Spybot Search & Destroy - A very good spyware removal tool. This is free for home users. (Note: during install do not use the "tea timer" feature as it will slow your machine). Ad-Aware - Another good spyware search product. McAfee Site Advisor - A nice little tool that will show you if a webpage is safe to visit before you even click on the link! Adobe Reader - Keep this product up to date with the newest version as it is a common vector for attack if it's outdated. Adobe Flash - Flash is used extensively on the web. Keep this product updated to increase your security from malicious websites. Java Runtime Environment - Ever play web based games? These use Java. Keep Java updated to reduce the risk from malicious websites. Open Office - An alternative to Microsoft Office.
