Oops! Should read as below instead:
Thanks for updating the list.
Great stuff.
But the 'Printer-Friendly version' button seems
to link to the older version of this list

Please update the link to enable us
to keep a record of this great article!

As per ako's response, we've checked this out and the content is indeed current but for some reason the wrong date is being shown. We'll try to iron this out too :)
Thanks for informing us.
:) thanks!
The day is wrong, but the list seems to be the latest version
As an additional app under the header "Portable application launchers" I would suggest to include Liberkey (http://www.liberkey.com); from my experience, the best of its type.
Congratulations for your very useful and extensive list.
thanks :)
Could You please *mark* new items on the list, instead of enumerating them at the end?
This excellent list has become very long (thank you for that) which makes it very inconvenient to search for new items one by one. If You marked new items on the list, it would be enough to scroll through it just once to see what's new.
Thank You!
I'd prefer not to do that, as they should be removed later (how much later?, etc)
Please use CTRL-F for looking for
Using Ctrl-F to search for something is easy, that's not the main issue for me.
It's finding my way back to the exact part (line) of the "What's new" list where I left off before the search, which is very awkward (or is there a simple way?). And since it is not indicated on the "What's new" list in which category a particular program falls into, I have to search for every single new item one by one, just to see if it is even interests me (and then try every time to get back to the part of "What's new" I just left).
You get the problem now, I think...
My idea was something like this:
- Mark items newer than one week (the most visible way or color),
- items added in the last month, but not in the last week (less visible),
- items added in the last 2 or 3 months, but not in the last month (even less visible)
You could insert the date of addition after the name of the program, so that You can see if a program is still considered new (and on which level) when going through the list while editing.
This way the look of new items would gradually fade into the rest of this excellent list, while making it a lot easier to use this page.
Thanks.
How about CTRL-F and search "-1"
Your classification is in principle good, but would require quite a lot extra editing. But if somebody wants to help ....
Sorry, What I meant was:
Waht is this "CTRL-F and search "-1" " thing?
Please explain.
---------------------
it means search this string: -1

Looks like this could be a good one :)
Interestingly, McCity are amongst the recommends in the ASAP (Alliance of Security Analysis Professionals) list of log analysis resources.

NOTE TO THE EDITOR : Please note the spelling mistake in 'Windows Vista resque disks' instead of 'Windows Vista rescue disks' (under System Rescue category). Would you correct it, then, searching the word "rescue" on this page will return accurate results. Thanks for your editing work. Nicolas

I haven't come across this one before which on the face of it looks to be an interesting tool. I notice however that the antivirus check is listed as "coming soon" and yet the last date on their website appears to be over three years old?
*Malware removal help sites*
Malware Removal is Listed -Twice-
Please, correct it!
Merry Christmas to all! I'll be back next year :)
If your intending to buy Outpost Security Suite Pro. install the free version first, then use upgrade link from main page, it's a lot cheaper.
VBA32Check should be under Command line scanners, not AV-Scanners.
I see in your choices for free malware protection you list Microsoft Security Essentials as well as Windows Defender. I thought Defender was included in MSE and\or not required with it installed.
Thank you, Wayne.
But not everyone uses MSE, so users with another AV could still keep WD active at a HIPS/AS.
Good question. I had WD on when installing MSE. I know that the basic AM of WD is included in MSE, but am not sure if all HIPS-type properties are too. Does anyone else know this?
OK MSE shuts down WD http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/msestart/thread/5309cb8d-02e1-40e8-974f-0dcedb9ab9fd

anyone know why FoolDNS isn't on this list it has a community version which is free. I know that the website is in Italian but you can always translate it if you want or just add in the dns address and start using it right away. I find it very effective and it has malware protection and blocks lots of click trackers and ads. Worth checking out.
Thanx for mentioning our project! :)
We're overjoyed of your endorsement! There IS an english page, although a little slim :)
:)
Cheers from Italy!
