Process Explorer

Version: 11.20

Try it out!

Pros: Its great, it will show you all of the processes running and what I like about it is that it shows you the company the process belongs to. This is one of the reasons I don't like task manager, I don't know if the processes are 3rd party or not. Also it will show you were the file is located, which you can use to figure out what program the file belongs to.

Cons: It has a lot of advanced options that are kind of confusing. My main complaint is that it doesn't show you the programs running and you can't switch "switch to" or "end task" like you can with task manager, which is the reason you shouldn't replace task manager with process explorer(you can undo that change by the way).

Spyware Terminator

Version: 2.2.2.438

Kill Spyware

Pros: This antispyware is excellent! I have it on my Windows XP and it does everything it says and more. Detects spyware, keyloggers, and Trojans very well, and also includes a unique feature, it creates a log of your executables and notifies you when a new program tries to exectute itself. Yes it is annoying when installing new software but its a great feature.

Cons: The scans slow down your computer, but fortunately the scans are rather fast, It is ideal to scan your computer after a session.

AVG Anti-Virus

Version: 8.0.87

Don't uninstall 7.5

Cons: Its a step back from 7.5, has an annoying reminder that indicates it only works for about 30 days. You cannot remove the toolbar it installs, then tells you your not secure if it is not enabled. That really annoyed me and reminded me of Norton, with it's annoying false warnings. The scans scan for tracing cookies, which is a lot, so it is really difficult to track down the actual malware

Filseclab Personal Firewall Professional Edition

Version: 3.0.0.16

Good

Pros: Its a good firewall, detected all my programs, and unlike zonealarm it is not a hastle to install. Also, I like the cool little icon on the system tray :-)

Cons: The interface is really confusing, although you don't really need to use it. It's difficult to see which of my programs are blocked and which are allowed, but I'm sticking with it. Also it adds filseclab messenger as a startup program, but you can remove it

ZoneAlarm Firewall (Windows 2000/XP)

Version: 7.1

Dont Frieking download this!! Read this review!

Pros: Nothing!

Cons: I tried it due to high ratings and popularity and when i ran the uninstaller i realized it is more complicated and more deeply intergrated into Windows XP than I thought. It told me it had an error and could not install. The next day my internet connection was totally down! I even had to call Qwest (my ISP) and ask them for help. After an hour They told me that they were going to change the location were my network was connected, or some jibberjabber like that. I noticed ZoneAlarm files were still on my PC, and they refused to delete! "Access is denied" its MY computer and I delete whatever the hell I want!!! I tried system restore to the point where Zonealarm was of my system and my connection was back up, im going to call qwest right now and cancel the change
