 Anti-Malware and other programs.I hope noone minds me using LV-Gamer's post and updating it.
---------------------------- Extractors/CD-DVD Mounters/ISO Burners ---------------------------- WinRar Official Site http://www.rarlabs.com/ Best un/compressing tool. IMGBurn Official Site http://www.imgburn.com/ Great, easy to use image burner Daemon Tools Official Site http://www.daemon-tools.cc Very good CD/DVD Mounting program, allows you to virtually mount a CD/DVD, making your computer think you have the CD in the drive when you don't, very convenient. ---------------------------- Anti Virus/Trojan removers/Firewalls ---------------------------- ZoneAlarm Official Site http://www.zonealarm.com Very good firewall/anti-malware if you're in need of one. always given good results and a high rating. Some programs are free, some arent AVG Free 9.0 Official Site http://www.avg.com One of the best Anti-virus programs out there. 9.0 is the newest version, it is a bit bulky, but is also very good. Avast! Official Site http://www.avast.com/ Another great, free anti-virus program. personally i dont like it because it isnt as easy to use as avg or avira. Avira Antivir Official Site http://www.avira.com Another great, free anti-virus program. Not as bulky as AVG. Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Official Site http://www.malwarebytes.org/ A must-have anti-malware program. I have always used it side-by-side with any anti-virus and anti-spyware prgrams im using at the time. ---------------------------- Spyware Removal ---------------------------- SpyBot S&D Official Site http://www.safer-networking.org Very good Spyware/Malware remover, free download and constantly updated. Tends to get some of the stuff spybot doesn't. ---------------------------- 3rd Party Browsers ---------------------------- Mozilla Firefox Official Site http://www.mozilla.com/Firefox/ One of the best browsers out there, built in pop-up blocker, integrated Google search bar, TONS of plug-ins, prevents useless spyware/active-x programs, etc. Multiple Tab'd browsing, bookmark manager, TONS of features. Best browser out there, by far. Google Chrome Official Site http://www.google.com/chrome Very nice browser by google. Fast with lots of nice features. Still lacking in some areas, but give it time. Opera Official Site http://www.opera.com Another great browser, not quite as sharp and as fast as Firefox but still very good. Very powerful, lots of features. ---------------------------- Multi-Chat Client Programs ---------------------------- Trillian Official Site http://www.trillian.im A very nice multiclient chat program, supports Windows Live™, Yahoo!®, MySpaceIM, AIM®, Google™, ICQ®, Jabber, Skype™, IRC, and manage your Email, Facebook, and Twitter™. Has a lot of nice plug-ins in features also. Digsby Official Site http://www.digsby.com Supports AIM, MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, Google Talk, Jabber, and Facebook Chat. My favorite. Has a lot of nice features. Pidgin Official Site http://www.pidgin.im/ Supported chat networks are AIM, Bonjour, Gadu-Gadu, Google Talk, Groupwise, ICQ, IRC, MSN, MySpaceIM, QQ, SILC, SIMPLE, Sametime, XMPP, Yahoo!. mIRC Official Site http://www.mirc.com Internet Chat Relay program, very nice to have. Whether you use it for a CS idling channel or to talk to thousands of people at once, it's up to you. Suggest downloading this and find your favorite channels today! Whether it's books or video games, they have everything. ---------------------------- Bittorent Clients ---------------------------- uTorrent Official Site http://www.utorrent.com/ My personal favorite Bittorent Client. Very powerful, and very small. Azureus Official Site azureus.sourceforge.net My other personal choice of Bittorent Clients, supports multiple downloads at once (in just one window). Only downfall is you'll need to install Java runtime which can also be found on there. ---------------------------- Download Managers/FTP Managers ---------------------------- CuteFTP Official Site http://www.cuteftp.com Another good FTP manager, better IMO for managing your own FTP rather then leeching off of others. Recommended to anyone. FlashGet Official Site http://www.amazesoft.com/index_en.htm Another VERY good download manager, maintains very high speeds even on the slowest of sites, just as good, if not better, then LeechGet. FileZilla Official Site filezilla-project.org