I mean on your PC, I haven't posted this in the Computers hardware and software forum because I don't have a problem with it.

I use spy sweeper, adaware, symantect antivirus scanner, sygate firewall,, spybot s&d, counterspy, spyware blaster, spy emergency, spy cleaner gold.

All the above I have checked out here http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm and it appears none of what I use shows false positives.

Some of you may think I am a somewhat paranoid, but I say to that, prevention is always better than cure

I have a pop up blocker but its working a bit to well, everytime I start looking at porn and my knob pops up it shuts my computer down.

ROFL

The computer forum isn't just for problems. It's just to keep all the computery stuff away from the flirting n stuff

I stick to the windows firewall, AVG free antiirus, spybot s&d, and just keep sensible about what programs and unidentified extensions I come across, as you say, prevention is the best cure

Im not being funny my advice is az foolows nod32 antivirus the mutts nutts windows defender beta2 best peice ove software from microsoft lol isnt even there code ha ha firefox with noscript addin spybot adaware pro and clam av the only antivirus that works in safe mode with that setup properly nae problems and i go 2 dodgy sites 2 check and nufin gets on ma pc

norton antivirus and firewall, windows defender, Hack tacer, putty, adaware, neo trace and VC tool kit.

ps nod32 antivirus is very good

Hey I'm new, talk to me

linux hardware firewall, cant mind the name but anyone can download it for free

norton antivirus
ad aware pro
and a wirless router/bb modem as a firewall

windows firewall

I use the ZoneAlarm, have everything u need to be protected, anti-virus, the best firewall in the world, anti-spyware etc etc etc all in 1

GC

I use common sense..only psuedo-firewall is the NAT built into the router. I do have Avast! Antivirus installed along with Adaware and Spybot incase I need them but haven't for a while. Nothing beats using your noggin and just not opening anything dodgy..

For people who need protection though I tend to put on Zonealarm, Avast! and Microsoft Defender. If they want to pay for an antivirus I'll recommend Kapersky as it is a little known product that consitantly outperforms everything else. My old boss used to recommend Norton because he got it cheap and could make money off it regardless of the fact it was slow and has poor accuracy (2 hours for a scan that took 15 minutes with Avast! and Avast! found far more nasties).

hmm, tis a shame common sense isnt always gonna help you, viruses can be hidden anywhere on a website and can be gained from even legitimate sources without even opening/downloading anything, the coders are very devious these days.

Well it has helped me since 1998 when I got my one and only virus. Win32-CIH which was a nasty little bugger that corrupted every executable on the hard drive!
