Incomplete List of Security Software

I decided it was time to compile a list of as many Online scanners, Antivirus, Firewall, Adaware/Spyware, Popup blockers as I could remember. This list I call incomplete because there will always be more of each application. This will hopefully help those who are looking for software to compare or use.

I know there are a lot of duplicate looking entries but some places offer more than 1 thing.

Hope this helps.

Dcrypter

I'll do my best to keep this list up todate.
Thx to everyone for all the awesome feedback. :)

Removed From List
Stop Sign as requested.

Yeah, well I wouldn't touch the Stop Sign site or software.

EDIT:

OK, since I got negged for this, I'll state for the record that Stop Sign is a very well known AV-Spyware scam outfit. Do a search of AO and you will see a number of threads with nothing good to say about that outfit. Worse than the cure. They even advertise on TV, for crying out loud. Anyone who has had to clean up after one of these installations knows what I'm talking about.

:(

Cool list Dcrypter,

check AO list .... you can find many many tools there .... they make your list Completed

Welcome to AO

Cheers

LOL "welcome to AO" he has been around longer than you and me put together! :-)

Nice list mate, maybe could be made a sticky somewhere!

You might want to delist the free Kerio Firewall Kerio Firewall discontinued Dec 31 :eek:

Nice link dalek, never knew Kerio has such a following! Thought it was pretty crap myself!

Great. Just great. And with Sygate being bought by Norton, I don't want to switch to that one, either. Guess it's time to start shopping for another firewall, eh?

Get stop sign off your list please...

It has its roots in heavy adware / spyware activity. For example, it detected Ad-Aware and Spybot S&D as well as other AV's as "attackware".

Hey Hey,

I'd have to agree with everyone else suggesting the removal of stop sign,

At the same time.. another Spyware/Adware scanner is MS AntiSpyware (http://www.microsoft.com/antispyware).

Peace,
HT

You might want to add spyware blaster:http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html

It blocks spyware from coming in rather than working to remove it. Good in combination with other tools like Adaware.

Got to agree with Nokia this could be a useful sticky especially if Dcrypter would be willing to update it periodically.

Good list.
I might be going blind or maybe it doesnt fit in but i didn't see Microsofts security baseline analyzer
MSBA
they even changed the name a bit now it is called

There are several FREE local security programs and and LAN scanners you might want to append to your list. Some of these have come in very handy for me, at home and at work.

first and foremost, all of the free utilities by foundstone security:
http://www.foundstone.com/resources/freetools.htm

nmap scanner:
http://www.insecure.org/nmap/

ethereal sniffer:
http://www.ethereal.com/

ettercap sniffer:
http://ettercap.sourceforge.net/

and the winpcap library, needed for windows ports of some these programs:
http://www.winpcap.org/

also, for popup blocking, if you are not currently using a browser with built in capabilities (firefox), a little free tool from google can come in handy. with a few configurations, it makes google searches quick and easy, and blocks pop-ups quite well:
http://toolbar.google.com

Some of the tools might allready be mentioned, but anyway, here is a list I compiled from a penetration testing point of view a while back (it expanded a bit).

I disabled 'autowrap url' because it messed with the formatting. ;)
The list aint complete and some tools are in the wrong catagory, but anyway.

Attached the file in its original wrapping
(created with vi therefor notepad will show those funny squary things, you can use wordpad or some unix2dos util to fix that.

Cheers

Btw I want to notice once more that DrWeb got also one free and prety good scanner that updates few times a day :) that named as

CureIT

http://download.drweb.com/win/

A couple of others which might go with your list Dcrypter, is:

Winpatrol

Processguard

and



All_Seeing_Eye this one requires a little more knowledge of the innards. :)

Good list, kinda summarizes whats out there, and will be useful for those just getting their feet wet in securing their PC's :cool:

ive used zone alarm security suite 6.0+...seems to be the best ive ever used

xierox, i heavily recommend Outpost Firewall Pro 3.0. i have used OP since V2.1 and have never had a problem with it at all. Anytime a bug is discovered the solution is always very easy or fixed by agnitum fairly promptly. It also now has a Spyware Scanner built in that updates at least once a day.

Hello,

I have been looking through this list and wanted to make two suggestions. I see the Nmap was mentioned. Well the same person that wrote Nmap has GREAT site that lists 75 tools voted on by the "nmap-hackers" mailing list. Some awesome tools here:

http://www.insecure.org/tools.html

Also, there is a great Knoppix based tools suite available called "Auditor". You download the suite as an ISO image to burn to CD. You can find the suite of tools here:

http://www.remote-exploit.org/index.php/Auditor_main

Enjoy!