Another great FTP program. It is also open source. ---------------------------- Hex Editors ---------------------------- Ultra Edit Official Site http://www.ultraedit.com Includes many advanced features for advanced Hex Editing users. BP Soft Official Site http://www.bpsoft.com/ Basic Hexidecimal Editor, includes all your basic functions and advanced stuff. WinHex Official Site http://www.sf-soft.de/hex-editor.html WinHex is a typical Hex Editor, same as the rest of them basically. ---------------------------- MovieMaking and CS utilities ---------------------------- Fraps Official Site http://www.fraps.com/ Good basic MovieMaking program, has a large output size but is very easy with a great user interface, trial version only allows up to a 30 second record. Vegas Video Official Site http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/vegaspro Most powerful and advanced video editing program around, has an amazing interface and layout, very easy to navigate around and has almost every possible video fx you could imagine. Videomach Official Site http://www.gromada.com/ The perfect program for converting .bmp/.jpg files to an .avi, preferered program by most moviemakers. Very simple interface and program that recognizes tons of codecs. Adobe Premier Official Site http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/index.html Another great moviemaking program used by a wide range of moviemakers, while Vegas Video is usually the preferred choice, this program is still great but no free download is available. Adobe After Effects Official Site http://www.adobe.com/products/aftereffects/index.html Top notch editing program that allows you to do tons of things to your movies final cut, everything from credits to intros can be created with this great program. No free download or trial is available. ---------------------------- Other ---------------------------- AutoIt Official Site http://www.autoitscript.com/ Used to program some different applications such as DiabloII bots. Simulates clicks, mouse motions, keyboard strokes, etc. MD5 Official Site http://etree.org/md5com.html Program that checks your computer for files that might be an unaltered original or a corrupt file. CCleaner Official Site http://www.ccleaner.com/ Removes invalid registry files, cache files, certain history things, and much much more. I deleted over 300 mbs worth of junk, some people have reported up to 4gbs of things removed, I suggest this to anyone. Advanced SystemCare Free Official Site http://www.iobit.com/advancedwindowscareper.html Great maintenance program. Cleans registry, some spyware, temporary files, and many other things. Revo Uninstaller Official Site http://www.revouninstaller.com/ IMO the best uninstaller tool. It is a great replacement for the windows uninstaller. It will do a search, after using the built-in uninstaller, for left over files. Auslogics Disk Defrag Official Site http://www.auslogics.com/disk-defrag One of the better de-fragmenting program. Gives good info after the defrag. Defraggler Official Site http://www.piriform.com/defraggler By the same company that makes CCleaner, this is another great defrag program. Easy to use, tiny download. I like it's "quick defrag" feature that blasts through the low-lying easy stuff. Smart Defrag Official Site http://www.iobit.com/iobitsmartdefrag.html Another great program from IOBit. it has an icon built into Advanced SystemCare. It is a very good program, IMO the best. MyDefrag Official Site http://www.mydefrag.com/ A great defrag program. The best part for me, is that it has an option to use it as my screen saver. It will defrag my computer whenever the screen saver comes on. It also has scripts, I havent written any cause idk how to, but it comes with enough so i dont have to. _________________  Last edited by r3xx3r on Sun Nov 15, 2009 3:38 pm, edited 4 times in total. |

Re: Anti-Malware and other programs. I'd argue that both Avast and Avir should fall ahead of AVG. AVG is almost too bloated to use compared to the others.
Browsers, don't forget Google Chrome. Once plug-ins are allowed and they have a good ad blocker, Chrome will be king, no doubt in my mind. IM client I swear by currently is Pidgin. I consider it the stripped-down "standard" from which all the others derive, even if it arrived late to the game. _________________ BAN Log: Player [[n00b] Reborn''] [STEAM_0:1:456925] Time 02/21/2010 @ 17:17:03 |
