What is protecting your puter?

[Noite Escura]

This is meant to share any good hints on protective stuff and info on new stuff out there. I have a basic combo of free stuff: AVG, Ad-Aware and Zona Alarm. So far this has kept me from bugs, trojans, and undesirable stuff I'm aware off. Some people said that AVG is no longer reliable though. Any good free anti-virii software out there. I'd like to hear your experience, people.

I've got Linux and a DI-604 router with firewall.
So I don't have many concerns about extra protection.

 

[PuterTutor]

Di-704 router w/ firewall here. Norton Antivirus, plus a weekly or so dose of Adaware and Spybot.

Of course. I finally find one & it sucks. (I installed it for the first time 2 weeks ago.)

Router & Norton until March 4th. I don't want to pay them amymore.

Still using NAV 2002 (bought an new subscription last xmas; cheaper than buying 2004), ZA Pro, Spybot, & Ad-aware.

 

[Luhny]

spybot and firewalled router.

I'm still using NAV 2002 as well. My subscription has to be renewed every Ovtober, though. I use that and Spybot.

 

[samcurry]

spybot, spyguard and a hardware firewall. no one gets thru without a pass.

router/firewall
AVG (I think it's more dependable that norton myself) I haven't hade any problems with it.
Spybot.
and I clean my temp, cookies, and stuff about 2-3 times a day with
a cleaning program.

Also I have windows messaging cut-off, along with remote reg service,
on my win2000/xp machines.

same here

 

[Spot]

Norton 2004, Ad-Aware and Spybot.
do regular cleanings with Window Washer too

 

[Gato_Solo]

My home system is protected by 2 things...Norton anti-virus, and no net connection. I let the DoD protect the one at work. So far, nothing bad has happened...

 

[Noite Escura]

That's probably because nobody knows what they do to hackers and virus senders

 

[Gonzo]

Now that is a good thing

 

[catocom]

Well avg's update files haven't been working for a couple of days now,
and my niece's comp kept starting this "Blockade" crap from Nickelodeon. (when ever I tried to run avg)
So I've started using "antivir", atleast for the time being in conjuction
with avg just to be safe.

 

[Luhny]

my computer is NEKED

 

[catocom]

Then you surly have spyware on your comp, and
possibly a virus or 2.

 

[Luhny]

i was joking: spybot and a firewall on router
