I found QuickMark and I-nigma. Both work well except I cannot scan standard barcodes like what Americans see on a cereal box (Which is what I am guess we are looking for here?). These prgrams scan 2d bar codes.
P.S. I have really no idea what I am doing. I do not know the real difference between standard bar codes and 2d barcodes other than I have never seen a 2d barcode on anything I have ever bought. I was curious about a bar code scanning program but never bothered to look around for one. I don't think these are what everyone is looking for though.
