AVG and Microsoft Firewall Beta, I use AVG becuase its free (always a bonus) and I find that the microsoft spyware scanner is proberbly teh best on hte market. It picks up all spyware problems that I have ever had unlike certain other commercial ones.
Why do you want to know ?

I would suggest getting a firewal that filters your traffic. We use a company called fortinet who are shit hot.

Microsoft Onecare Beta and Microsoft AntiSpyware Beta. Good stuff, and a nice change from having Norton for years. Both free, currently at least.

Agreed!
Nod32 and Microsoft ASW
Have a software firewall already on the router so no need on another software firewall.
If my PC became suddenly infected with shit and started dialling out everywhere etc i might consider using a firewall.
But between those two programs my PC remains quite clean. Running regular scans also helps.
I think also of shit that gets downloaded onto your PC is mainly your fault because of the sites you visit anyway.
Respectable websites dont download crap onto your PC, surfing p0rn sites every night will not help

Agreed.
I have just re-formatted my pc, and installed all the essentials on there (eg zone alarm, AVG, office, photoshop, nero etc) and its so0o0o0o0o0o much quicker now.
Used to download stuff randomly, but im going to be much more careful now. ll be impressed if something can get past Zonealarm, AVG, Ad-Aware and Microsoft Spyware BETA.
