Zemana Antilogger Free
K9 Web Protection
Toolwize Time Freeze

[Zorro]

By the way, it seems that Zemana Antilogger also entered the category of programs whose development has been stopped. It hasn't been updated in over two years, and no updates are expected.



And once it was a wonderful program )

HiJackThis
I had no more wisdom than getting logs.

I thought it was completely a thing of the past, but it seems that it is still evolving.

[Nautilus]

some more golden oldies , in days of dialers , lop , hijackers and so on! the days that spyware scanners where standalone products!

avg antispyware , giant antispyware and webroot spysweeper

 

[mlnevese]

Giant and Spysweeper were huge back in the day. It's amazing how some great software just disappear. Giant was bought by Microsoft back in 2004 and Spysweeper belongs to Webroot.

The XSOS firewall xSOS AI enhanced Firewall

Quite probably the most powerful internet tool ever devised, you could run scans on any website, see every ip address you connect to when opening that site, get detailed information about those addresses and create block lists of those addresses you did not want to connect too, like facebook, I had every known ip adress of facebook blocked and a host of others, giving me the cleanest, securest, and fastest surfing experience I ever had.

Unfortunately I had to do a complete OS reinstall a while back and can no longer use the software because the company vanished from the internet so it can't be re-activated.

I did not think it would last long however as it gave the user way to much control over the internet for the powers that be to let it exist.
