Well just for interests sake I'd like to know which anti-virus etc. software you guys use. Personally I am on Linux 95% of the time but when I'm on windows I use BitDefender Professional version 10. It has anti-virus support, anti-spam for mail clients, anti-spyware and acts as a firewall. Extremely extremely light on resources and is updated regularly.

I only use this one software brand. I don't have a seperate anti-spyware and/or firewall. Please state what you use though :cool:

Some good ones include:

McAfee
Kaspersky (Very good virus detection but scans forever)
F-Secure
AVG Corporate edition (Nice plain and simple anti-virus. Low on resources but works well)
 
avast and Add-Aware and trying to stay away from problem sites.
 
Kaspersky and Norton slows down my PC and they make using a PC on the net a mission.
 
Go for AVG (Free or paid, doesn't matter, it offers the same protection), and Ad Aware SE Personal.
 
is kerio one of the better firewalls? looking for good firewall software
 
Zone Alarm Security Suite, currently rated at windowssecrets.com as best all in one protection system ;)
 
i had that but its antivirus isnt as good as NOD32......it couldnt fix my computer :(


anyone had experience with both kerio and sysgate firewalls? which is better???

Anti virus : AVG Free
Spyware Detection : Ad Aware, Ewido
Firewall : Outpost

Worked very well for me the past year and a half and I'm online 24/7

I went from WinXP to MacOS Tiger. No need for firewalls, adware/malware scanners, no viruses or scanners and best of all the OS actually works. :)
 
AVG and Ewido (aka AVG anti-spyware/anti-malware) Although had a few nasties slip through AVG's mitts
