Avast!

www.avast.com
Windows Spiffy-looking avast! notifies you by e-mail or IM if it
catches a virus. You can't schedule scans, but its recovery database
can help if a virus damages your files.
AVG
Anti-Virus Free Edition
free.grisoft.com
Windows Its control center is awkward, but AVG scans files on demand,
upon access, on a schedule, and in e-mail. Its rescue disks will help
you recover from disaster.
Avira
AntiVir Personal Edition Classic
www.free-av.com
Windows AntiVir scans files on demand, upon access, and on a schedule;
it doesn't scan e-mail attachments until they're saved, but it does go
to work on rootkits. It's especially good at coexisting with other
security software. Like most good AV software, it has the Virus
Bulletin's VB100% award and certification for virus detection from ICSA
Labs.
Panda
Security

Windows | Web In less than a minute, Panda Security can analyze all
processes
running on your computer and identify viruses, Trojan horses, spyware,
or other malicious programs.
Norton
www.norton.com
Norton detects the bad guys by their behavior, not by
outdated virus signatures. It's surprisingly accurate and a good
companion to standard antivirus apps.
Trend
Micro

Windows Use the venerable HouseCall online scanner to get a second
opinion, or use the app for cleanup when malware prevents installation
of a local antivirus utility.

Hotspot Shield
www.anchorfree.com
Windows Create an instant virtual private network (VPN) tunnel between
your laptop and the router at any Wi-Fi hot spot to protect your data
from snoops on the public airwaves, even if you're using extra
encryption. If you're on a network that limits the use of certain apps
(such as Skype), the VPN could give you unfettered access. It even
works with your wired connection for an extra layer of security.
Kruptos

www.kruptos2.co.uk
Windows Kruptos makes a file accessible only to someone who knows the
password; it includes a file shredder.
Firewalls
Comodo
Firewall Pro
www.personalfirewall.comodo.com
Windows This protective dragon for XP and Vista keeps hackers out of
your system, controls which programs can access the Net (its whitelist
of about one million means you get fewer pop-ups), and blocks tricky
"leak test" techniques. It's both tough and good-looking.
