Protect Your Computer [Resources]

M-3THUG · 08-11-2006, 02:34 AM

Intro To Topic
I'm in need of spyware protection and I'm sure somebody else here can use it too; so I thought it might be useful to give people somewhere to get the software they need to protect thier computer.

Rules
Since DaTorrents may not promote illegal programs, I suggest you post programs that are legal; also please make sure the program is not spyware or a virus. One more thing is when you post a link please say which category it may go in. Any forum member and even myself, will go through every link ourselves because we have better things to do.

In Case You Did Not Catch That
1. Legal programs only.
2. Make sure the program is not a virus or spyware.
3. Post the appropriate category the program belongs in.[Free/Non Free]
(Please Suggest More Rules)

Note To Staff
While adding another program to the list, please use this format. The reasion for this is, the more orginised the list is, the easier it is to read.
Thanks.

Anti Spyware
SpywareBlaster
The most important step you can take is to secure your system. And SpywareBlaster is the most powerful protection program available.
Prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted software.
Block spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Explorer and Mozilla/Firefox.
Restrict the actions of potentially unwanted sites in Internet Explorer.

CCleaner
CCleaner is a freeware system optimization and privacy tool. It removes unused files from your system - allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space. It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history. But the best part is that it's fast (normally taking less that a second to run) and contains NO Spyware or Adware!

Windows One Care Live(beta)
This PC care service is always on, running quietly in the background. It helps give you round-the-clock protection and maintenance—virus scanning, firewalls, tune ups, file backups, the whole nine yards. Delivered to you in a smooth, hassle-free package.

Windows Defender
Windows Defender (Beta 2) is a free program that helps protect your computer against pop-ups, slow performance, and security threats caused by spyware and other unwanted software. It features Real-Time Protection, a monitoring system that recommends actions against spyware when it's detected, and a new streamlined interface that minimizes interruptions and helps you stay productive.

Spybot
Spybot - Search & Destroy can detect and remove spyware of different kinds from your computer. Spyware is a relatively new kind of threat that common anti-virus applications do not yet cover. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you didn't intentionally install, if your browser crashes, or if you browser start page has changed without your knowing, you most probably have spyware. But even if you don't see anything, you may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging that is silently tracking your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile of you that will be sold to advertisement companies. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm in trying to see if something snooped into your computer, too

Lavasoft's Adaware SE Personal
Ad-Aware Personal provides advanced protection from known data-mining, aggressive advertising, Trojans, dialers, malware, browser hijackers, and tracking components. This software is downloadable free of charge.

Spyware Quake
Spyware Quake is a new nasty that you need to be mindful of – this installed by VCodec External Link Trojan and through browser exploits. This is one of those fake antispyware applications that pretends that your PC is infected (however, it doesn’t detect all the nasties that it itself installed on infected PCs).

Kerio Personal Firewall
Don't be lulled into a false sense of security by the Windows XP firewall. Unlike SKPF4, ZoneAlarm, Tiny, and other leading firewall software, the XP firewall only offers inbound firewall traffic monitoring. That means your credit card numbers, passwords, account information and more could be sent from your PC to a hacker, without the XP firewall even detecting the breach. SKPF4 offers the two-way, foolproof security you expect from a leading firewall for half the cost of the competition.

MRU-Blaster This program could not be added due to Charecter Restrictions.
These MRU lists contain information such as the names and/or locations of the last files you have accessed. They are located ALL OVER your registry, and for almost ANY file type. By looking at these MRU lists, someone could determine what files you opened/saved/looked at, what their file names were, and much more! (And, in many cases, the lists are displayed in drop-down menus automatically.)

SpywareBlaster
The most important step you can take is to secure your system. And SpywareBlaster is the most powerful protection program available.

Diskeeper 10 http://www.diskeeper.com

Doesn't really protect your computer against anything other then greatly increasing system performance, and it is far more efficient then the standard Windows Defragmentation software included in Windows.

It can defrag parts of the hard drive that the standard one can't (Like your Master File Table and Paging file, it can do this by defraging it during the boot up process), it can expand you Master File Table to include more entries which prefents file fragmentation. It can move all Folders to the beginning of a drive which increases disk read time, and two of my favorite features: 1) You can defrag multiple drives at once, and 2) The programs smart, It pauses the defragmentation process if you're using the drive, so you can use the computer while its defragmenting (When the feature is activated in the options)!

There is a 15 day trial version for Download on their site.
Home Edition is about 30 bucks, but I recommend the Professional Edition which is closer to 50 bucks.

A new firewall for my Windows XP Professional SP2 system.

Comodo -- link

Very low resource usage and doesn't slow my net connection. I like this one better than Sunbelt Kerio but that's just personal preference. Most reviews out there says that it's better to wait for Comodo v3 and stick with Sunbelt Kerio for now.
