Returnil Virtual System Personal Edition 
http://www.returnilvirtualsystem.com/index...rvspersonal.htm Current version: 
1.6.2.4107/1.7 Beta Free with product registration for Home users on a single 
computer Platforms supported: WinXP/Server 2003/Vista 32-bit 

Returnil Virtual System is a powerful technology that clones a copy of your 
System Partition in memory and can create a file-based Virtual Partition where 
you can save documents, data, and files while using the System Protection 
feature. Returnil Virtual System protects your computer from harmful viruses, 
spyware and unwanted programs, preserves your computer settings, and ensures 
your internet privacy. Simply restart your computer to erase all changes. 

When the Returnil protection is ON, your Windows system is running on a virtual 
partition meaning that every single change in the system partition actually 
takes place in memory. Therefore, all data and modifications will be lost after 
your system reboots. By restarting you PC, Returnil will discard all attempted 
changes made to your System Partition while Protection is ON. 

When the Returnil Protection is OFF, you can install or remove any programs, 
create documents, install security upgrades and software patches, alter 
configurations, and update user accounts. All changes in the system partition 
will remain following a reboot. 

Returnil Virtual System differs from every other product that claims to provide 
the same protection for these compelling reasons: 

1. Faster, stronger, better - Returnil Virtual System uses advanced technology 
to clone your computer's System Partition in memory rather than on a portion of 
your Hard Disk Drive. This not only introduces obvious performance 
enhancements, but also does its part in helping to reduce overall disk use and 
wear. 

2. Their design philosophy - Simplicity of design and implementation is their 
core mission. They see no compelling reason why computer security needs to be 
complex in order to be effective. 

3. Their commitment to the fight - They take this seriously. Their core values 
demand that they contribute to the fight against Malware, which is why they are 
offering Returnil Virtual System 2007 free for personal home use without any 
limitations in the software! Business, Government, Educational Institutions, 
and Non-profit organizations are still required to purchase licensing. 

Features The Returnil Virtual System: Keeps your System Partition safe when 
browsing the Internet Viruses, Trojans, Worms, Adware, Spyware, and unwanted 
content disappear with a simple reboot Enforces settings and protects your 
internet privacy Helps reduce overall disk wear by using memory rather than HDD 
cloning technology Saves you time, money, and lost hair by maintaining or 
improving peak computer performance Reduces or eliminates the need for routine 
disk de-fragmentation of your system partition Your spam filter is strong, but 
not infallible - Returnil will eliminate the consequences of opening infected 
e-mail and/or attachments Leaves absolutely no traces of computer activities 
Eliminates all activities even if your computer is powered-off or crashes 
Eliminates the danger of evaluating new software that does not require a reboot 
to install Offers stronger, simpler and smarter protection for your PC Seamless 
integration with supported Windows Operating Systems Easy to use, simple to 
configure, and the one tool in your arsenal that will be there to save the day 
when all else fails!

PC Tools ThreatFire 
(Formerly Cyberhawk) Current Version: 2.0.2.12 http://www.threatfire.com/ 
(Formerly http://www.novatix.com/Cyberhawk/ ) Freeware Supported Platforms: 
Windows Vista, Windows XP SP1 or SP2 (Home, Pro & Media Center Editions), 
Windows 2000 SP 4 with Update Rollup 1, or Windows 2003 

ThreatFire protects when your antivirus can't. 

Unlike an antivirus that checks for virus signatures, it watches for -- and 
blocks -- suspicious behaviors as they occur. Will your antivirus catch the 
latest virus that just came out today? No. It doesn't know how to recognize it 
yet. But ThreatFire's ActiveDefense technology does, and has proven to provide 
up to 243% more protection when combined with traditional AntiVirus products. 
See the table here: http://www.threatfire.com/about/#chart ThreatFire's 
patent-pending ActiveDefense technology offers protection against all types of 
internet threats - both known and unknown - spyware, adware, keyloggers, 
viruses, worms, Trojans, rootkits, buffer overflows, and other malware. 
ThreatFire uses its unparalleled protection to hunt down and paralyze those 
threats that are either too new or too clever to be recognized by traditional 
"signature-based" antivirus software. 

ThreatFire does not rely on signatures, but instead constantly analyzes your 
computer's behavior to detect and block any malicious activity. This should be 
good with zero-day viruses. ThreatFire continually protects your PC against 
attacks by detecting malicious behavior, such as capturing your keystrokes or 
stealing your data, instead of only looking for known threats like normal 
antivirus software. By implementing sophisticated real-time behavioral analysis 
ThreatFire is able to stop never- before-seen "zero-day" threats solely by 
detecting their malicious activity. 

