but i would can that spybot BS in favor of pest patrol...just my opinion :P
spybot's support/updates has always been shit
yeah, i know, its free...but so is ad-aware....
and they have at least decent support/updates
find a corp version of PP, v4.4 preferably (v5 kinda went downhill IMO)
this is my list of security goodies installed atm:
AdMuncher
Ad-Aware SE (personal)
Mail Washer Pro
PestPatrol Corp 4.4
SpywareBalster
Sygate Personal Firewall Pro
Symantec AV Corp v9
Trojan Hunter 4
Webroot Spysweeper

I like your choice of Antivirus ! :01:
FKDUP74 - wow you have all that installed...is it necessary to have all that installed.
what does everyone think of Norton? maybe along with firefox with Adblock? you think thats a good combo of apps to use
You can also use free AVG which is excellent or NOD32 which has an unprecedented detection rate and uses very little system resources.
yup, and more on the way :P :lol:Quote:

see....thing is....not all apps will catch everything
an antivirus is....well....an antivirus :P
not always the best for trojans, and not really worth a squat for spy/adware
spyware apps all seem to detect different spywares...
none of them catch em all
so i try to get the best performing apps...
as many as it takes...
to get the best level of security i can
and even then, common sense is still the main rule
you can double the amount of security apps i got...shit, triple the #...
and still get infected if you dont watch what you do
fuck u jacob....just switch browsers and get firefox.lol :01:
