The Security Toolbox consists of freeware tools which are related to Windows security. Some of them directly improve security. Some of them indirectly improve security, either by allowing the user to test the security to find the holes, or by illustrating some important point to educate the user about security. The tools are not based on anybody elses source code, and we will not give away the code or give explainations of how the tools are built, so please don't send any mails asking for either . Most of the time they are detected as trojans with names similar to the tool names, this is because the vendor has considered the tool to be a trojan or hacking tool.
More information is available here .
In addition to looking at our own tools here at ntsecurity.nu, we also recommend you to look at some other freeware security tools made by our sponsor GFI .
