    Great list of Network Security Tools. We use many of these at progs at work.

    Rankings and reviews of computer and network security software, programs, and tools.



    Here are a couple of good uninstaller programs as well.

        Everyone on here is clearly just throwing out random programs. If anyone needs any professional help, just shoot me a PM.

            Uniextract

            A lot of apps & programs are zipped in an installer package.
            I hate when they embed other crap in them....like the google tool bar & stuff.

            I always unzip/de-compress the executable.exe so I can see what its comprised
            of. Many times 7-zip is not strong enough to break it open so I found a titan
            of an extractor Uniextract .

            It can open most any installer executable so you can peruse the files inside
            it for malware before blindly clicking on Install.

            Many times I find that I don't need to use the installer.exe , as the file can operate as a stand alone.
            This is all the stuff inside the little Java icon download & 7zip couldn't open it,

                Fastone screen capture 3.5 was last free one
                Can even capture inside. Scrolling window. Brilliant.

                Security essentials really?
                I use forefront at work only because of the sa agreement. It missed so many simple infections. Forefront endpoint seems better. I actually preferred trend micro better heuristics.

                    I have a slightly different way of doing things, won't be the best for the impatient or technically challenged.

                    I do all web surfing via a virtual machine in my case I use VMware but there is a free version called Virtualbox. (it's good too)

                    The benefit is any infection/malware hits the VM not the host, you can shut off sharing between the VM and the host so there's less danger of infection to the host and the number of vectors/malware out there that include the ability to hop from a VM to the host target corporations specifically.

                    Haven't had an issue (on the host) in years, the VM can be dragged to trash and recreated or your can make a copy of a finished VM and drag the clean version out after getting rid of the old infected VM.

                    Think of it as an Internet condom.

                    It takes patience to set up, once you've figured out your flow it's easy, I do my banking from the host only and those are the only pages the host EVER hits.
                    Everything else is through the VM.

                    My VM is Linux (Ubuntu) I own no anti virus, malware cleaners, or any other 3rd party "security software" because I simply don't need it.

                      Knoppix CD and DVD distros run a pretty good Live Linux GUI that you can copy files from an infected partition to a networked computer before reinstalling an OS without pulling the machine apart. This has quick-saved some people's bacon a few times, and so have Slax distros. Both Knoppix and Slax read and write NTFS volumes if partitions are MBR.

                      For hitting other computers shares use this from Konqueror browser:
                      smb://<ip>/<sharename>
                      enter user/pass

                      AVG started hijacking browser search engines, on IE, Chrome, and Firefox.

                          Yep, me too. Have the kids' computers set up this way too. Power off reverts to the snapshot. Starts clean every time and no viruses.

                          VERY rarely do any web activity on the host.

                            Folks there is a NEW media player that I have discovered. I think it is better than VLC in ONE aspect.

                            You can tell it to make a thumbnail of the movie and punch in a few parameters and it will index your movies.

                            SO FAR I have only had it crash once, but I was done anyways so I might have been too fast telling it to exit out. This program is great and has indexed EVERY single one of my movies that my other programs were too finicky to do.

                            What other programs do did I use?
                            Video Thumbnails Maker
                            Thumbnail Me
                            Fast Video Indexer

                            This program is NOT a thumbnailer, but it has the capability built in just like windows media player classic, EXCEPT, this program so far appears to be FAR superior to many other video players AND it has its own codecs built in so that it behaves just like VLC.

                            THERE are a few things to NOTE though about this program.
                            1. DO NOT GET ANY NEWER VERSION THEN 3.6.0.87 because 3.7 has bugs- BAD bugs and capture gives you an error.
                            2. UNCHECK the check for updates on startup because it will bug you to update (because the new update inserts ads and other bull**** programs that get installed)
                            3. You have to go to video options for preferences and change something to turned off to default (strongly recommended) if you can not vid cap/make storyboards.
                            4. Check in your ADD/REMOVE programs and UNINSTALL the Search Protect by Conduit or whatever. It gets installed (no way around it) and then tries to jack your system by changing search provider OR by adding in a toolbar to your web browser.
                            5. If YOU DO decide to upgrade to 3.7- BEWARE. It will add in some damn advertising plane on the RIGHT side and connect to their website to give you ads each time. You can disable that by adding in a "127.0.0.1 player.kmpmedia.net" to your HOSTS file. If you know what that is you know how to edit it...

                            Once you take care of these issues you should have smooth sailing. So far the ONLY videos that this thing has failed to storyboard have been corrupted videos, but that has been one out of over 100...

                            The player is KM Player found HERE
