Just interested to know what security configuration you guys have on your PC... (eg firewall, av, antispyware etc).

If you can, please tell us which programs you are using.

Thanks :)

731336 2008-12-21 02:13:00 The last option in your poll is the only one that should be there ;) Any of the others and you are not covering all the bases. wainuitech (129)
731337 2008-12-21 02:23:00 Some of the applications I use will not run under certain operating systems.
I use what works for me.

Not letting others use your computer helps as well.

731339 2008-12-21 02:59:00 Have 5 computers in the house, one each for the three of us plus a couple of spares. I run Nod32 suite as got it free with the mag, on wife's and spares use Avast and ZA and on Step sons Avast and Comodo and Spybot, malwarebytes. Wife and I don't run any anti malware and no one else uses our comps, don't do torrents or visit dodgy sites and in 5 years have not had any malware as on the odd occasion have installed several and run them and they have turned up clean so just don't bother with them gary67 (56)

So the router's firewall alone is enough do you think?

Ah, I'd probably better keep one then. I use torrents once in a blue moon.
