Wow! An extensive archive there - thanks Mac! One glaring ommission, unless these are purely personal recommendations, is Mozilla / Firefox from the Browsers heading. ;) Also, it might be worth mentioning that the links to items on the Aldi / Medion forum require registration / log in.

Nice one, Mac! You may also wish to bookmark Eric Howes' SpywareWarrior (http://www.spywarewarrior.com/uiuc/main-nf.htm) site, which contains by far the most comprehensive collection of links to security tools and apps currently available.

From a couple of other sites I used to subscribe to.

Nice lists.
I wish they rated the files in archives like those.
