Ninite is very cool soft preinstaller. You can select from bunch of apps and simply download installer. This installer will install your selected apps and do it quietly, no “next’s”, no questions, just download and installs. Very useful online resource, when you need to reinstall windows from scratch.

Go to ninite website and start selecting your soft ;)

There is list of features:

• Almost 100% detection
• Outstanding performance
• Reasonable memory requirements
• Very intuitive Simple User Interface
• Working with the scan results – actions with infected files
• Various appearances – skin support
• Antivirus screen-saver
• The system of incremental updates guarantees low traffic
• The updates can be completely automatic
• Standard Shield protects the file system
• Generic SMTP/POP3/IMAP4 scanner
• Specific MS Outlook plugin

From my personal usage experience, I’d like to mention, that screen-saver function was new for me, also its really usefull. It scans your hard drive, while your pc is in screen-saver mode. Virus database is updated daily, good virus/spyware support. Once I sent to Alwil software sample of spyware file, which was not detected. Next day it was detected as spyware! Also there is very handy feature for windowsXP boot-time scan. Even when virus is still active and cannot be deleted in normal windows mode, you can schedule boot-time scanning, so after reboot avast checks whole your drive before os boots-up.

Download Alwil’s Avast! antivirus

I like this app because its small, no install needed and does simple file saving routine from linux. (Hate to reboot to linux just to save one file:). You can download it here: http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/explore2fs.htm

If you need more functionality there are drivers writen for windows. One of them, which I tested – EXT2IFS. This driver after instalation shows linux partitions as ususal windows disks. So you have more disks, and use them as windows partitions. You can download it from here: http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/ext2ifs.htm#Download

ReiserFs support (didn’t tested by myself):

I was using Radmin before, but is it shareware and functionality very similair to TightVNC. Good thing, that this vnc is crossplatform. So you can connect from windows to linux pc and so on.
You can download TightVNC here

HINT: If you need to send “Ctrl+Alt+Del” to remote windows desktop, press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Del.

Thats what authors say about FREEping:

- 100% Freeware
- Used by thousands of network administrators
- Small footprint, 1 executable file and 1 text-based configuration file
- Automatically gathers statistics while active
- Ping as many TCP/IP addresses as you want
- Popup alerts

My first impression was quite good, because I had to check ~50 IP’S are they dead or alive. So I downloaded, installed, formed .ini file with the list and watched action.
Everything was fine, I found dead hosts (or they were blocking ping).

So, this program is small, customisable, free, no trash in registry, uses standart .ini file (easy to form big list).

You can download it here: FREEping

If you dont know how to use HJT – read tutorial and be very carefull, do registry backups!

You can download HijackThis here Official HJT page
And if you have no VB runtime libraries you can download them here VB runtime libraries download
UPDATE: accidently found this page. Great hijackThis log analyzer. Usefull for hjt begginers.

They crawls through links in that site and downloads html’s, images and other stuf (depends on options mostly). I tried Teleport-Pro, its fast and simple, but its shareware, so I needed to find free alternative. And this program is called HTTrack.
Its fast, free (GPL), easy-to-use, opensource offline browser utility. It has lots of options and also simple wizard. It fits and beginners’ and proffesionals’ needs. There are Windows and *nix like system versions. So I recommend you to use this app.
