Nixory, aside from having one of the coolest names, is almost an antispyware tool. Almost because it will protect your computer from malicious tracking cookies (and not from any other malicious files). Nixory works with your browser directly, and currently supports Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer (nothing yet for Safari). It also is platform independent (being written in Python) as it runs on Windows, Linux and MacOSx. The most important part of this program is the malicious file definitions, which luckily get updated fast enough for it to be a really useful anti-cookie tool. Nixory doesn't affect any other anti-spyware or anti-virus tools, so there are no conflicts there as you could have Spybot, SuperAntiSpyware or any other full-blown protection suits installed. One interesting feature is that Nixory will create an active shield, which basically means that your browsing will be protected in real-time from tracking cookies.
