*FREE* Tools To Make Your Life Easier.
As a service to our clients and the internet community we decided to put up a list of handy tools & utilities to help you in your daily needs. All the tools are defined as 'Freeware' which means you don't have to pay for them if you want to use them. Some might have an exception as to that the Freeware part is only for personal use, but I can not decide that for you. As for commercial usage of some of these tools, their registration price is very reasonable (read cheap) and you will be able to fully use the program before you decide to 'buy' it. It is more of a moral question, because the software will be fully functional.
The tools are separated in a different categories to make it easier to see what their usage is.
Scan Right Now!Kaspersky Anti-Virus Online Scanner - Even if you have an existing anti-virus solution in place, it is still good to verify that it is doing a good job. So we recommend that once a month you run this on-line scanner. ewido/AVG Anti-Spyware Online Scanner - For most users, Windows Defender is more then enough as a real-time Anti-Spyware solution. However this scanner will allow you to verify that it is doing a good job, without having to install any additional application.SecurityFirewall Windows XP Service Pack 2 - A firewall protection is a MUST on today's internet. It protects your computer from incoming traffic that you did not ask for, such as attempts from hackers to get into your computer. But a firewall is only a small step in protecting yourself, you still need to make sure all your programs are up-to-date. So not only do you need to check with the Microsoft Update Site on the 2nd Tuesday of every month, but also check with each website of other products that you use, to make sure no updates have been released. The Windows XP firewall is a simplified version to make it easy for the novice user. If a more advanced solution is needed, check out GhostWall Firewall. Anti Virus GriSoft scanner (AVG) - This is an excellent virus scanner, totally free for personal use. In our tests it ranks better in protection then Symantec/Norton and McAfee protection.InternetSmartFTP - The best FTP client there is, period. Mozilla Firefox - This is a handy browser to have on the side, or can be used as a total replacement for 'Internet Explorer'. But please keep IE to visit the Windows Update page every 2nd Tuesday of the month, to make sure it remains updated. The same goes for Firefox, remember to keep it up-to-date in regards to possible exploits. We verify all our clients websites to function on Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, but also Apple Mac OSX Safari. Mozilla Thunderbird - Is an extremly handy E-mail client that has a good spam filter system included, and also protects against phishing emails. It is easy to install and will detect if you got Outlook Express, Outlook or other clients installed and is able to copy your existing emails and account details over. Foxit PDF Reader - With the official Adobe Acrobat PDF reader become big and slow, this is a very small and powerful replacement. |
SpyWare & Pop-upsMicrosoft Windows Defender - Microsoft Windows Defender is the new name for the 'Microsoft AntiSpyware' program, which is based on the Giant AntiSpyware solution that Microsoft got when they purchased 'Giant Company Software' back in December 17th 2004. It stays running in the background, creating a real-time protection against SpyWare threats. Ad-Aware - A real paranoid person would never trust a single solution, so you can always run Ad-Aware once in a while to verify if 'Microsoft Windows Defender' is doing a good job. Pop-up blocker Windows XP - Since Windows XP Service Pack 2, there is a very effective pop-up blocker option added for Internet Explorer. By default it's settings are set at a level that might still allow a lot of pop-ups. We advice to change the settings to maximum and use the CTRL key to manually allow pop-ups. Disabling the sound and information bar checkbox options might help in keeping your sanity as well.Advanced ToolsCompuSec - CompuSec is an easy to use, encryption protection, that will help secure your valuable data. Especially for a notebook, which could get lost or stolen, it is important that your personal data remains safe. The protection can be enabled to work on pre-boot, meaning that even before the computer becomes usable, a correct password is required. DropMyRights - DropMyRights is a way to put Internet Explorer in a secure 'sandbox'. This means that even if IE is compromised with a trojan/virus, it can not do much damage, because it does not have admin rights anymore. This allows Windows Vista alike protection for Windows 2000/XP users. WinBar - WinBar is a very nice addition to show more information on your screen about your computer. It also comes with many additions, such as ability to sync your time & date to an online atomic clock, check for new e-mail, give information on your internet download and upload speed, your uptime, news tracker that is compatible with any RSS/XML based news feed, and many more. Speedfan - Since the developers behind MainBoardMonitor (MBM) decided to stop their development, we where forced to look for an alternative solution. Fortunately we stumbled upon Speedfan, which for us performs even better then MBM. It offers many advanced options to tweak its settings and appearance, so please read the instructions carefully. Hijack This v1.99.1 - Easy tool for the more experienced user to detect unknown Trojan/Virus infection and remove Startup/BHO/etc items. RealVNC v4.1.3 - Remote control tool that we use to help our clients. It is best to disable Java access on port 5800 and restrict remote access to static IPs (or even better tunnel is via SSH). If a router is in use, adjustments need to be made, to allow TCP port 5900 to port-forward to the correct computer. Multiple systems on the same LAN can be controlled, by using a different port for each computer and adjust the port-forward table accordingly. No-IP Client v2.2.1 - Tool we use for our remote control clients, so that we can find them even if their IP changes.We hope you enjoy these tools, and will add more as soon as we find them, and made sure they work as well as advertised. |
