ANTI-SPYWARE/MALWARE

Spywares are a recent annoying kind of threat, their purpose is to advertise you, by all the way possible (to make you go on a website, about different subjects, to the most simple like to buy a car, to the worst like porn website, a threat for your childs). To do that, they show you popups, redirect your surfing at an unexpected website, hijack your softwares (mainly your browser, mail client, instant messaging client), and write registry entries. All of that leads often to privacy leaks (retrieve information about you to the authors) system stress (CPU & Memory consumption), and surfing/playing annoyances (bandwitdh consumption). The two most well known Anti-Spyware are SpyBot and Ad-Aware. Click here to Download.

FIREWALL

A "firewall" is not the same thing for everyone, so hard to tell you "the best" (i can't).
A basic firewall, as it used to be, is a vanilla packet filter, which mean that it checks rules (ip adresses, ports, protocols) and allows traffic or drop it. Nowadays, Windows home users needs have evolved, and so, firewalls too. Now, their are firewalls which handles websites cookies, emails spam, websites popups, bandwitdh throttler, port to process mapper, and most include outbound application filtering (their are other features like plugins, etc...) Because everyone's needs is different, a "best" firewall can't be chose. LNS uses very little ressources, what it mean that it won't slow down your computer or your surfing. It has the application filtering (one of the best) and the network filtering splitted, which mean that someone behind a NAT router (with a firewall integrated and well configured) can only use the application filtering without to bother to deal with the network filtering (that he can disabled). For others without routers, LNS provides you preconfigured set of rules to avoid you to waste time to setting it up. Their are advanced rules to really make you invisible to scans.

APPLICATION MONITORING

This approach is very interesting and very effective, if you can't fight all known and unknown threats, the most effective is to prevent threats to load, simply. Because basically even the most sophisticated threat is just an executable, monitoring executables launching on his system is a strong additional layer of security. A real "SandBox" software (or HIPS, stands for Host Intrusion Prevention System) will write a list of trusted executables (BlakIce for instance checks all your system executables to the setup) and will block the launch of any other applications.
