RogueRemover
"RogueRemover is a utility that can remove various rogue antispyware, antivirus and hard drive cleaning utilities. Rogue applications are applications that rather than remove spyware, provide false positives, distribute malware or spyware, advertise, or provide useless uninstallers. The main point is that rogue applications are useless and eat up system resources.
RogueRemover has the ability to completely remove WinAntiSpyware/WinAntiVirus, SpyAxe, VirusBlast, VirusBursters and many more!"

Even though this isn’t a program, it still is useful in quickly diagnosing your computer and seeing if it has malware.
Some great utilities from http://www.bluetack.co.uk
Blocklist Manager
An excellent tool for managing and updating your block list for varius apps.
Protowall
Protowall is a lightweight program that runs in the background, taking up little CPU and memory, while blocking thousands of bad IP addresses.
HOSTS Manager
The HOSTS Manager is a program to maintain your HOSTS file. You will be able to download directly the HOSTS file maintained at Bluetack, append other HOSTS files to your existing one, replace your HOSTS file by a new one, create a back-up and restore it, add, edit, delete entries and much more… You can use your personal inclusions and exclusions lists. It will not import duplicate and invalid entries. You can also check if your HOSTS file contains invalid domains, thus invalid entries. A must have application.
Some windows explorer addons:
ClipName, AttrMenu, ExecParam:
1° - ClipName is also a Context Menu extension copying the full pathname of the right-clicked file to the clipboard. This new version supports copy of multiple filenames either as a space separated list or as a CRLF separated list. DOS filenames (8.3) can now also be copied as well as the URL encoded name and the UNC name for remote files.
2° - AttrMenu is a Windows Explorer Context Menu extension allowing direct access to a file’s attributes. Much easier than using the Properties dialog box.
3° - ExecParm is another Context Menu extension for Windows Explorer. It allows you to run a program with parameters on the command line.
CPext - Adds a column to Windows Explorer details view that shows the extension part of a filename.
UploadExpress - Upload Express was designed to make uploading a file to a particular location easy! Upload Express currently supports uploading to YouSendIt, ImageShack, and any FTP Server you desire. Upload Express is a Windows Explorer plugin that sits in the context menu. You can select a file, and then right click and Upload!
PS:it seems that the development stoped or something, but I still use it for uploading my troubleshooting screenshots or whatever.
FolderSize - Folder Size for Windows adds a new column to the Windows Explorer details view that displays the sizes of files and folders. A service scans your hard disk in the background and caches the results. Designed for performance!
PS: this is nice, but if you don’t like it and still want some nice disk usage utility, but outside explorer u can use:WINDIRSTAT
new-ext - New-ext extends Windows Explorer context menu with a number of commands that create a directory based on a template you configure.
PS: it keeps crashing my explorer, I have have to restart for the 0.8 version see what is up.
MRename - rename multiple files with two clicks from Windows Explorer.
Proxomitron - http://proxomitron.info/ - “the Universal Web filter was created by Scott R. Lemmon and is a configurable personal web proxy tool. In simple terms, this software intercepts web pages before they reach the web browser, and then alters the page as the user desires by removing or adding code. It can be configured to block popup ads, blinking banners, regular advertisements, annoying sound clips, and almost anything else on web pages, through the use of regular expression filters.” more info on Proxomitron - Wikipedia
It can be tricky to use. “The author, Scott R. Lemmon, died 1 May 2004 at the age of 36.” But there are clones like Proximodo ( http://proximodo.sourceforge.net/ ) . There are other approaches too, like Greasemonkey for Firefox.
Oh, a challenge for you guys: give me a goodie as tastie as VMware… (:KWL)

Ok, I can’t win with the lame VirtualPC2007 (ok, not that lame cause I am using it), but Qemu is a project that deserves some attention. From my part anyway! And there are some really nice GUIs for it.
I am not using it right now, but I did tried with QtEMU gui and…there is something there.
What about Parallels?
Not fair, i mentioned that. It’s kind of related. A goodie with other funtions (:TNG)
Thanks for pointing that out, I made a small mistake when adding a site, and well as you can see the smallest mistake can make a big problem. Anyways its all fixed now.
