lol, it's gotta do with the fact that most of my school knows how to bypass filters via proxy, and a few of the others know how to actually crash the filter in the server.  It's hillarious sometimes, I got buddies who like to just cause the school's internet to go down for a while, just for kicks.

My school is pretty liberal when it comes to what we can do on the computers.  We don't have individual logins, we can bring in CDs and Flashdrives and just use them, but they've got a few programs that screw us over...shit like DeepFreeze (Resets the computer to a pre-saved setup when the PC is restarted), and the server has "Websense" (More like Nosense) to block sites.  They also use Vision to selectively monitor our computers, take control of them, and even block our net (One of my friends has a teacher on probation because the teacher used Vision to steal and delete information from his flashdrive).  The computers are also unable to be put in Administrator mode (Through backdoors or anything).

Some teachers (The ones who actually have brains and have maintained individuality from the district borganism) have started speaking out against network limitations, mainly arguing over the fact that the internet is free domain and no one should be allowed to censor stuff as they see fit (Example:  Blocking porn = Okay, Blocking all videos = bad).  Hopefully the dumbfucks at the district will actually learn and they'll become a little less strict...I mean, I know science teachers who are pissed that we have to find/make new proxies just to get on Youtube.

Little advice:  Look through your school rules and see if there's anything regarding student petition.  If you wanna get a rule changed, that's how to go.

I'm curious as to NOD32, but I can't find a free version on their site.  The programs in this list are all free, thus why they're in the list.

It's not free, but it's damn worth the money.

One thing I absolutely HATE about Norton... it takes a LOT of you're system resources, like Vista's Aero, or probably worse.

I've developed a stronger hate for Norton these days.  My friend's dad bought her a laptop.  Well, it wasn't so bad as to the fact that it was an Acer with half a gig of ram and Windows Vista, but that is also had Norton installed, a bunch of these "performance" programs, some crappy theme changers, and of course, Aero.  The combined resource hogging of all these programs were the death of the laptop until I started fucking with it, and the thing runs fairly well now (Although it needs a RAM upgrade badly).  Going back on topic...as Blizzard has already done, you could submit new programs for the list, along side your own evaluation.  Btw, I have a friend who uses NOD32 and I may add it to the list, although it's likely to be the only pay-to-use program that will appear here.

Free utilities... Well, not as useful as an anti-virus program but CCleaner is one of my favs. It's like a cleanup manager for everything like recycle bin, temp files, lots of other stuff I can't remember now (haven't used it in a while), and even cleaning of things like MRUs from programs like MS Office, Adobe apps, IE, Firefox, (Opera?), and... many other things. It also has a registry cleaner, but I don't use it. Registry doesn't need much cleaning imo. It never caused me any problems in my 4-6 months of usage.

I'll add CCleaner later on when the rest of my brain is on...that was the program I forgot to add...
