Probably the Best Free Security List in the World
|
Introduction
|
|
This huge list of free computer security products and services has been compiled over several years and is continuously updated. The purpose of the list is to provide a comprehensive documentation of the security products available rather than specific recommendations. If you are seeking recommendations then check out our comparative reviews of security products (links to them are shown in the list with The products on this list are almost exclusively free with a few exceptions. These include useful products without a free alternative that offer lifetime licenses or commercial products of outstanding merit. If you are looking for a particular type of product use the index table below to go to the appropriate page. If you simply want to browse the list then click the link at the top of the index to view the list as a single huge page. Note that in some cases the links in the list point to executables. In such cases replace [dot] with . and the link will work. We encourage you to use the comments section below to let us know about dead or incorrect links, suggest products that could be added or simply to tell us about your experience with particular products. We really value these suggestions and look carefully at each one. Sometimes this takes a little time but rest assured your comments will be noted. Disclaimer: We have tried to make sure that all links are legitimate. So in case of a "detection" by your antivirus the most likely explanation is it being a false positive. However, as cybercriminals compromise multitude of web sites daily, we would like to be informed for any potentially malicious links. Some of these programs may also harm your PC if they are misused. You use any of the applications at your own risk. Alias: http://tinyurl.com/free-security http://bit.ly/DQNn0 http://goo.gl/nw5c |

Brilliant - thanks for the link. :) Loved it when he accused Microsoft of lying about their supposed kernel merger in Windows 8 (although he uses slightly more colourful language!) :D
:D and for Nvidia -body language :)
My best overall was this quote towards the end:
"I like offending people because people who get offended should be offended".
I can identify with this. :D
Some of yours links are malicious, so I don't trust in yours recommendation...sorry.

Sorry Vodomar Anupam and epos. I made an editing mistake. Is there any possibility to undo it?
P.S. The discussion below proved, that it was a false positive.
What kind of editing mistake? You mean deleting the comments? Can't be done, if you mean that :D. No probs from me though.
Yes, it is a false positive definitely. I checked the site on urlvoid.com, and only BitDefender marks it as detected. However, when you click on more details, the BitDefender Trafficlight says that it can't find anything suspicious with the site. So, its definitely a case of a false positive.
Feel free to delete the whole series of comments. If someone can't accept the facts, we can do nothing.
Yes, I deleted it accidentally.
Yup, can't be undone. Meant to be deleted maybe? :D
;D

Google:Security warnings for suspected state-sponsored attacks

Hi all just had a interesting thing happen when I clicked on a link. I started out in the "Probably the Best Free Security List in the World" and clicked on http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/probably-best-free-security-list-world.htm?page=0,12
The Ip-Blocking/Hardening category I went to try out Sendori and the page loaded just fine until I tried to download it. I got a blocked alert for avira web protection said sendori is malware and then a few seconds later avira blocked the change of my host file. Thats not good and glad I decided to switch to avira. Just wanted to let everyone know I don't believe it to be a false positive since right after it tried to change my host file. I have Online armor free and avira free and I'm happy to say they work well. I use wireless data stick to access the internet so I was looking for a alternative dns that had a updater and software that would change my dns for me since its sorta like dial up broadband with a data stick any suggestions?? I would use opendns but it will not add my ip for some reason its restricted and I'm not able to do anything... I have the option to change from a dial up wireless modem to using it as a WAN just have to make changes to the tcp connection speed and just didn't want to go through all that. Is mailshield any good? Sendori was blocked for malware I might just stick with my ISP/Cell company.
Yes. The program is definitely legitimate. There has been heuristic "detection", probably due to packing or behavior.
