We are starting out with just one program, and hope to add many other free programs in weeks to come.

These programs are tested to be OK to install in the home computer you received through the Fairfax County CNCP program.

If you have any questions, want help installing a program, or if you have any trouble with your computer, you are welcome to call our help telephone line 703-662-3002. Call any time. If we cannot answer, please leave a message with your name and number, and we will try to call you back within 24 hours.
