<p>Tuftedduck: </p> <hr /> <div>=='''Anti-Virus Protection'''==<br /> <br /> Antivirus software is installed on the local machine to protect your PC against viruses, trojans and various other types of malware. Antivirus programs run in the background and need to be kept up to date to ensure maximum protection against new threats that are released into the wild practically every day.<br /> <br /> There are many well known brands of AntiVirus software such as [http://www.symantec.com/index.jsp Symantec] or [http://www.mcafee.com McAfee], but we list below a selection of free Antivirus programs.<br /> <br /> <br /> *[http://free.avg.com/us-en/free-antivirus-download AVG] Free Anti Virus for single home users from Grisoft<br /> *[http://www.avast.com/en-gb/index Avast] Free Anti Virus for the home PC.<br /> *[http://www.avira.com/en/avira-free-antivirus Avira] Free Anti Virus for home users.<br /> *[http://www.clamwin.com/ Clam Win] AV for windows - also standalone which can be run from USB pen drive.<br /> *[http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials Microsoft Security Essentials] Free Real time protection for home PCs<br /> <br /> <br /> ''It is not recommended to run more than one AntiVirus program at any one time, as this will likely cause conflicts.''<br /> <br /> <br /> == '''Firewalls''' ==<br /> <br /> <br /> Firewalls work by limiting authorised traffic into the local network. There are two types of firewalls:- Hardware and Software firewalls.<br /> <br /> Hardware firewalls are machines which limit traffic based on specific configuration and rules. Most of today's adsl routers have an inbuilt firewall which can be configured to restrict certain types of traffic on to the local network. Most also use NAT which adds another layer of protection.<br /> <br /> Software firewalls are installed on the local PC to monitor traffic passing to and from that computer.<br /> <br /> There is some debate over whether or not you need a software firewall if you have an adsl router. Personally Ive relied upon various NAT based routers for the past 9 years. If you fully explore the features in the router you will find there are various configurations and most can also be set up for logging. However, the final choice is up to you if you want to also install a software firewall on your PC then below is a list of free software firewalls.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> *[http://www.ashampoo.com/en/usd/pde/0050/Security_Software/Ashampoo-FireWall-FREE/Details Ashampoo] Free Firewall<br /> *[http://personalfirewall.comodo.com/ Comodo] Free Comodo Firewall Pro.<br /> *[http://www.kerio.com/ Kerio] Free software firewall for home and personal use.<br /> *[http://free.agnitum.com/ Outpost] Free Firewall<br /> *[http://www.zonealarm.com/ Zone Alarm] Free software download for personal use<br /> <br /> <br /> ''You should not only rely on a firewall whether it be software or hardware and you also need Antivrus protection installed on each machine.''<br /> <br /> <br /> == '''Spyware and Malware Tools''' ==<br /> <br /> Spyware is often malicious software used to gather personal information about a user or a users system without their knowledge. There are varying degrees of spyware, ranging from simple web tracking to more seriously gathering information about passwords and/or credit cards. The latter is often known as phishing. Phishing often occurs by tricking the user into clicking on a disguised link or opening a malicious file which may have been downloaded from an unscrupulous site or as an email attachment.<br /> <br /> <br /> '''Free Defence Tools against spyware and malware:'''<br /> <br /> *[http://www.lavasoft.com/ Adaware] Free spyware and malware scanner.<br /> *[http://www.safer-networking.org/ Spybot S&amp;D] Spybot Search and Destroy -Free spyware and malware scanner.<br /> *[http://www.anti-spy.info/index.shtml Anti-Spy] Spyware, trojans, keyloggers + adware protection.<br /> *[http://www.microsoft.com/security/default.aspx Windows Defender] Microsoft's Free spyware protection.<br /> *[http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html Spyware Blaster] Free spyware defence from Javacool<br /> *[http://majorgeeks.com/download172.html a-squared Anti-Malware] Malware defence against trojans, worms, diallers, rootkits and spyware.<br /> *[http://www.filehippo.com/download_avg_antispyware/ AVG Anti-Spyware] Formerly Ewido Security Suite - Full features only active for 30 days.<br /> *[http://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/Popup-Ad-Spyware-Blockers/SUPERAntiSpyware.shtml SUPERAntiSpyware] Free Edition does not include real-time blocking or scheduled scanning<br /> *[http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free Malwarebytes]A lightweight, fast and very efficient on-demand scanner which will detect and remove all traces of malware including worms, trojans, rootkits, rogues, dialers, spyware and more.

It is in reality an image organizer and album with some basic editing tools such as straighten, rotate, resize etc. but it does have emailing options.<br /> One for the person who wants to share images without delving into the realms of heavy editing.<br /> <br /> == '''3D modelling.''' ==<br /> <br /> <br /> *Blender http://www.blender.org/<br /> *Google SketchUp http://sketchup.google.com/<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == '''Drawing tools''' ==<br /> <br /> <br /> *Inkscape http://inkscape.org/<br /> *Serif PagePlus http://www.serif.com/desktop-publishing-software <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == '''Painting tools''' ==<br /> <br /> <br /> *Tux Paint (For children) http://tuxpaint.org/<br /> *Dogwaffle http://www.thebest3d.com/dogwaffle/free/<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == '''Icon creators''' ==<br /> <br /> <br /> *Icon-Editor (Windows only) http://www.free-icon-editor.com/<br /> *Icon-Maker ( on line app.) http://www.sherv.net/icon-maker/<br /> *Icon-Maker ( download app.) http://www.sherv.net/icon-maker/<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == '''Colour pickers''' ==<br /> <br /> <br /> *Pixie http://www.nattyware.com/pixie.php<br /> *ColourPic http://www.iconico.com/colorpic/<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == '''Font managers and creators''' ==<br /> <br /> <br /> *Font Explorer http://www.karenware.com/powertools/ptfonts.asp <br /> *FontCreator http://www.fontcreator.com/<br /> <br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> == '''Image resizer''' ==<br /> <br /> *Image Resizer for Windows http://imageresizer.codeplex.com/ <br /> Image Resizer for Windows is a utility that lets you resize one or more selected image files directly from Windows Explorer.</div>
