SpamAware – spam filter for Outlook

http://www.jam-software.com/

SpamAware is an Outlook add-in that uses the SpamAssassin engine to score email as it arrives in your inbox, and marks potential spam with a tag in the subject line, or automatically moves it to a JunkMail folder. SpamAware also supports Blacklist/Whitelist entries and can automatically add people that you communicate with to the Whitelist. Works well, but scanning of emails is very slow.

Advanced Process Manipulation – Attach to process and kill http://www.diamondcs.com.au/freeutilities/apm.php Version: 1.1 (version history) Size: 44KB Date: August 16, 2005 License: Freeware 0 OS: Win 2000/XP DiamondCS Advanced Process Manipulation (APM) is an advanced process/module viewer and manipulation utility that allows unique control over target processes by literally becoming a part of them. Take control of a process by becoming a part of it … Unlike conventional process viewers, DiamondCS APM doesn't control processes by remotely sending them instructions. Instead, APM safely attaches a part of itself to the target process, essentially becoming a part of that process. Once 'inside', APM is free to perform actions on behalf of the target process. For example, if it calls the ExitProcess API function, the target process terminates. Control processes in ways that aren't conventionally possible … Because of this 'insider' nature, APM is able to do some remarkable things that aren't otherwise possible. For example, it can unload and load DLLs into the target process (allowing you to make plugins for virtually any program). It can even determine which ports the target process is using. APM has even proven its unique anti-trojan capabilities here in our lab by disinfecting an explorer.exe-infecting usermode-rootkit trojan from a test machine. It also serves as a useful way to see which modules are loaded in each process!
