http://www.download.com has a decent list of software that is available as freeware and trialware. Just search what you're looking for and it will give results.



Personally, my one stop shop for security is ZoneAlarm by Checkpoint. Checkpoint provides great security for both residential and upto high level corporate. Not so bad on resources unless you're running a virus/spyware scan but it's pretty good at finding things other programs don't find.

I have used AVG Anti Virus, Zone Alarm Firewall, Spy-bot Search and Destroy and Ad Aware both spyware killers for years. They are all free for personal use and I have had no trouble with Viruses Trojans etc. AVG does not slow the system down as much as some other products and Zone Alarm allows a lot of personal configuration unlike the Windows Firewall. They can all be downloaded from download.com I also use Windows Defender from the Microsoft site. It is safe to use two anti-spy products but never use more than one A/V as it can cause conflicts. You should run A/V and anti spy weekly. Hope this helps
AVG is a decent antivirus program but not good. Try avira antivir classic, avast home edition or moon secure antivirus. + also install an antispyware/antimalware software like spybot SD, threatfire free or spywareblaster. Then add a free firewall like comodo firewall pro, ghostwall or kerio personal firewall 4.
There's a simple way to find out if security software is any good or not: Ask to see the Source Code. (That is, the human-readable form of the program, that a competent programmer can understand and make changes to.)
