***AntiSpyware Programs***
Adaware Free
the link is on the right side of the page its totaly free and requires updating regular which is in the software package its self.I recommend daily scans
SpyBot Search And Destroy
again Free software..when you install this it may complain that adaware is also installed...ignore this as i my self have never had any problems while runing both applications on one machine.Again i recommend running this daily if you are a heavy surfer.
Microsoft Anti Spyware Beta
ok with this one you MUST have a legal version of windows with a legal CD key for it to function as it requires you download a verification patch to auto confirm this...if it fails you wont be able to get this one.I like this one the most it can protect your startup page from being changed ...it also watches for malware being installed with ACTIVE PROTECTION while you use your pc..and so far has been a great program at catching all sorts of different spyware maleware and even virus programs.
A Squared
this one detects some spyware and trojan horses or R.A.Ts
SpyWare Blaster
ok this one is a little different..it works in a similar way to spybots immunize feature by way of actualy blocking spyware it knows to be dangerous from actually reaching your computer...you simply run it update it then immunize your self...then its safe to close down the program as it will auto protect you from the spyware it has in it database
AvoraxShield
this one is failry simple it will protect some parts of your pc from being modified..im still testing this one out but everything seems to be fine
***ANTIVIRUS***
not going to say a lot about the antivirus software just that they are all free
AVG AntiVirus
Avast Antivirus Home Edition
again its free ...once you download it register and enter your email to receive you free SERIAL key for the program..ive had this one my self and it seems to have a lot of features.
houseCall
this one dosnt stay on your system...but you can go here regulary to run full system scans on your pc if you either need to..or dont trust your current AV software ...it downloads a small pattern file to your system and begins the scan...which by the way takes a while -,-
AntiDote
small lite AV which uses the same anti virus database as the one you pay for
AntiVir Personal edition Classic
more free antivirus with free support too
VCatch
F-Prot (free for linux FREEBsd and dos)
not that anyones running it but you never know
Symantec Scanner
again you dont install a program as such...but it runs some good virus and security scan on your computer through internet explorer
***Multi Anti Virus Scan***
These are links to those scanners you see people scanning files with on here...i cant say they are fullproof but here are the links so instead of yelling SCAN SCAN you can do it your self
and here is the e*pvp users world famous!!!!!!!!! JOTTI!!
***FIREWALLS***
nothing to say about them except take your pick..all free
Kerio free firewall
Omniquad
OutPost Firewall
Sygate
Zone Alarm
***TEST YOUR FIREWALL***
***MOZILLA BROWSER***
i forgot to add this its a great fast little browser much much better then IE in my oppinion
this is a free test and you can either check all your ports or just the most common ones...also have a browse on this site your self for other things this man has been around for time and has been hacking(for the good of protection) scince he was 14 years old
As always make sure your PC is upto date
again you must have a legal version of windows XP to do this as it will require a validation test to be performed on your PC before it will let you apply these updates.Hope this helps somewhat...i will update with more and ill be happy to help anyone who needs it with the removal of some awkward malware or spyware if the need arrises just drop me a pm ..hope this helps and adds to the ever growing community Peace
