This utility will help you greatly if you have a lot of adware and spyware on your computer. Even if you manually kill a process with the Task Manager, a sibling process will often restart it immediately. Using Process Patrol, you can now take back some control over these malware processes. This tool kills unwanted processes on your machine, with a scan schedule that you specify. Your freeware will startup successfully along with its adware, but then Process Patrol kills the adware processes, freeing up your memory and CPU cycles.

8) Question of the Month about Technical Training:

Each month Scott Turton will answer a current or important question that we have received about computer and IT training and career development.


May 2007 Question of the Month: 

What are the best Free, Open Source Security Tools available that can be used in a complex or enterprise network environment?

Answer:
In my opinion, here are the best open source security tools available today.

Snort is a network intrusion prevention and detection system tool that uses a rule-driven language. It provides signature, protocol and anomaly based inspection methods. Snort is the most widely deployed intrusion detection and prevention technology worldwide.

OSSEC is a Host-based Intrusion Detection System that does log analysis, integrity checking, Windows registry monitoring, rootkit detection, real-time alerting and active response. It runs on most operating systems, including Linux, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, MacOS, Solaris and Windows. 

Bro Intrusion Detection System is a Unix and Linux-based Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS) that passively monitors network traffic and checks for suspicious activity. Bro's analysis includes detection of specific attacks (defined both by signatures and events) and unusual activities that are compared to malicious patterns.

Nagios is an enterprise-class monitoring solutions for hosts, services, and networks. It is totally modular and permits users to extend its functionality through plugins

Nessus Vulnerability Scanner version 2 is available for free as open source. It scans devices and identifies remote flaws in your network and enterprise, and also verifies that the host is not compromised and has up-to-date patches.


I hopes this help you.
