    Long Version:
    When a friend of a friend asked for help cleaning malware out of her computer, I turned first to this list for links to malware-removal software.
    Although I performed the task as a goodwill gesture, I was forced to accept 50 euros as they were so overjoyed.

    Short Version:
    Thanks for this list, much appreciated! :D

    Yep, read some about it - simply don't wanna install more custom software and "hooks" on my system right now. If I feel the need for it, I can go with DW and some light AV. :)

    I explained in the beginning the non-free programs:

    Non-free products have been included if a) there is no free alternative, b) the product is good and licence is for lifetime, c) the product is exceptionally good and recommended by many professionals.

    The word "professionals" of course refers to Wilders members! :)

    In a way it is. We would not have room on one page if all the recommended threads for sticky were sticked so there is a sticky thread requesting input of threads worth mentioning.

    ako has already mentioned this thread in that sticky here.

    Probably the best free security list in the world

    Non-free products have been included if a) there is no free alternative, b) the product is good and licence is for lifetime, c) the product is exceptionally good and recommended by many professionals. The products are often in the order "better is more close to the top", but such opinions are highly subjective. Among my personal favourites on this list are eg. Defencewall, Prevx and Winpatrol.

    Disclaimer: Many of these programs may harm your PC (especially when misused). Use at your own risk.

    Probably the best free security list in the world

    Non-free products have been included if a) there is no free alternative, b) the product is good and licence is for lifetime, c) the product is exceptionally good and recommended by many professionals. The products are often in the order "better is more close to the top", but such opinions are highly subjective. Among my personal favourites on this list are eg. Defencewall, Prevx and Winpatrol.
