Don't know etaf. I like small no install programs too. But sometimes you still get .ini files added to the system folde.

Removing WinAudit

Because WinAudit did not install any files onto the computer, there is no un-install procedure. Simply delete the programme file WinAudit.exe and possibly WinAudit.ini that may have been created. If you created a desktop shortcut, you should delete that as well.

Another good program is AnalogX DLL Archive.

I spent this morning re-reading all of the posts. I did not see (or I overlooked) anything about Zone Alarm. A very small program that alerts a user notification of an appending security breach. Also it will notify the user if it should allow other programs to access the net. Use this to stop apps from 'pinging' back home. I've been using this for over two years now and has never let me down.

This is a follow up from an earlier post at

These two programs are a must for todays programmers or wanna-be hackers.

Zone Alarm do a free version for home/personal use

"ZoneAlarm from Zone Labs, Inc.
This is my favorite firewall. Made by Zone Labs, it will render your computer invisible to hackers’ probes. Hackers run scanning programs over the Internet, looking for computers with electronic openings, called ports. A good firewall such as ZoneAlarm makes your computer invisible to the scanners.

The goal of these intruders is to place a Trojan horse on your computer. The rogue program uses the open port previously identified by a scanner. However, ZoneAlarm blocks those transmissions. They can only go through if you agree. Always say no, unless you recognize the program.

Cost: Free for personal use" - Kim Komando

Here is a faster link to the Zone Alarm download page. It is 10mb in size.

I have a friend who used to use the free version, he says unless you're willing to pay for more than just the firewall, it has very few advantages over the built-in windows security suite.
However, I suppose if you're using anything below xp it would be good to have.

just tried CCleaner, must say am very impressed!

Doesn't Zone Alarm also allow you to block unwanted outbound traffic ?
Did I hear somewhere that Zone Alarm was bought out by the competition and won't be around much longer ?

Haven't heard that about ZA - but Sygate WAS recently bought out, and no longer support the free version of their firewall.

jnibori · 26-Feb-2006, 12:41 PM **#659**

Noyb -

Yes, with ZoneAlarm you can set "rules" to prevent applications/programs from accessing the Internet.

See HERE

The application control allows you to decide which applications can and cannot use the Internet.

Too bad about Sygate. been a user for years. Always been my favorite, just because I've grown accustom to it.

peerguardian is an ip blocker... works a treat. free, and huge blacklists to be gotten frm the net. i'd use it over zone alarm
