Dear ako,

-My 1st suggestion is:

*Junkware Removal Tool*

A security utility that searches for and removes common Adware, Toolbars, and Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs).

http://thisisudax.org/

-My 2nd suggestion is:

*GE Geek's Tech Toolkit*

Missing one under:

10. Sandboxing / Virtualization

would like to see Spyshelter (has a restricted mode you can assign programs like browsers etc to run in. it can remove write access).

by ako on 19. April 2013 - 7:21  (107181)

Thanks!

it is under 7.5

It is sometimes difficult to categorize - the product may have simultaneously various elements. They say it is mainly a keylogger:

"SpyShelter is an antikeylogger which can protect you against attacks that happen even when you do ordinary computer tasks like: typing into your computer, getting screenshots, opening files, and visiting sites. The SpyShelter monitors vulnerable and weak spots in your computer system to ensure that even the most sophisticated keyloggers are shut down even before these can launch a single dangerous attack against your computer. It ensures that sensitive data you enter and store on your computer will not get stolen by criminals for their own use."
