Security Programs:
Let's face it. Tweaking must be done only by you, not by some other bad-intentioned persons. That's why you need some good computer security to begin with.
The computer security, at least for me, means 3 thing.
-Protection against virus
-Privacy protection
-Firewalls and blockers that filter the information that cames from my net connection.
A good anti-virus is Kaspersky Antivirus that you can try out for free. Read the little review
here and download it
here.
Other good antyvirus softwares are NOD32, Norton or AVG. Feel free to google them and see how each has it's ups and downs.
The second protection software that everyone should have is a spyware cleaner. Spyware are some sort of tiny virus that take information from you ( like your credit card for example ).SpyNoMore is a good tool that you should try out. It's really grate. The antivirus firewall isn't perfect, that's why you will need this little program to clean up the mess that might be done from time to time. You can find more information about SpyNoMore
here and you can download it
here.
Firewalls... They are very important sometimes. If you are running a small server or intend to do so, a good firewall will came in handy anytime. Prisma Firewall can do a good job for you.Along with the antivirus firewall, your computer will became a fortress for the trojans or other malware. Try it out

I'd like to read the other members opinion about this. Please post here your opinions and your favorite softwares.
As for the moderators, if you could make this a sticky, I'd be glad :D
