which anti-virus, firewall, spyware blocker to use? - GoFuckYourself.com

cyberstar · 10-04-2006, 06:44 PM

Just formatted my computer and ready for some protection

i know anti-virus issue has been brought up before but I need to make sure it won't conflict with firewall, etc... what programs are you using?

so far I am thinking AVG and ZoneAlarm.. not sure which spyware blocker tho... geez you need 10 programs to protect your poor computer nowadays

E$_manager · 10-04-2006, 07:04 PM

i have DrWeb. I don't know if it is good or bad.

Jenny S. · 10-04-2006, 07:15 PM

Mac OSX is all you need.

I do run AVG on our old Win machines, though. Doesn't always help.

Spunky · 10-04-2006, 07:19 PM

Kaspersky is pretty good..I hear also Panda too

Missie · 10-04-2006, 07:21 PM

ZoneAlarmPro for sure for firewall. Can't get better than that. It can be annoying at times because it pervents sites from loading when it's a known spyware site. Then you have the choice to either allow it or leave it. If you can get a discount on the whole thing, I would take the ZoneAlarm Security Suite.

If not, AVG for antivirus. It's free and it's one of the best.

Am I allowed to put my spyware blocker in my signature? Don't want to break any rules here.

marketsmart · 10-04-2006, 07:31 PM

damn double post

NewbieNudes · 10-04-2006, 07:42 PM

windows defender (used to be called MS antispyware)

Works a dream.

Missie · 10-04-2006, 07:46 PM

Yeah Windows defender... they were intimidated by I think it was 180Solutions quite a while back and stopped detecting their programs. I'm not sure if they do now or not. I have it on my computer as extra security because I don't think one program will ever catch it all, but I sure as hell wouldn't rely on just that one.

The best u can get:

1. Kapersky

2. F-Secure

10-04-2006, 08:12 PM

Norton Internet Security 2006 has all of that I believe.

I use Norton 2006 and so far it works fine but I still have a copy of spybot I run from time to time.

virus scanner: NOD32
Spyware: Spysweeper and Adaware
Firewall: none (my router has a firewall, but it's not enabled)

How long have you had it? I just purchased it for my personal computer. It seems to be alright so far. I've got the geeksquad as my backup though just in case !
