More Security Freeware

Sorry that I haven't posted in a while, I have been really busy these past 2 weeks.
Now, since you have the basics, now you can get some products to enhance your computer's security. The first one is WinPatrol. It is a great product that runs monitors many different areas of your computer that spyware usually affects/changes, such as start up items, Windows services, and Scheduled Tasks. It also allows you to remove things at start at start up, or make them start a designated time after your computer starts, and more. To get it click here.
Another good free software is McAfee's Site Advisor. This free program is an add on for Firefox, and Internet Explorer. It tells you whether the site you are on is Safe, Harmful, or if it is in between. It also puts a sign next to each search result in most search engines, telling you whether that site is safe or not. If you put your mouse on the icon it will tell you why that site got the rating it did. It is a must for security. You can get it by clicking here.
Spyware Blaster is a software that protects Firefox from dangerous cookies, and IE from dangerous cookies and dangerous ActiveX controls. It also adds alot of sites to the restricted sites lists in Firefox and IE. You can get it by clicking here.
Like anti spywares, no anti virus can catch all viruses, yet unlike anti spywares, you can't have more than one. Luckily, you can use online scanners. Alot, of scanners don't remove what they find, and will say that there are viruses that aren't on your computer to scare you into buying there product, but Trendmicro's Housecall removes what it finds. It scans for Viruses, trojans, worms, spyware, and security vulnerabilities. The only downfall of this product of this product is that it uses an activeX conrol to run, so you can't use Firefox (you can use IE though). To use it click here.
