RE: [Re-post] Suggestions for basic software for security

Free security software:

1. Anti-Trojan software. Anti-Virus won't pick up some Trojans and hacker tools. You can download a free Anti-Trojan tool, Swat-It from www.lockdowncorp.com
2. Ad-Aware software. Get rid of spyware or advertisement that are installed on your system just by surfing on the web. You can download the free Ad-Aware from www.ad-aware.com
3. Anti-Virus - free Anti-Virus is from the AVG Free Edition. You get updated virus definition too. You can get this from www.grisoft.com.

In fact the (second, after defensive capabilities) purpose of my request is to have some (basic) software to learn the concepts of security (at least the basic ones).
