Retina (you can download a demo) (Windows)

Snort (Intrusion Detection, incase someone is trying to hack your system, Linux or Windows)

Retina is the only one that costs money, and Nessuss is close to it and free, but Nessuss only runs on Unix / Linux type stuff.
Use these to scan your computer. Retina nad Nessuss will give you a guide of what it found and if it is a security hole, how to fix it.

I completely agree with retina, its a VERY nice program, and best part, it updates everytime its started to see if new security holes have been found. I am not sure about the other appz but thanks dragonhawk for the list, I'll also check them out.
