free windows software to help secure you

with how malicious people are online, it’s important to protect your data and protect your identity. these programs are our key tools in making windows safer.

AVG 2011

Free anti-virus just doens’t get better. This is the most basic version of the software that AVG offers, but it does an amazing job. the current verion of this software introduced an awesome anti-rootkit component (previously available as it’s own tool)

Advanced System Care

this replaces 30% of what i do when i clean computers. it fixes basic registry errors, cleans junk files and even file-by-file defrags – great to run in the background

Spybot S&D

this program has been a staple anti-spyware program for a long time. it’s resident protector monitors registry changes live, and it can immunize against 180,000 known problems

CCleaner

use this program to quickly remove temp files from your computer, and to fix many registry issues.

internet explorer is one of the worst things that has ever happened to browsing. it doesn’t honor code standards, it contains many vulnerabilities, and it’s not as fast as other options.

the two browsers below are my highly recommended alternatives (mac, win, lin compatible)

Chrome

google’s product….amazing

Firefox

mozilla corp’s baby that launched them into fame, a remake of the famous netscape navigator
