Hijack This is the best tool for destroying viruses.

Hijjack this kicks ass!

What are these two pieces of software?

Revelation = mouse over those atrixed out passwords in your desktop programs and it lets you know what the password is. Very helpfull if you have a bunch of them in your ftp program or whatnot, need it but can not remember it.

Topdesk = Instead of having to go through layer upon layer of open programs just to get back to your desktop, use TopDesk. It puts an icon in your taskbar, then when clicked, shows in alphabetic order all of the programs on your desktop. Scroll to one and click it is open.

There are two reasons to use this program as opposed to any other. The first is that with the programs in alphabetic order they are really easy to find. The other is that if you use the optional animated icon you can tell when your system is hung real easy
