Software and hardware that we use:
Name & Link Description
VistaDb dotnet Embedded database system. We use VistaDb from Gibraltar Software as the database system that goes out with (embedded inside) our software install file.
MalwareBytes Anti-virus MalwareBytes is the best anti-virus investment that anybody can make for their computer. It has saved our computer systems several times and for that we are extremely greateful.
On a score of 1::10 we would give MalwareBytes a score of 10 whilst for Avast we would only give it a score of 2.
This is because MalwareBytes actually fixes the infection problem, whilst Avast tries to sell you something extra to fix it.
Together MalwareBytes and Avast work together to keep our software development system clear of any viruses and malware.
However the primary anti-virus system will always be the actual user by never opening untrusted emails and not viewing untrusted content.
Avast Anti-virus We switched over to Avast after purchasing a license from Lavasoft and then purchasing another license from AVG.
We found that Avast Free version is better than the purchased versions of Lavasoft Adaware and AVG.
Desk PDF from Docudesk We use this whenever we need to create a PDF document from any word processing or other software.
Techsmith Snagit Since 2005, we have used this screen capture and editing software for all our icon and other image generation functions, both within our software and website.
