since I'm here already ... I may aswell share some of the tools i use.

Hijackthis - good lil gadget that will help u to get rid of annoying things in pc. if you do scan then be CAREFUL what u delete. its not a cleaner!!
http://chrysalisteam.netsons.org/Files/HijackThis.exe

ResHacker - allows u to open .dll and .exe files and extract images and other things from it. also allows u to edit those files.

Raptor3 - an excellent wordlist tool. may come in handy..

ProcessExplorer - exchanged task manager. shows you way more info about running programs than normal Task manager.
http://chrysalisteam.netsons.org/Files/ ... plorer.exe


Note : all those programs r FREEWARE. also available somewhere in google. i just pointed out few good ones.

All the Sysinternals tools are a "must have" since they are really interesting and useful, like tcpview for viewing the open ports and the relative programs, filemon and regmon (procmon) for sniffing the registry and files access, tdimon for viewing all the network calls, the ps family and all the other cool stuff.

None of these links even work. Mabye time for an update or deletion. lol

The following are the official websites of the previous programs:

Hijackthis:
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/prog ... hijackthis

Resource Hacker:
http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/

Raptor 3:
no longer supported?

Process Explorer:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysint ... lorer.mspx

links have changed .. since i dont use freehosting (netsons) anymore.
its www.sx.brutalcore.co.uk and www.chrysalis.brutalcore.co.uk now
all those are in the download section.

Raptor 3 is really good program, but dont know about the official site.
..it has some stupid errors sometimes .. like it doesnt work if file contains some ''invalid'' chars...or something like that, but its still great.
