suddenly drowning in pop-ups! Your screen is full of brightly colored lures to porn, gambling or gaming websites. You click on the "Close" or the "X" to shut it down...uh, oh something is downloading to your machine!
4. Strange Favorites - You notice that there is a strange looking icon in your favorites. You click on it out of curiosity. You are caught in a webring of girly webpages...drat it, you're at work!
5. Strange Icon on Desktop or in Systray - You know notice a "winking" red light on the bottom-right in your Systray display. It says you have been infected. You hurriedly click on it to see what is wrong. Then a pop-up appears that says it is downloading an "anti-virus killer"...uh, oh.
6. Strange New Files Appear - You are poking about in your files and you notice that some odd, spyware-killer software has a folder on your hard drive. Where did that one come from?
7. Strange Emails - While searching for a note you dropped to the boss, you notice that you have lots of strange emails in your "Send" folder. You didn't send them, especially the ones in a foreign language.
8. Strange Toolbars - You open up your browser and now you have 3 toolbars instead of just one. What gives? When you try to remove, or change the settings, they keep coming back no matter what you do.
9. PC runs sluggish or slow - Granted your computer may not be the newest kid on the block but lately it has been moving slower than the Street Dept fixing a pothole. It takes several minutes for it logon and go out on the web. And it takes forever for you do to the simplest things anymore.
10. Hard Drive is running all the time - You have noticed that your hard drive is running all the time now. Even when nobody is on the machine! You can see the activity light blinking away and you can also hear the drive being accessed. Huh?
Action Plan - What to do next...
Download from the Net or buy a good anti-spyware software package. For free try Ad-Aware or SpyBot's S&D. Or use SpySweeper if you need an industrial strength cleaner.
Scan your hard drive and follow any instructions on removing items.
Install a good personal firewall program to slow down pop-ups and other nastiness.
