Refresher is an automatic refreshing tool with dual browser capability. The dual browser gives a split screen of two web browsers where you can simultaneously surf the web on different web sites.
While using Refresher you can set a refresh level which is where the current web page refreshes at your set time automatically. For example, it may refresh every 30 seconds or every 5 minutes, it is up to you. Refresher is useful for checking sport scores, web mail or the status of an on-line auction. Basically, any web page where the data is constantly changing.
There are also additional features included with Refresher such as a PC Timer to shutdown, logoff or restart the computer, a PC Reminder to alert you at a specific time, a pop-up blocker (to stop annoying pop-up windows), an image blocker (to block unwanted images and load a page quicker), and an I.P. tool (for advanced users).

- It can also be used to automatically refresh your web mail to check if you have any new emails.
