Very informative show Mike – thanks to you and your guests for pointing me to some interesting sites. Am I right in thinking you have a measure of P2P protection running Avast as it has a P2P shield and a web downloads shield? I’ve never been too sure how well this works.
I’d also like to recommend Steganos Safe One as a simple free way of creating an encrypted container for private files.

GREAT Show Mike.
And what a huge list of apps collected. One more to add though.
A great application for application management on the Mac is 1Password (http://1passwd.com/).

Like SoCalDaveL, I’ll point out a Roboform alternative.
PassPack online password manager. Useful when you change computers often and don’t want to tote around a USB.
Cheers,
