And last but not least VG Anti-Rootkit Free
AVG Anti-Rootkit Free is a powerful tool with state-of-the-art technology for detection and removal of rootkits. Rootkits are used to hide the presence of a malicious object like Trojans or keyloggers on your computer. If a threat uses rootkit technology to hide itself it is very hard to find the malware on your PC. AVG Anti-Rootkit gives you the power to find and delete the rootkit and to uncover the threat the rootkit is hiding.
These free products, combined with a properly configured Windows XP or Vista firewall and Internet router will protect your computer from the bad guys with out breaking the bank or drastically slowing you computer down.
As this is the December issue and the last one of the year I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!
