I use a lot that were already mentioned. Here's a few more good ones with broad appeal:

- Spambayes: free Bayesian anti-spam filter add-in for Outlook (http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/).

- CutePDF Writer: free utility that emulates a printer to create PDF files. Select it from your available printers dropdown in the print dialog, and it will create a PDF file from anything.

I'm looking for a free utility that would perform a deep scan for rogue files associated with trojans and key loggers.
I currently use AVG, Sygate and JV16 tools: I think my system is good yet, I do get an uneasy feeling now and then about system integrity
Peace of mind would be a nice place to be in

Hi Wallace,

I've tryed a lot of sweepers and cleaners and other programs.
At one point I had about 9 programs scanning and sweeping and I lost track on whats doing what.
Now I'm using Hitman-pro
This program uses al kind of free cleaning programs and gets practically everything out!!!
It works realy GREAT and I threw away al those trailversions and other crappy half working programs.
I'll try to attach it, otherwise follow this link:
www.hitmanpro.nl/
Though its is in dutch just follow "download" on the right
It also has English language etc..

Good luck cleaning up.

I forgot my favorite:

Konfabulator!

For Mac and XP users, this handy program has everything! Mac has Dashboard as well, but for us XP users, this handy program lets you use a large number of "widgets" for almost anything, including weather info & radar, RSS feeds, stock tickers, eBay & Netflix utilities, daily comics, clocks, calendars, system utility monitors, traffic cameras (even Cincinnati!), etc...

And the fact that Yahoo bought it out recently, and made it FREE to all, makes it hard to resist. A growing gallery of widgets gets updated about every 3 days now!
