Hey PHONETOOL, I just wanted to thank you for posting these up, I really appreciate having a variety of free software in one place to browse through. I downloaded the much needed CCleaner and am still reading through these slowly since I'm no computer wizz. You are welcome CCleaner is a great first choice It is one of my favorites. I think everyone should have it on their computer besides system cleaner It also has a built-in registry fix and free space wipe One of the best all-around utilities available. If you have any questions feel free to ask and I will be happy to help.

Picasa is free photo editing software from Google that makes your pictures look great. Sharing your best photos with friends and family is as easy as pressing a button!
When you first run Picasa 3 it offers to scan your whole hard drive (or designated locations) for photos and videos.Scanning is surprisingly quick and when finished you'll have all your shots neatly organized into folders on a time line basis. Now you can view your shots one at a time, in slideshow or traversing the time line. The editing features are limited compared to professional image editors yet they provide you with every function amateur photographers need including one click red eye reduction. Similarly adding labels to photos is a cinch while a simple but effective star rating system allows you to flag favorite snaps. Individual folders can also be password protected. Facilities are provided to import your images from your camera in multiple formats including RAW. You can send photos to your choice of web printing services, cut a CD, print to a local printer or share with others via your own blog or instant messaging. It is also worth noting that you can create web albums with free online storage, backup, and automatic resizing when exporting or email etc. Simply sensational.

a-squared Free Free Trojan Scanner/Trojan RemoverThis one will find things your regular antivirus might missa-squared Free is a good choice to scan and remove malware, especially trojans, from your PC. It removes reliably the trojans containing backdoors, keyloggers, dialers and other destructive pests which make it dangerous to surf the web. Other than trojans, it also can be used to recognize and remove spyware, adware, tracking cookies, worms, viruses and other malware from your PC. Designed for ease of use, this program combines a-squared Anti-Spyware and the Ikarus Anti-Virus engine in the latest version to cut down on unnecessary double detection routines for one and the same malware. Features such as quarantine, online updates and heuristic scan for unknown malware are included. As disclosed by a-squared Free, its malware database consists of more than 500,000 malware signatures. Malware, trojans and threatsMost PCs are now connected to the Internet and networks, making easier the spread of malicious software (malware), which includes trojans (also known as trojan horses), viruses, worms, spyware, adware, rootkits and other malicious or unwanted programs. Like spyware and adware, trojans can get onto your computer in a number of ways, including from a web browser, via e-mail, or in a bundle with other software downloaded from the Internet. Unlike viruses or worms, trojans do not replicate themselves but they can be just as destructive. On the surface, trojans appear benign and harmless, but once the infected code is run, trojans kick in and perform malicious functions to harm the computer system without the user's knowledge. Some typical examples of threats by trojans are as follows: * Erase, overwrite or corrupt data on a computer * Help to spread other malware such as viruses (by a dropper trojan) * Deactivate or interfere with anti-virus and firewall programs * Allow remote access to your computer (by a remote access trojan) * Upload and download files without your knowledge * Gather e-mail addresses and use them for spam * Log keystrokes to steal information such as passwords and credit card numbers * Copy fake links to false websites, display porno sites, play sounds/videos, display images * Slow down, restart or shut down your computer * Re-install themselves after being disabled a-squared download www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free/#download

ThreatFire FreeTrojan remover Will your antivirus software catch the latest malware that just came out today? In most cases, no, because it simply does not know how to detect it yet. But ThreatFire's ActiveDefense technology does, and has proven to provide up to 243% more protection when combined with traditional AntiVirus products. If you prefer background guard, PC Tools ThreatFire is a good choice. It provides proactive defense against both known and unknown threats by trojans as well as viruses, worms, spyware, rootkits and other malware. ThreatFire provides real-time behavior-based malware protection against new or unknown threats without scanning, but running constantly in the background, light on system resources. ThreatFire automatically quarantines known and unknown threats detected for your protection. After quarantining, you can choose to permanently delete the threats from your system. The program interface shows you a world map of prevalent threats, either trojans, worms, viruses, or other malware. Further, ThreatFire provides ThreatExpert Reports on the latest 200 findings of threats, more often with more than 30% of them related to trojans. ThreatFire comes with a feature which allows you to help identify new threats and provide feedback to its Secure Community while you receive automatic updates from them. If you opt out of the Community, automatic updates will not be supported. If I already have antivirus software why do I need ThreatFire? ThreatFire is dramatically different to traditional antivirus software. Normal antivirus products usually need to have first identified and seen a threat before they can provide adequate protection against it. The protection is then provided via a signature or fingerprint update, which must first be written by an antivirus researcher. This creates a large window of time where threats are undetected and can therefore infect your PC even when you have antivirus software installed. How can ThreatFire protect me when traditional antivirus can't? ThreatFire continually protects your PC against attacks by detecting malicious behavior, such as capturing your keystrokes or stealing your data, instead of only looking for known threats like normal antivirus software. By implementing sophisticated real-time behavioral analysis ThreatFire is able to stop never- before-seen "zero-day" threats solely by detecting their malicious activity. Remember to select the free version download www.threatfire.com/

Avast free antivirusFull Antivirus SoftwareThis one is equipped with a web, e-mail P2P and network shields It also has a very nice boot scan Avast! Home Edition is an excellent free antivirus. I like the retro looking skin, other skins can be downloaded for free, such as the MacLover OS X skin. With both spyware removal and antirootkit capabilities, full real-time capabilities, including web, e-mail, IM, P2P and network shields, as well as boot-time scanning. Avast is fairly light on resources, and is also the only antivirus to continue support for older Windows platforms. Avast can be set as a set-and-forget solution through the use of their Silent Mode ("Customize" under the detailed settings for On-Access Protection Control), where malware is automatically removed. Features overviewAnti-spyware built-in Anti-rootkit built-in Strong self-protection Antivirus kernel Simple User Interface Resident protection P2P and IM Shields Network Shield Web Shield Automatic updates Virus Chest System integration Integrated Virus Cleaner Support for 64-bit Windows Internationalization You will need to register the software after 60 days registration is free Download www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html

The free software that i have on my PC is: Anti-Virus software: Antivir - Its the best one out there, picks up the most viruses and runs quietly in the background. Anti-Spyware/Malware etc: Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and SUPER Anti-spware. I have both and they get rid of pretty much everything Cleaning: CCleaner and Advanced Systemcare - both clean your PC very well. Defragment: Smart Defrag: runs quickly and more effectively than the windows version. Firewall: Comodo - blocks far more stuff than any other firewall. You are protected with this. Free Your Memory: FreeRamXP Pro - frees up your memory no end. PC runs more quickly Uninstall: Revo Uninstaller - gets rid of the WHOLE program unlike the windows version which leaves loads behind. I hope that has been some help guys for anyone looking to keep their PC safe. I also recommend Gizmo's website. He has up-to-date links on how to protect your PC and things you can do to update it. I've included a link below: www.techsupportalert.com/

Sometimes mixing firewalls with different antiviruses causes issues I am glad to hear that you're having good luck with commando firewall and Antivir
I like Comodo Internet Security it really seems to work well. At install you can install both the firewall and antivirus designed to work together a great program
Best of all it's free
