couldn't see a thread like this, so...
C Cleaner
CCleaner is a freeware system optimization and privacy tool. It removes unused files from your system - allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space. It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history. But the best part is that it's fast (normally taking less than a second to run) and contains NO Spyware or Adware!
Zone Labs 'ZoneAlarm' Firewall
ZoneAlarm is an easy-to-use basic firewall that blocks hackers and other unknown threats. Includes multi-layer firewall.
AVG Anti-Virus
AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition is a free anti-virus protection tool developed by GRISOFT for home use. We invite you to join the millions of satisfied customers worldwide who have downloaded the software and now enjoy the benefits of AVG Anti-Virus Free.
AVG Anti-Root-kit
Rootkits can be used to hide malicious software on your system, rendering them invisible to most security tools. To detect and remove them you need a specialist program like this. AVG Anti-Rootkit Free can run basic and advanced searches on your computer. If it discovers a rootkit it will attempt to remove it for you.
Eusing Free Registry Cleaner
Eusing Free Registry Cleaner is a free registry repair software that allows you to safely clean and repair registry problems with a few simple mouse clicks.
Eraser
Eraser is an advanced security tool (for Windows), which allows you to completely remove sensitive data from your hard drive by overwriting it several times (up to 35 times) with carefully selected patterns. Works with Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP, Windows 2003 Server, Vista and DOS.
The patterns used for overwriting are based on Peter Gutmann's paper "Secure Deletion of Data from Magnetic and Solid-State Memory" and they are selected to effectively remove magnetic remnants from the hard drive.
Other methods include the one defined in the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual of the US Department of Defence and overwriting with pseudorandom data. You can also define your own overwriting methods.
Spyware Terminator
Free 100% Real-Time Protection is included in Spyware Terminator basic version – an essential function most other applications charge you extra for. Effectively remove spyware, adware, trojans, keyloggers, home page hijackers and other malware threats. Suspect files found during the scan are moved into Quarantine. Spyware Terminator prevents them from functioning and causing further damage to your computer. You can review and choose to permanently remove suspect files or safely store essential files.
Recuva
Recuva (pronounced "recover") is a freeware Windows utility to restore files that have been accidentally deleted from your computer. This includes files emptied from the Recycle bin as well as images and other files that have been deleted by user error from digital camera memory cards or MP3 players. It will even bring back files that have been deleted by bugs, crashes and viruses!
... and if you use Firefox
VideoDownloader
VideoDownloader Firefox Extension add a small icon on the status bar at the bottom of your Firefox window, and a toolbar button. Just click that and download the video you are watching!
NoScrpit
Winner of the "2006 PC World World Class Award", this tool provides extra protection to your Firefox. It allows JavaScript, Java and other executable content to run only from trusted domains of your choice, e.g. your home-banking web site. Such a preemptive approach prevents exploitation of security vulnerabilities (known and even unknown!) with no loss of functionality... Experts do agree: Firefox is really safer with NoScript ;-)
Temporary Inbox
This extension generates random disposable email addresses. You can use these email addresses for registration in forums, adult sites or whereever. The email addresses don't require registration. This is an easy way to avoid spam, because the spamer will never get your private email address .. only the temporaryinbox.com email address. And there the emails will be deleted after 6 hours.
Ad Block Plus
Ever been annoyed by all those ads and banners on the internet that often take longer to download than everything else on the page? Install Adblock Plus now and get rid of them.
Download Status Bar
View and manage downloads from a tidy statusbar - without the download window getting in the way of your web browsing.
Stealther
If there are times you want to surf the web without leaving a trace in your local computer, then this is the right extension for you.
Quick Restart
Ever needed to restart Firefox after enabling or disabling an extension, switching to a new theme, or modifying configuration files (such as userChrome.css or user.js)?
This simple extension adds a "Restart Firefox" item to the Tools menu. You can also use the Ctrl+Alt+R (1.0.1) keyboard shortcut, or the new toolbar button (1.1.0).
