A FEATURE that attracts many to the Net is the availability of a number of free programs that help them enhance their productivity in many ways. In fact some analysts view this aspect of the Net as a challenge to concepts such as 'no free lunch', which means nothing of value should be free.

Some of these programs - apart from providing their publicised services - have their own 'hidden agenda' and operate in the background according to a script written to fulfil this secret agenda.
