Opinions On Software Please

Hi All,

I am curious to find out your opinions on the following.

Safe XP http://www.theorica.net/safexp.htm

Secure It and Harden It http://www.sniff-em.com/

Which do you think is better?

Im looking for suggestions as they are both free pieces of software.

Thanks as always,

Jag

 

safe xp would be better for the average user in my opinion. see screen shot

 

Thanks for the follow up bigc.

Has anyone here used these pieces of software? Any pros/cons?

Regards,

Jag

 

I use safexp and think it is a useful piece of software it has some very useful functions for windows functions such as WMP auto update and IE controls. another very useful app is XP-antispy here which is also free

 

Thanks bigc once again.

I was thinking of trying XP-antispy but I had heard some negative stuff on it some time ago (not on these forums however).

I will dl it addition to SafeXP.

Regards,

Jag

 

I think SafeXP is a good one, you can always go back as shown in the attached shot

 

I use all three, they all do different things and complement eachother quite well. You can roll back any changes made by all of them, and the "recommended" settings work quite well (for all.) Unless you are on a network and share harddrive space with other computers, you should not notice any difference after running them. Also, if you don't mind paying $25, you can try Qwik-Fix, which works very well and auto-updates. Qwik-Fix does most things that SecureIt does and some more, including protection for some 3rd party apps.
