Best Free Trojan Scanner/Trojan Remover New

Ewido the best of a new crop of anti-Trojan programs On my recent tests over at www.anti-trojan-software-reviews.com it emerged as was one of the few products that could reliably detect polymorphic and process injecting Trojans that were totally missed by anti-virus products like Norton and AVG No, it's not as good as TDS-3 or Trojan Hunter but you get what you pay for You see, the free version of Ewido doesn’t have a memory monitor but the on-demand scanner is so good you'll have no complaints The free version download is actually the same as the paid version but after 14 days the memory monitor becomes non-functional I recommend all readers download the product and scan their PCs weekly I suspect you may be surprised at what you will find I've also included a link to my full Ewido review for those who want to know more about the product prior to

downloading

Best Free File Cleaner

I've tried quite a few commercial products designed to clean unneeded temporary files off your hard disk but must say that the free utility "Empty Temp Folders" ranks with the best It takes a few minutes to set up but after that, just press a

button to recover many megabytes of disk space (667KB)

Best Free Resource Meter

This is cute TinyResMeter is an itsy-bitsy system monitor Unlike many other monitors, it doesn't consume a lot of CPU utilization in order to tell you your CPU utilization In addition to CPU usage, you can optionally monitor cache, RAM, page file and swap file usage, running processes and threads, disk space utilization and a number of other parameters as well

Also built-in, is a screen grabber that saves the current screen to disk when you press PrintScreen How they fit all this into 96KB beats me

Best Free Spam Filter for the Average User Updated

Mailwasher is for most folk, the easiest way of dealing with Spam It's a free email preview utility that allows you to check your email on your mail server before you download it to your PC The advantage of this approach is that you can kill

unwanted messages including spam, viruses and large attachments before they get anywhere near your computer Mailwasher automatically flags for you any

messages containing viruses and possible spam which makes for quick and easy identification It also will send a message back to the spam mail sender saying that their message could not be delivered Hopefully this will encourage some

spammers to take your name off their mailing list The free version only handles only one POP email account but that's sufficient for most users If you need

multiple account try XTerminator which provides many of the same features of Mailwasher though with a less elegant interface

Best Free Spam Filter for Experienced Users Updated

When it comes to effectiveness, POPFile beats the pants off most other spam filters I've tried But this effectiveness takes a little time to develop POPFile is a

statistical filter so it has to be trained to recognize your spam from your normal mail It takes a week or so before it starts becoming accurate and best results may take a month or more POPFile works as a proxy mail server so that means that it can be used with any POP email client Setup is reasonably straightforward for experienced users but beginners should stick with Mailwasher Outlook users

should check out SpamBayes, another open source statistical filter that offers an Outlook plug-in that makes it more more convenient to use

Best Free PopUp Stopper Updated Updated

The Proxomitron is not like your average popup stopper It operates by filtering and transforming all your Web pages on the fly As a result you can not only stop

pop-ups but pop-unders, ads, flash animations, status bar scrollers and just about anything else Besides, next time you are asked what pop-up stopper you use, you can answer; "why, I use The Proxomitron" and how cool is that The first link below is to version 4.5, the last and final version of this superb utility The

following two links offer useful setup and usage tips Note: For Novice PC users I suggest you try the news Google tool bar rather than The Proxomitron It's free as well and has an excellent popup filter built in It's not as flexible as as The

Proxomitron, but it requires no setup As a bonus it also makes Google searches easier

Best Free Sticky Notes Utility New

Some people hate these programs others swear they can't work effectively without them I used to be in the first category but with so many things on my plate these days, I'm slowly being converted The function that I find really useful is the

reminder that pops up at a designated time and date I use it for simple things like

"put up the latest issue on the web site." ATnotes is a neat implementation that features configurable alarms, resizable windows, variable fonts and a host of other useful features The product is remarkably similar to the commercial sticky notes utility called, TurboNotes Is imitation the sincerest form of flattery? Maybe not (723KB)

Best Free Process Viewer New New

PrcView has long been my personal choice but Process Explorer has pushed it aside The reason? A better display setup coupled with more features and even more information Process Explorer uses two vertical panes The top contains all active processes while the second shows either all the handles opened by a selected process or, optimally, a list of DLLs and memory mapped files A very handy search feature allows you to work backwards from named DLLs or handles to the owning process A gem Freeware, 230KB

Best Free Inventory Tool

AIDA32 is arguably the best system inventorying tools I've used regardless of price It will document just about every aspect of your hardware and software configuration Throw in the fact that it checks out networks, gives memory

benchmarks and that it is totally free, and you end up with a product that should be

in everyone's toolkit Download from the link below but remember to download the documentation as well Corporate users need to register - but there's still no charge The developer announced in March 2004 that the product has been frozen and there will be no more development However, as of today, it is still the best in its class