ThreatFire is dramatically different to traditional antivirus software. Normal 
antivirus products usually need to have first identified and seen a threat 
before they can provide adequate protection against it. The protection is then 
provided via a signature or fingerprint update, which must first be written by 
an antivirus researcher. This creates a large window of time where threats are 
undetected and can therefore infect your PC even when you have antivirus 
software installed. 

ThreatFire is advanced technology designed especially for people, not just 
experts. It has the highest level of out-of-the-box accuracy. No need to 
configure baffling, technical security settings: just turn ThreatFire on and 
start blocking malware. 

It works alongside your current security programs - there is no need to 
uninstall your antivirus, anti-spyware, firewall or other security program 
before installing ThreatFire. 

ThreatFire now includes advanced protection features including malware 
quarantine and removal, rootkit scanner and custom rules settings in both the 
Free and Pro versions. 

Important warning: Do your testing on a PC other than the one you depend on. 
This is pre-release and you may encounter difficulties.

Comodo BOClean : Anti-Malware Version Current version: 4.25 Freeware 
http://www.comodo.com/boclean/boclean.html Platforms supported: Win 2000 & XP 
(w/ or without service packs) 

What it can do - Destroys malware and removes registry entries - Does not 
require a reboot to remove all traces - Disconnects the threat without 
disconnecting you - Generates optional report and safe copy of evidence - 
Update automatically from a network file share 

BOClean watches memory, registry, and the file system waiting for malware to 
load up and then shuts them down before they have a chance to operate. This is 
the ONLY method which ensures that malware cannot steal your data since it 
never got a chance to do its dirty deeds. In addition, it removes all of their 
hooks and restores your system to its original condition AUTOMATICALLY. No 
removal instructions to look up and apply manually, no downtime. BOClean runs 
automatically in the background without interfering with your work and kills 
malwares INSTANTLY the moment they activate without giving them the chance to 
invade your machine. BOClean also eliminates the need to stop what you're doing 
to secure your machine after it's too late. Unlike antivirus programs, BOClean 
will actually shut them down and destroy them without the need for you to seek 
out the method of removal or risking dangerous editing of your system's 
innermost configurations. BOClean requires no technical skills and handles 
detection, removal and repair of your system automatically. 

BOClean protects you against a full spectrum of malware, automatically removing 
these programs from memory, your hard disk and your registry without the need 
to reboot or drop your internet connection. BOClean safely neutralizes these 
threats instantly without any risk of damage to your files or computer. Updates 
are FREE, and the update download and installation process is (or, in the case 
of network deployment, can be) completely automated. 

BOClean can be setup to update automatically from a network file share. It can 
also be hidden on a desktop to protect against tampering by end users. Because 
it is automatic and runs in the background, there is no need to depend on user 
training or vigilance to secure your network. It is also excellent for 
individual users and "home" networks. BOClean will shut down an intrusion long 
before the person on the other end has a chance to so much as "ping" the 
victim's machine, much less start grabbing data. When an intrusion occurs, 
BOClean will stop it instantly. No other security program from any other 
manufacturer works this way. 

BOClean will SAFELY remove malware without the need to reformat and reinstall 
the operating system as has been recommended by some "security experts". 
BOClean is designed for both single user and network scenarios and can be 
customized for any network or institutional situation. It can be run 
continuously as a background application to watch and wait for malware to 
appear (recommended) or it can be configured to run once, permitting manual 
scans (not recommended) from a desktop icon. 

BOClean is designed to run quietly without intrusion if no malware "attack" 
exists and will scan through any suspicious files with signature analysis to 
preclude false alarms or possible damage to valid configurations. 

BOClean is designed to install itself into the system if installed using the 
SETUP program provided with it. Should malware attempt to install, BOClean will 
stop it instantaneously. 

Think of your antivirus as a burglar alarm. BOClean is a motion detector. 

BOClean Features - Destroys malware and removes registry entries - Does not 
require a reboot to remove all traces - Disconnects the threat without 
disconnecting you - Generates optional report and safe copy of evidence - 
Automatically sweeps and detects INSTANTLY in the background - Configurable 
"Stealth mode" completely hides BOClean from users - Update automatically from 
a network file share - Protects itself from malware tampering or shutdown - 
FREE daily malware database updates from our web site - Update file can be 
shared/pushed on a server for easy maintenance - Optional rollback of update to 
an earlier version - Full spectrum malware coverage and protection
