ZoneAlarm.
Adaware.
AVG.
Spybot S&D.
Ctrl-Alt-Del.

Know them.  Use them.

AVG? anyone who has ever used AVG Free knows it misses a lot of stuff..  AntiVir  works a lot better and finds many more virsuses than AVG does .. I suggest switching to it

This doesnt really have to do with security but you guys should try out a program called Regseeker. It will remover un-used or invalid registrys from your comp. Just a warning though. Know what youre doing before you do this. If you remove some windows componenet dont come crying to me. :P

Surprise! Some of us actually have to have compatability and share our computers with e-mailing type people.
Other than that, I\'d love to.  :P

I love firefox, btw.  ...my brother still won\'t convert to it though.  :(

How old is your brother? If he is younger than 10, he\'s fine, any older and not using firefox should be a sin :D You couls always use a live cd if you want linux but can\'t install it, slax is a nice one, smallish too.

Using IE at any age is terrible. You should have it removed(or at least dissabled with a firewall) from your PC IMMEDIATLY to avoid being attacked by some virus your brother picks up. Microsoft should be sued into oblivion for installing that backdoor on everybodies PC(it is almost a law that all PCs come with Windows installed. Something about stopping piracy).

I use both Ad-aware and Spy-bot search and destroy. Both of them work well and I use them everday. HEHE. And I use Norton and AVG together with the Spy-ware programs and my firewalls and I have a perfectly safe computer. I also use anti-hacker programs as well. HEHE

Your using two firewalls? and I thought my mom was a moron when it came to computers! (she is a very nice mother really, but computers aren\'t her thing :D ) Using multiple firewalls doesn\'t help at all! they cancel each other out, so your getting no firewall protection! ( I think I\'ll hack your pc to show you what I mean :) ) Uninstall the \"lesser\" firewall, i.e. zonealarm or avast if you have mcafee or norton, if you have just free firewalls, just use avast! for firewalling your pc.

Edit: I type badly, so many spelling errors!

You can try hacking into my computer but you won\'t get in, Trust me. I have some of the best anti-hack programs ever made and my firewalls aren\'t fighting they are actually working together, I think :(

i see no point... and windows is easy, no matter what firewalls, or how many you use.. firewalls made for windows are really just there for a sense of security.. so many backholes are left open for the simplest of things :D

OK i love spy-bot but its outdated itself. now i use webroots spysweeper in combo with an updated norton.
as far as firewall i have my own. also IE shot be deleted as soon as u unbox your PC.   ummm wait first go download firefox then delete burn exorcize pray wish on shooting star. do whatever it take but get IE off your pc.
By the way not getting viruses is not that hard to manage I havent had a virus since 01. and spyware is deleted daily. so my little weak PC works great.....

Mate I have bad news for you no matter how strong you think your set-up is the wall will always fall. It just takes time and the right person with the right abilities don\'t be so confident I would hate to see you suddenly disappear because of your bragging on this thread :P

If it wasn\'t so pitiful, it would be the most hilarious thing I\'ve read this week. :)
