8. Anti-Phishing: WOT

Description: WOT is the most accurate anti-phishing tool around. It not only goes by users opinions but also blacklists and whitelists. On top of that it gives you five categories so you know exactly why a site is rated the way it is. Finally it prevents the users from automatically entering a red site. If you wish to enter anyways, just click on the allow button.

9. Password Manager: LastPass

Description: A free alternative to roboform. It allows for auto fill and auto login to websites like roboform but without the limitations. To add security it stores your passwords on an encrypted webpage in which you must login to get into so only you can get your information.

10. Anti-Rootkit: Panda Anti-Rootkit

Description: One of the most simple yet effective anti-rootkit applications. Antivir has this feature available in their anti-virus application. But if you don’t use Antivir, then this is your best bet. Another option is to use Blacklight.

About the Author

My name is Matt.

I test software for a living. Prior to testing software I worked in customer service at a retail store in which I won every sales contest I participated in. I was also the only one to win a secret shopper’s award in the last 4 years.

My belief is to think like the customer and never offer a product you yourself wouldn’t use or recommend to a friend.

I’m developing a download site that caters to the customer. In case you don’t realize it, most download sites allow software developers to upload software to their site, thus compromising the customer’s safety. It turns the customer into the software tester, since a software developer can upload malware and the site not know about it until a customer downloads and installs the rogue software then reports it to the site.
