ClamWin
http://www.clamwin.com - main public page
http://sourceforge.net/projects/clamwin - also a source forge page
ClamWin is an open source product and so is completely free. It has no active scan. Combine it with Winpooch Watchdog which adds an active antivirus scan (using ClamWin's definitions) and some adaware active scanning, and adaware scanning services. ClamWin comes with no definition when installed and its first job is to go grab one.
WinPooch stands alone and is a handy way of monitoring activity on your Windows System directory and the Registry - you should only really see these alerts when installs or Windows Updates are going on - however they can timeout some install processes. -
THE VERDICT - AVG versus ClamWin
ClamWin is a geeks complex solution and has the advantage of open source should you like to code in it but AVG is definitely easier and more professional to use. It would be perfect to give to a noob all set up except that it doesn't remove viri automatically.
In either case WinPooch is a good pick up - although you will get a lot of alerts :) I also like to have FireFox ask me for every cookie which gives you more control (Allow always, Allow for session, Deny) but again means lots of alerts! -
Windows XP Password Crack
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ophcrack
Whilst searching SourceForge found this Windows XP Password cracker which looks like a good free version of some of the other utilities used in a previous story. This is handy if a user has forgotten all their passwords but wants to get their personal info back (this is lost if you reinstall or override their password).
