In Sunday's newspaper column TechMan recommended two free security programs, ZoneAlarm and SpyBot.
He told readers to Google them. That was a mistake.
Two readers wrote in saying they were asked to pay for these programs. What probably happened was that they went to the site where enhanced programs that are not free are advertised on the home page and the free download is sort of buried on another page.

To provide some clarity, here are the links to the free downloads:
ZoneAlarm and Spybot S&D
Sorry for anyone who was misled.
