O pessoa do site Techzone fez uma lista extemamente útil dos melhores softwares (freewares ou sharewares) em cada segmento alguns servem tanto para linux quanto para windows.
Muitas vezes acabamos optando por um software pago por desconhecer seus pares gratuitos que por experiencia própria às vezes são tão bons ou até melhores que os pagos. Para quem quiser testar está ai a lista! Nela destaco os aplicativos de segurança tão indispensáveis nos dias de hoje (ainda mais se você tem banda larga) mantenha seus dados seguros!
