Personally, I prefer the Avast Antivirus. Out of the many products available, it puts one of the smallest drains on system resources (It slows you computer down the least). There is a free version available, and the only valuable feature it lacks is an option to schedule a recurring scan.



I also use Zone Alarm firewall. It also has a free option, but you can upgrade to pro to enable advanced options and Anti-Spyware proteciton.



Look at these products for anti spyware (All have free versions): Adaware, Spybot Search & Destroy and Microsoft Windows Defender.

PERSONAL I WOULD CHOOSE KASPERSKY, NORTON, MCAFEE OR BIT DEFENDER CUZ ALL THE REST SUCK D1CK!!!!!!







FOR A FIREWALL TRY:

ZONEALARM IS THE BEST







TRY THESE PROGRAMS TO:



SPYBOT S&D

Firewall = ???

Spyware = Spybot - Search and Destroy / Ad-aware SE Personal (both are equal)

Virus = avast! Antivirus!

The most important thing to keep in mind, regardless of which anti-virus, anti-malware, anti-spyware and firewall you use is to keep it UPDATED, just as it is important to make sure you have all windows critical and security updates + http://update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us



Note: The way I have mine set is to only notify me that updates are availiable, but to not download them automaticaly. Then I can check to be sure I get just the ones I want. I then click on "custom", and after the updates have been downloaded I look them over to see which ones I want, then disconnect from the net, disable firewall and anti-virus program, and then install the updates, and then re-enable the firewall and anti-virus programs before reconnecting to the net.
