Most Popular New Versions of Old Favorites in Q3 2009

Usually we look at the most popular downloads of a month, but sometimes it's good to take a broader view. These new versions of old favorites made impressive debuts from midsummer through early fall 2009. Some are easy, some are expert-level. Almost all are security-oriented, and all but one are free (and even that one offers a free trial).
