[edit] Sources
- Testmypcsecurity.com - By Comodo. Provides a long list of tests to download, results for different security software against these tests
- Matousec's Firewall Challenge - The latest Matousec tests, includes download of Security Software Testing Suite
- Firewall leaktester - The original testing site that provided a list of leak tests for download as well as results for different security software against these tests. The leak test results are now out-dated, though the site still maintains Anti-Keylogger Tester (AKLT), the top notch tool for testing keylogger protection.

| While reasonable attempts have been made to avoid the listing of any malicious or ineffective software, an entry listed here should not be taken as a mark of approval from CastleCops. The selection of freeware (see definition) here is more inclusive, to provide more experienced users scope for experimentation and not just the usual half dozen or so freeware security software that are often mentioned. While there are many gems in the list, some are in beta and unstable or require fair amounts of skill to use. Less experienced users should probably refer to Roll your own Free Security Suite for a shorter list of popular and safer freeware. |
