Edgar, the virus hunter

Edgar is a programmer who writes antivirus and email utilities for the Compy 386, Lappy 486, and the Corpy NT6 systems. He may live with his mother, as he does all of his programming in various locations inside her house. Edgar is a spoof of the popular Norton Utilities, which also used to have a picture of its creator as its icon. He apparently has many relatives and associates who also write software. All of their software is outdated.

Edgarware

"Now drop a train on 'em!"

Edgarware, or Edgar the Virus Hunter, is Strong Bad's anti-virus program on the Compy 386 and was copyrighted in 1982. He used it in the Strong Bad Email virus, in which it detected 423,827 viruses on the Compy. The viruses caused a Flagrant System Error and ended the computer before Edgarware had time to try to remove them. The program appeared again on Main Page 22. Even later, the floppy disk container for Strong Badia the Free revealed that Edgarware comes in a suite of related applications, including "anti-spam, anti-virus, anti-malware, anti-mail, anti-productivity, and antidisestablishmentarianism software".

This is the splash screen for Edgarware:

Too many 'How do you tweet with boxing gloves on' tweets! Must... drop... train on em!!

Strong Bad, on his Twitter account, says that he uses Edgar's Older Cousin's Pet Ferret: The Redundant Tweet Obliterator to delete Tweets about how he can Tweet with boxing gloves on.

This program has never been shown in action, but its floppy disk reads:

Edgar Jr's Cool Babysitter

"It does when I utilize THIS bad girl!"

Strong Bad uses Edgar Jr's Cool Babysitter's Twee-Mail Converter to convert Tweets to emails, according to @StrongBadActual. The spelling of Edgar Jr's name here indicates that "Edga Jr." may be just a nickname.

Its splash screen reads:

Edgar's Luddite Paw-Paw

"Good thing I've got this old timer workin' for me."

The third Edgar-related software to be introduced by @StrongBadActual, Edgar's Luddite Paw-Paw's Unfortunate Tweet Deleter is what Strong Bad uses to delete unfortunate or confusing Tweets (although it's possible to delete one's own Tweets on Twitter without the use of this program). The Unfortunate Tweet Deleter seems to have been in action at least once, to delete a misleading Tweet about Trogdor!! The Board Game's release date.
