AVG Free was mentioned in my list before, and it must be in this
list as well. It is probably the most used free antivirus software out
there. It provides great antivirus and antispyware protection, and it
also uses Safe Search which helps protect you from those bad webpages
that can sometimes come up in your search results.
Avast is often seen as the biggest competitor to AVG Free due to its
simplicity and ease of use. In addition to the normal protection, I
find the P2P and IM shield to be a great feature of this client.
However, there is one negative with this client. You will have to take
the time to register it in order to keep using it. This registration
is free, but it does take time. Are you lazy like me?
Anti Vir has been gaining a lot of support from the techies around
the Internet. I believe the basis from this comes from great
protection with the ability to scan up to 20% faster than other clients.
Bitdefender provides the same basic virus and spyware scanning, and
it adds immediate scanning, a skinable interface and statistical
reports. The reports are always a nice touch, because some people want
to know everything that is going on with their computer.
Comodo provides a very basic antivirus software that is easy to
use. It also has an extremely small memory footprint, so you can
actually do other things while it is running on your computer.
Clamwin is obviously the most basic antivrius on the list, but that
isn’t always a bad thing. Clamwin may not be as robust as some of the
others on the list, but if you don’t need lots of bells and whistles
this would be a great choice.

Thanks to Google chrome,webkit browsers are being released almost every week and one such browser for Mac OS X available for download is Stainless browser.Inspired by Google chrome,Stainless browser has features resembling Google’s chrome! We know that the initial development of Chrome for Mac is underway,Mac users will find Stainless browser useful as the features of this browser are similar to Chrome (lets say Chrome clone ;) )
Just like Chrome,the Stainless browser uses up memory for each tab and has the feature to kill pages/tabs which consumes more memory or stops responding i.e, each tabs opened in Stainless browser runs in a separate process.

Here are some of the features of stainless Mac OSX browser
- Multi processing browse
- Easy tab dragging between windows
- Single bar to search and type url
- Private browsing mode
Currently Stainless is available for Mac OS X leopard users and is
free to download.Many new features of managing bookmarks and downloads

PHPMyAdmin has many features, but it’s slow. Personally I think I use around 30% of what it has to offer. So I searched around for other lighter and faster alternatives and found not one, but two.
1. SQL Buddy
Features:
* no setup (works out of the box )
* reduced load time, because it’s AJAX based
* import - export, which is a must
* it’s open - source

2. PHP Mini Admin
Features:
* single file package, extremely portable
* it has all the basic features: insert, select, create, etc.
* it’s open - source
* import - export
