What SW do you run to protect your computer?
 

As of now I'm running:

Anti-Virus - NAV Corporate Edition
http://www.symantec.com/Products/ent...info&refId=805

Spyware - Spybot
http://spybot.com/en/download/index.html (free)

Firewall - ZoneAlarm
http://www.zonelabs.com/store/conten...n&lid=nav_z a (free)

It seems now that a lot of the companies are offering 'suites' which provide protection from spyware, spam, viruses, trojans, firewall etc.

I was wondering what experience people have had with the following products or any other recommendations:

This looks like a great product 'A-Squared Anti-Malware'. I installed the 30 day free trial and worked well. It does trojans, dialers, worms, spyware and traces. Basically all 'malware':

My computer came with McAfee Security Center installed for a trial period which came with anti-virus installed. Of course now I get pop-ups asking to register as well as purchase other products everytime I boot.

This Suite has a number of products.

McAfee Internet Security Suite
8-in-1 protection
Anti-Virus
Anti-Spyware
Firewall
Anti-Spam and Anti-Phishing
Privacy and Identity Theft Protection
Parental Controls
File Back-up and Restore
McAfee Security Center and PC Health

They also have a 'Total Protection' suite:

McAfee Total Protection
10-in-1 protection
Anti-Virus
Anti-Spyware
Firewall
Anti-Spam and Anti-Phishing
Privacy and Identity Theft Protection
Parental Controls
File Back-up and Restore
Wireless Network Protection
Network Optimization
McAfee Security Center and PC Health

Then there is Norton Internet Security:

I'm considering getting rid of NAV Corp. Edition, spybot and ZoneAlarm and getting:

McAfee Security Suite

A-Squared Anti-Malware

Does anyone have any other suggestions/comments on the products above?
NAV, ZoneAlarm and spybot have done fine so far, but it seems like the McAfee products are a step ahead, and I don't mind paying for peace of mind.

thanks

Kaspersky labs Antivirus is the best on the market with new definitions released every few hours.

Most advanced feature wise, they also have a full internet security suite.

GO WITH KASPERSKY.

Linux is the only thing I need.

Ms-dos 1.0

Common sense. I've never had an infection, and since I stopped using I.E. except to ensure my shit still works with it, I've not had a nasty popup problem.

NAV Corp is decent, but man, SpyBot's been shit since the v1.3 days; I'd suggest you use Ad-Aware if you actually have issues with popups.

NOD32 is probably the best AV I've used on a small-office basis, following that, AntiVir, and AVG. Avast is too resource-polluting and likes to force you to reboot; Microsoft will probably buy them for that reason alone.

Microsoft's 'Defender' is actually pretty useful as an anti-spyware tool (Beta 1 was awful, even if it was just GIANT with a facelift).

In conclusion: Pie is good. Eat more pie.

BitDefender 9 Professional here :)

Mac OS X

I run Avast Anti-Virus.

I don't think I've run spybot in 2 years. I forgot I had ad-aware installed as well, but I haven't run that either in a long time. I don't have any issues with pop-ups etc.

looks pretty good: http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_professional.html

Only thing i run is Tiny Personal Firewall never needed a virus scanner

I forgot to mention that ZoneAlarm now offers a full suite:

http://www.zonelabs.com/store/applic...y=US& lang=en

i run AVG, Spyware Blaster, Spyware Doctor, Spybot - Search and Destroy, and Registry Mechanic

just Norton and Cloudmark

Me too. My husband did catch a virus back in 1988, though.

Avira AntiVir freeware

Avast is the way to go.

Only Windows XP. Since switching to Firefox & Thunderbird (email) a long time ago I have had zero virusses (viri?), popups, spam etc.

microsoft anti spyware
AVG
Webroot spysweeper on a few of my computers.

NOD
ZoneAlarm
