| LINK CENTRAL for Security Programs There are so many different threads going on right now pertaining to Anti-Trojan, Anti-Virus, Spyware, Adware, General security, packet sniffers, what programs to use, what sites to visit....!?!!??!?
This humble post simply attempts to cull some of the redundancies in the various threads, and centralize some of the information. Some of the information/links in here has been extracted from many other great posts around the DSLR security forum; much of it has been from my own every-day surfing, and the rest from hackers and computer gurus (much more knowledgeable than me) here at my company.
So without further ado, a little list of links I hope will provide many with convenience and ease:

New York, NY | Very good list, I know you put a lot of work into it. Maybe everyone can one or two links of their own to add the list?
Here are my two;
Spyware information : http://www.voiceofthepublic.com/IsYourFreewareSpyware.html
NEOTrace: http://www.neotrace.com/ |

Thanks for the effort, RD. A helpful list, and Emilio's idea is great. This will be a good reference thread.  |

| reply to EmilioG
Sure everyone can add; everyone is bound to have personal "favorites" that do not appear on my list. Hopefully this thread can be a repository of useful and PRACTICAL links.
BTW, www.voiceofthepublic.com/IsYourFreewarespyware.html
is a great site; I spend a lot of free time in their message forum, however I felt that much of the same spyware info can be found at http://www.alphalink.com.au/~johnf/spyware.html.
Thanks. |

WoW RDionysus,
Welcome to the forums,won't be long before your spinning with stars after posts such as these.
I had been attempting a similar post,but yours has way more valuable links than I could find.
Hopefully JANDOENT will add some of his and we will have a thread worthy of referencing to for many topics.
GREAT JOB

»www.securityfocus.com is one of the sites that I have come up on my home/main page for DSLR. That was one of those that Justin had as an option with (Customize boxes..) found right under the Special feature..

What a great idea this thread is!!
gwion the securityfocus link is absolutely ggggggreat!!
In my travels I stumbled on Sys-Security Group well worth a gander--their focus right now seems to be an issue which I had to deal with just a short time ago--ICMP vulnerabilities.
I wonder if anyone out there has had any experience with Security Port Scanner or Port Detective ? |

Strange thing about this site, when you (I) click on the link to look at the information on the Macromedia Flash player vulnerability, I get a plain page that says, "What do you think you are doing?" Does anyone else get this "reply" when you click on that link? What does that mean? |

New York, NY | BTW, I forgot to mention that Norton Internet security popped up with a security alert asking me if I wanted to block a certain piece of information from going out, and when I click BLOCK, I get that "what do you think you are doing" message. I will look into this further. I already Emailed Security Focus about it. |

Nice List! A small remark though; TDS is priced in Australian $; so un US$ the price is a lot cheaper.
By far the best anti-trojan at this very moment, btw.

Both are good. My company purchased both. In particular I found Security Port Scanner very effective.
I wonder if anyone out there has had any experience with Security Port Scanner or Port Detective ?
