Name a security suite, and most of what comes to mind are big names: Symantec (NSDQ: SYMC), PC-cillin, McAfee. Maybe Kaspersky or Grisoft AVG. But there’s a whole slew of other system-protection suites out there that are either quite new or not as well known, and which deserve a closer look.
We’ve assembled a survey of five system-protection / antivirus productions that aren’t as widely known (Dr.Web, TrustPort), or that come from companies known mainly for other products (Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT), ESET, Check Point Software (NSDQ: CHKP)). We looked at the total scope of each program — what it covered, what it didn’t, and how it implemented its particular features. Not every security product is going to intercept the same range of threats or handle really outlandish behaviors (like null byte obfuscation), and so the sheer range of features, even within roughly the same price points, was eye-opening.

Tired of Windows crashing? Sick of having software lock up on you or taking forever to load? The problem could be all of those incorrect registry entries caused by software installations and un-installations that went awry!Not all software un-installations do a complete job leaving behind numerous nagging file references in the Windows registry pointing to files that no longer exist. In time, you can end up with hundreds of these files that may slow down your computer and cause software to lock up, requiring a hard reboot of your computer.
The latest version of Registry First Aid is even easier to use and safely fixes more Registry errors than ever before. Helps eliminate system crashes, software lockups and slow loading programs caused by incorrect Registry entries leftover from software installations & uninstallations that went awry. Registry First Aid fixes these problems by removing these references that are no longer needed. Hundreds of these files bog down the registry, slow down your computer and cause software to lock up. RFA 3.0 offers added features that check the registry for unused software entries and “Run” registry entry errors. Also supports adding multiple entries into an excluded list and a new safe invalid path detection algorithm.
Registry First Aid scans registry for orphan file/folder references, finds these files or folders on your drives that may have been moved from their initial locations, and then corrects your registry entries to match the located files or folders. In addition, if your registry has links to files of deleted applications, Registry First Aid will find these invalid entries and remove them from your registry. With Registry First Aid, your Windows registry will be always clean and correct, helping your programs load faster and speeding up your computer. Registry First Aid - Keep it clean and keep it fast!
