A List Of Free Security Tools

[LazyPotato]

Panda Rescue CD does exists,check.

A few of us tested Roboscan a while back, and it was crap :P Nothing like Bitdefender detection rate. They screwed up somewhere with it.

Screw Bitdefender,a overall better Antivirus uses engine of that AV. BItdefender is : Laggy,crappy,realtime protection suck,so does firewall suck,not sure if that IS/AV has HIPS. I wouldn't uses Bitdefender,personally,I'd rather use Emsisoft Antimalware + Online Armor premium

SpyMe Tools
Version 1.5.0

SpyMe Tools is very useful in detecting Registry and Disk changes. If any application installs spyware,
adware, dlls, programs, files, or any other type of file, picture, or program, etc. or changes the Registry's
content, you will be able to see exactly where the modification occurred so you can take measures. It
seems like more and more programs are attempting to install spyware, advertisements, or other garbage
without your knowledge, but with this software you will know everything that is added or removed.

To detect Registry/Disk changes the program will create Dumps of the actual states of Registry/Disk.
This means that at any time you can open the Dump file and view the contents of the Registry/Disk just
as they were when you've scanned the Registry/Disk. The program can compare two different dump files
so you'll see exactly what changed in the Registry/Disk between the two scans.

You can also use the program to backup your Registry. The program can restore old states of Registry
keys using the data in the Dump files.

To prevent other persons from viewing your scanned files you may encrypt them so that a password will
be required whenever someone tries to open them.

SpyMe Tools also includes a Real time Disk/Registry monitor so you may spot the changes in real time.
(Real time Disk monitor works only on NT platform, including Win2k and Win XP).

[LuckyStar]

Thanks for the list. 
Just wanted to let you know that, according to Emsisoft's site, they have stopped working on Online Armor (Emsisoft's free firewall). New license activations were only possible until the end of May 2015. The official end of technical support will be March 31, 2016. 

Tried to install it, but it was too late.

The link for AdAware should be updated. It's a very good program.

[genwolf]

I think very usefull right now is Windows 10 Firewall Control Free.

It's very difficult to find simple and light weight firewall now...

[miski]

Thats a fabulous job for the list....keep it up......

 

Can some one post here the best of the list and essential or minimum ones to be installed on pc.

Well, its a matter of individual (internet) habits and choice.

 

The absolute minimum is: What comes with Windows (e.g., Microsoft Security Essentials or Windows Defender).

The minimum is a third-party antivirus program (Avast, Avg, Avira, Bitdefender, Panda ...).

The minimum+ is adding an on-demand malware scanner (MalwareBytes Anti-Malware 1.75 or 2.2.1 suffices).

 

Having a cleaner is good also (e.g., CCleaner).
 

With the above, one'd be good to go.  After that, one's paranoia will take over and propel one. 

 

Enjoy!

Kaspersky Anti-Virus Free is sufficient. 

[zadkiel]

Recently, Windows Defender is a lot of publicity.

[hamed131368]

Either way i've added sections on backup, cleaners/ erasers and safe browsing. Added a few more tools to the Other Tools section too.

Still thinking about what else to add elsewhere.

[IBNHAGAR]

I am using Kaspersky free+windows firewall over a year and it is good.

[Truepeace]

I recommend the free, lightweight and portable Adwcleaner by Malwarebytes which cleans all junk ads and PUP without the need of an installation.

I don't know why there is no mention of Norton Security, I've been using it for like 12 years and it's highly recommended.
