My firewall is ZoneAlarm
And for the Antivirus, I use Spybot S&D...
and Symantec, and Ad-Aware 2007, and SpywareBlaster, and Norton.
...And I check program installation agreements with EULAlyser.

Obsessive much? *blushes* well I've had to reformat too many times to take chances any more. But Spybot pretty much gets them all; and everything is top-notch freeware apart from Norton.

I use Ubuntu Linux, so there's no need for any of that silly antiviral what-have-you.

Debian GNU/Linux FTW ;)

No more antivirus software for me!

For all those poor Windows users who need antivirus:
1) Switch to Linux
2) NEVER use Norton. Or anything Symantec. They're simply really crap.

Doesn't lag like Norton does, but then again doesn't detect any viruses either ;)

Of course it's still one of the better free ones but that isn't saying much.

Eset Smart Security, and SpyBot S&D.

Smart Security is the step up from nod32.

Great program.
