Configure your company's firewall to redirect certain domains that carry ads to 127.0.0.1 (or another "black hole" address). This particular Search Windows Security Tech Target page contains a ready-made list of hosts to block. Simply copy and paste into a hosts file, or feed the list into a firewall or routing appliance. Not only does this prevent spyware from being downloaded, it also prevents that much more bandwidth from being eaten up by advertising in general.

Ten free security utilities you should already be using (ZDNET)

Haute Secure - Unlike any other product, prevents malware from attacking your PC. Stop "drive by" malware from loading itself onto your computer when you visit web pages that automatically add malicious programming to your computer; even when you haven't clicked on anything on their web page.

Site Advisor - "since March McAfee has been offering a browser plug-in that works with Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Internet Explorer. Site Advisor puts a little rectangular button in the bottom corner of the browser. If a site you're visiting is safe, the Site Advisor button stays green. When you visit a questionable Web site the button turns red or yellow (depending on the risk level) and a little balloon expands with details on why Site Advisor has rated the site as such."

Free utility looks for missing security patches (7/24/07: ZDNET)

Google updates open-source anti-malware tool (6/11/07)

ThreatFire Free Edition (exe) offers protection against viruses, worms, trojans, rootkits, buffer overflows, spyware, adware and other malware. It uses behavioral analysis to hunt down and paralyze threats that are too new or too clever to be recognized by traditional "signature-based" antivirus software.

Sophos Anti-Rootkit (exe)

CallerIP monitors activity on open ports on your system, which are often not protected by firewalls, and identifies backdoors that could allow harmful Trojans to steal your information.
