With people trying to stay secure constantly i suggest a few free programs out there that will keep you secure.
The first one I would like to introduce is Avast, although you do have to register it's still free. One thing I like about this program is the fact that it talks. Nice to know you have a virus at 4 a.m. !!! Sorry for the sarcasm but the voice gets annoying really fast when it's unable to delete a trojan. It says it over and over and over again with a little nag screen.
A utility that's actually useful is dban. Google it on the web. Boot and nuke is a powerful formatting tool. Need I say more ? It's something you would use to wipe your hard drive before you sell it or give it away.
Glary utilities is also useful. It comes with many features. It does a whole line of things in one click so you don't have to, cleaning cookies, web history, fixing registry as well as many other things.
An on screen recording tool, Cam studio. you can record anything that's on your screen wether it be webcams or video chats. If you need any help finding links i'd be glad to help you in your search. This doesn't really help your computer but it is useful and easy to use. It's useful for youtube videos.
Speaking of cam programs another useful one is manycam, you can play pre-made videos as if you had a webcam, even if you don't.
Theres one last program i'd like to talk about and that would be comodo firewall. It has the ability to make all of your ports stealth as well as several other good and easy to use features built-in. I would suggest using this if you don't have the money to invest into cost-worthy programs such as mccafee.
There are many other useful free programs to keep your computer secure. I've only listed the ones I have personally used and had no trouble with.
If you have any suggestions to other programs, software, freeware or anything else you would like to add. Feel free to post/comment.
