Freeware Series - Security Softwares

Here comes the 2nd installment of the FreeWare Series. As I'd already mentioned, I'd started this series as a help guide for all those who aren't rich enough to buy original software but are conscientious enough not to use the pirated ones.

Security Softwares

1. CyberHawk - Cyberhawk is a next-gen security software. Simply put, it is "threat protection made easy" for everyone, even novices! It provides protection against viruses, spyware, trojans, intruders and other threats to PC security. Cyberhawk does the work of antivirus, anti-spyware and firewall programs. It is designed to work alongside any current security programs you may already have installed, so you don't need to uninstall your previous antivirus, anti-spyware, firewall or other security program before installing Cyberhawk.
2. Security Process Explorer - Security Process Explorer is an enhanced task manager, that provides advanced information about programs and processes running on the computer. It displays all the standard information, including file name, directory path, description, CPU usage etc. as well as a unique security risk rating. This rating is conclusive and relies on the expertise of the user to determine whether the process should be terminated or removed.
   
   Security Process Explorer allows you to monitor CPU and memory usage graphs per process, view detailed processes information (with descriptions), stop and start new processes, set priorities and much more. You can easily find and remove unnecessary background processes as well as assigning more resources to demanding processes like games, realtime multimedia applications and cd writing softwares.
   
   Features:
   
   • Give you detailed information about each and every process
   • Indicate whether a process is safe or not
   • Allow you to terminate process with a single click.
   • Let you block any unwanted processes or malware
   • Simple and User friendly interface
3. Stinger - Stinger is a stand-alone utility used to detect and remove specific viruses. It is not a substitute for full anti-virus protection, but rather a tool to assist administrators and users when dealing with an infected system. Stinger utilizes next generation scan engine technology, including process scanning, digitally signed DAT files, and scan performance optimizations.
   
   This version of Stinger includes specific detection and repair for W32/Polip only. At this time, because of the nature of the infection algorithm, repair of files infected with W32/Polip may not return the files to their pristine, pre-infected state, and can cause problems with self-checking applications.
4. Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool - Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool checks your computer for infection by specific, prevalent malicious software (including Blaster, Sasser, and Mydoom) and helps to remove the infection if it is found.
   
   This tool will help to remove specific, prevalent malicious software from infected systems. Because computers can appear to function normally when infected, Microsoft advises you to run this tool even if your computer seems to be fine. In addition to using this tool, you should use an up-to-date antivirus product to help protect your computer from other malicious software.
