Sidebar Gadgets

I know that gadgets are frowned upon these days but I liked mine.
As the Microsoft gadgets are vulnerable to hacking, I wonder if there are any similar out there which are safe?
I particularly like the currency and the weather ones.

Thanks Buenchico.
However the currency app doesn't seem to work with Windows 7

This might be worth a try:

(If the OS is shown as Windows XP, as it is when I view that page, don't worry because it also works with Windows 7. Click the 'i' button for confirmation of that)
