Sunbelt Personal Firewall 4.6.1861

By Sunbelt Software in Non-Commercial Freeware
Protect yourself from hackers. Secure your PC with a 100% free firewall download. Sunbelt Personal Firewall (SPF), previously known as Kerio Firewall, was called "our favorite" by PC Magazine.

The Windows Firewall (both XP and Vista) is worse than useless, it gives you a false sense of security. Why? It only filters incoming traffic. That means if malware has compromised your PC, it is able to send out all your personal info. That's right; the Windows "firewall" does not stop that! But SPF...

    Supports Windows XP and Vista
    Filters both ingoing and outgoing traffic!
    Keeps hackers out and your private info inside.
    Works great with VIPRE Antivirus + Antispyware
    Easy to use and does not slow down your PC!

Rootkit Revealer 1.71

By Microsoft SysInternals in Freeware
RootkitRevealer is an advanced rootkit detection utility. It runs on Windows NT 4 and higher and its output lists Registry and file system API discrepancies that may indicate the presence of a user-mode or kernel-mode rootkit.

RootkitRevealer successfully detects many persistent rootkits including AFX, Vanquish and HackerDefender (note: RootkitRevealer is not intended to detect rootkits like Fu that don't attempt to hide their files or registry keys).

Since persistent rootkits work by changing API results so that a system view using APIs differs from the actual view in storage, RootkitRevealer compares the results of a system scan at the highest level with that at the lowest level. The highest level is the Windows API and the lowest level is the raw contents of a file system volume or Registry hive (a hive file is the Registry's on-disk storage format).

Thus, rootkits, whether user mode or kernel mode, that manipulate the Windows API or native API to remove their presence from a directory listing, for example, will be seen by RootkitRevealer as a discrepancy between the information returned by the Windows API and that seen in the raw scan of a FAT or NTFS volume's file system structures.
