I've also decided to leave this as a discussion/recommendation thread, post here your thoughts and any other recommendations you have and a few reasons as to why you like that specific program. If you believe these are viruses, by all mean run a scan beforehand. I do realise these programs listed are only a percentage of whats out there, hence why I would like others recommendations.
