Here is probably the best spyware and trojan scanner and remover available.

 

Product is called A-Squared ... Yes it's FREE :) ... Lookie here > http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free/

 

Like any spyware removers some are good and some not so good, Ever wondered why ?. This is because the marketing powers to be offer huge wads of cashola to the spyware remover companier to NOT remover there rubbish ... NO SHIT ! ... So installing 2-3 is always a better option to completely remove unwanted rubbish. A-Squared and Spybot Search and Destroy and Spywareblaster are about the only three that have NO ... ZERO vested interest from marketing agents .... They tell em to just piss off, You can read this fact upon the Spybot site at safer networking.

 

Anyway back to A-Squared ... works a treat but be warned it is extremely thorough and will find anything and even surprise you what it does find liek game cracks and cheats and manipulated files, so be very careful what you remove or quarintine or you might just find your faverite game trainer refuses to work also even though you wanted to keep it. Deep scans take a while its not a quick fly over crossing fingers it finds something ... However check it out you might be impressed.

 

L8R :)

Something that might help you all finding those free apzz .... Head to Tucows and do a search for your type and look at the many free and trial ones they show they have a pretty good cow rating and user reply's so you can get an indapendant view of what it's like and any issues.

 

Just saves you the hassel of installing a POS when your not quite sure on the outcome.

Just wanted 2 share this with you all cuz it saved me alot of time this afternoon.

 

Regarding MP3's

 

Basically I rip alot of albums on 2 my PC for iTunes etc and download albums aswell. Alot of the time they appear in folders as track 1, track 2 etc. This can be annoying if you dont have a track list to show you which song is which so basically I found a program where you load up your folder with the MP3's in and do a search for the album and it gets the track list from CDDB or AMAZON.com/.uk/.de etc. So you dont have to rename them all manually.

 

renames and tags all tracks as long as you can find the album on the database.

 

Works much better with amazon rather than CDDB suprisingly.

 

Anyway heres the link

its a 30 day trial, but im sure you can work out how to make it longer ;)

 

this helped me, hope it will help you.

I just saw this and was going to mention Avast also :)

 

I heard about the Comodo AV suite ( http://www.comodo.com ) (has this Anti-virus, Firewall and this file access defense thingy that is kinda annoying I hear but all of those can be disabled from the program)

 

I would also like to mention Malwarebytes ( http://www.malwarebytes.org/ ), while it lacks the shell extension to scan files you can add a entry to the Send to ---> when you right click on the file

 

and to defrag, I disabled window's defrag and I have been using MyDefrag ( http://www.mydefrag.com/ ), you can use the preloaded scripts wich is what I use or make your own. I set a scheduled task so that I can run the optimize daily script every day and I run the monthly script once a month.

 

 

Oh and I almost forgot, Firefox has this awesome addon, takes a while to configure it with the websites and stuff BUT, noscript ( http://noscript.net/ ) is awesome, blocks javascript, flash unless you tell it to allow (either temp for the session or perm)

 

 

Edit: added links

I still say Avast.com but I think you have to pay for the Adware part of it.

Virtual Clonedrive

 

I've been using this on a Win7 64bit machine no probs, I haven't come across an image it will not mount yet.

 

<a href="http://www.slysoft.com/en/virtual-clonedrive.html" target="_blank">http://www.slysoft.com/en/virtual-clonedrive.html</a>

 

The latest version only works for free for 3 weeks guess I'll look for another lol.

Very Nice the last one about the Virtual drive, thx.

 

I am actually using Power ISO on win 7 but having this other one free is also a great choice.

 

Someone else was asking a few days ago about the best Antivir out there and although IMO there is no answer about "the best" antivir, I have a couple of suggestions:

 

http://www.virustotal.com/

 

This site will scan for you FOR FREE any file you want to upload and will use 40 MAJOR antivirus engines and will report any threat in a matter of seconds.

It is FREE, is SECURE, has been reviewd by PCWORLD so is not a scum and being free in this wolrd of copyrights infringments I do not know how long it will last, however is great resurce FOR SECURITY.

 

Also,

 

I use Avast 5 at the moment on my machine and I am very satisfied. Major PRO is the Avast ability to wake up m PC from sleep to perform the full scan, so that I can save power.

Not too many Antivir offer this option, not even the major you have to pay for and I found it Very useful.
