And you now have the power to calculate it, using the freeware** originally produced by Deloitte Consulting but now distributed as a standalone product. Click here to Download.

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.

CWShredder, ADS Spy, Many more...........

CWShredder

A small utility for removing CoolWebSearch (aka CoolWwwSearch, YouFindAll, White-Pages.ws and a million other names). Established antispyware program tend to forget essential parts of the hijack, so until they update, you can use this to completely remove the hijack. This program is updated to remove the new variants once they come out. CWShredder is owned and maintained by InterMute/Trend Micro since October 19, 2004. It is available from them for free seperately, or integrated into SpySubstract PRO. Click here to Download.

ADS Spy

A small tool to list, view or delete Alternate Data Streams (ADS) on Windows 2000/XP with NTFS file systems. ADS are a way of storing meta-information about files, without actually storing the information in the file it belongs to, carried over from early MacOS compatibility from Windows NT4. This meta-information is not visible in Windows Explorer. Recently browser hijackers began using this technique to store hidden information on the system, and even store trojan executable files in ADS streams of random files on the system. Use with caution, Windows and several antivirus programs also store (temporary) information in ADS.
Compatible with: Windows NT/2000/XP/2003. Click here to Download.

ANTI-TROJAN

Trojans can be more dangerous than a virus, while this one can destroy your files or altered them, a trojan can give a full access to a remote intruder who can do what he wants on your computer, in fact, he can do all you can do, he can find all your private and sensitive information.
In the worst case, you computer can be turned in a "zombie", attacking target without your knowledge (e.g. Microsoft), and only making you visible (appear as the attacker) hiding the true one, the cracker. Ewido 4.0 is in beta stage for now, only the previous 3.5 version is the final commercial version. However the 4.0 is a great improvement, and you should try it. The resident protection will scan the programs when they execute with a memory scanner and via emulation, which "should" bypass nearly all runtime packers. There is still techniques from the malware side to try fighting generic unpacking and emulation. Click here to Download

Spybot Destroy detects and removes spyware

Spybot

Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer. Click here to Download

avast! Virus Cleaner,

avast! Virus Cleaner

avast! Virus Cleaner is available free for every user. This tool will help you remove selected worm infections from your computer.

Free virus & worm removal tool

If, despite all the security measures you take, your computer gets infected by a virus or worm, it is necessary to disinfect your system somehow. While for some viruses the only 100% reliable method of disinfection is restoring your system from backups, for many common infections this is not really necessary and the virus/worm can be removed quite easily.

Removing the infection
The worms often schedule themselves to be run automatically when you start your operating system; some of them even register themselves to be run when any other application is started. Removing such a worm is not as simple as deleting it - when you just delete the worm file, your operating system might not be able to start your applications (such as Explorer) any more.
