which anti-virus, firewall, spyware blocker to use?

**E$_manager** · 10-04-2006, 06:04 PM

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

**Jenny S.** · 10-04-2006, 06:15 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, 06:19 PM

Kaspersky is pretty good..I hear also Panda too

**Missie** · 10-04-2006, 06:21 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.

windows defender (used to be called MS antispyware)

Works a dream.

**Missie** · 10-04-2006, 06:46 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

**MaLayLaH** · 10-04-2006, 07:12 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.

I use AVG Antivirus Free Edition, Zone Alarm, Ad-Aware, Spybot and few others.

**Yngwie** · 10-04-2006, 07:57 PM

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 !

OS X does the job for me.
