QUOTE(harshalshah5 @ Mar 8 2006, 04:34 AM)  anybody heard of spydoctor and registry mechanic?? these are good ones i use personally. now spydoctor always detects download accelerator as spyware so don't panic and dont remove it because the free dap comes with ads which is obviosuly detected as spyware, but it is safe.. cheers harshal shah I've search for Spyware-Doctor and goggle brought me to this site. http://www.pctools.com/spyware-doctor/ According to this site, Spyware-Doctor is not a free software. However looking at its tons of awards, I believe its really a good software. Too bad it isn't free to add on to this list. Similarly, Registry Mechanic appeared to be developed from the same company as Spyware-Doctor. Unfortunately, it is not a free software as well. Thanks for that introduction of those tools. |

I'm not sure if it fits here, but CCleaner (Crap Cleaner) is a great little tool which sits in your Recycle Bin and clears up the cache, temporary files etc. It also allows you to sift through all the programs that run on startup (and I've managed to kill spyware that was slowing my startup through it).

Thanks to those who has contributed in this list.
I've actually found more free tools to add on. One of my favorite application is CompuSec, which provides whatever means of protection that is called security, for free. It's rather professional and could be a paid software for probably a thousand bucks or more. But they are distributing free. It includes encryption to single file, multiple files, and even the entire harddisk. Besides data on your harddisk gets encrypted, even your voice calls on the internet also gets encrypted. So Skype users are now safe at mind while chatting with their faraway friends or family members. My favorate feature is the pre-boot security clearance. It's whereby you will need to key in your password before Windows starts to boot. Yes, it's all done before you even see the Windows XP loading logo. That so called, security clearance, ask for your password before even anything starts to load. How secure..! I lovin' it.  Try and you will know why.QUOTE Free Anti-Virus AVG Free : http://free.grisoft.com/ avast! 4 Home Edition : http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic : http://www.free-av.com/ ClamWin : http://www.clamwin.com/ BitDefender : http://www.bitdefender.com/site/Main/view/...e-Products.html Free Firewall ZoneAlarm : http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/comp...reeDownload.jsp GhostWall : http://www.ghostsecurity.com/index.php?page=ghostwall Outpost Firewall : http://www.agnitum.com/products/outpostfree/download.php SoftPerfect Personal Firewall : http://www.softperfect.com/products/firewall/ Primedius Firewall Lite : http://www.primedius.com/PersonalFirewall.htm Sunbelt Kerio Personal Firewall : http://www.sunbelt-software.com/Kerio-Download.cfm (Sunbelt Kerio Personal Firewall will keep on working after the first 30 days, only in a more limited mode, but free!)

For Privacy software, how about Secretmaker. I've used it before and it's pretty efficient at what it does. It basically works like CCleaner, but it blocks other things, and can even get rid of flash adverts

QUOTE One of my favorite application is CompuSec, which provides whatever means of protection that is called security, for free. And they have a Linux version too! This is sweet!  I can't believe this is free... Thanks for the list, you guys~ I've been planning on setting up my home server to host the files in my website, and I couldn't go to war without any sufficient protection!
