Heres a list of programs I recommend. Useful for people who want some good programs. Security eTrust Armor 2005 eTrust made a great anti-virus/firewall here. You can make it so when a program wants to send a packet through the net you get a pop-up telling you the IP it's going to and whether to allow it or not. I highly recommend this program. 10/10 Ad-Aware SE 1.05 I have the professional version of this which includes Ad-Watch. I can safely say this is one of the best anti-spyware programs around. It checks your registry unlike most anti-spyware programs. 10/10 WPE Pro This is a freeware packet sniffer. Has a great layout and easy to use. i highly recommend this to paranoid people! 10/10 Spybot Search and Destroy Good at removing dialler, etc. Bazooka Spyware Scanner Comes with access to a database to show you how to remove any nasty remaining spyware. Messengers Trillian With trillian you don't need msn, icq, AIM, yahoo or irc! It's all in one here and with a few good features. I recommend this to people who have a lot of messengers and not enough room on their desktop. There is not many bugs in this. 9/10 Computer Cleanups Tune-Up Utilities 2004 This is a good program that allows you to speed up your comptuer greatly. You can use their one-click cleanup shortcut on your desktop to fix your comptuer in no time! 10/10 O&O Defrag This is one of the best defragmenting program here. I just used it and my computer is going better than the one microsoft gives ya. You get a good customisable defrag with a on screen layout (with custom legend). 9/10 Computer Cleaner Made by yourself *bows* Deletes a ton of los, files and unneeded things from your hard drive exetremely fast. Simple design and user interface. And if you don't have FireFox already GET IT NOW! Post other programs you want on here.... I'll add them when I'm bored. This isn't a complete list... I only added some that were top of the list material. - GeoTube
Spyware/Adware scanners Ad Aware Personal SE Same as the post above, but linkage this time .. Spybot Search and Destroy Good at removing dialler, etc. Bazooka Spyware Scanner Comes with access to a database to show you how to remove any nasty remaining spyware.
actually i think you'll find yahoo is a lot better. by almost 100% google has something like 130 millio search results in total. where as yahoo as 250 million. if your looking for something yahoo will bring up a lot more results almost doubling the chance of finding you what you want.
welll no point arguing out about search engines... this is about programs lmao I'll add some of them... gotta get some links...
Dump Windows. Get Linux. All I should Have to say. but You guys need to see the light so... 1.Get linux because I said so. 2.Linux Doesnt need that crappy anti spyware and Virus protection/locators (or whatever its called) . and 3. Because I said so. There I hope you see the light
AVG anti virus is pretty good too. I like it a lot and it's free + daily update of virus definition http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_index.php
As for the proggie list: Winamp, everyone knows what this is, but it should still be in the list. What version of Linux do you run? (Knoppix, Redhat...?) Kudos to the list
