I went off Zone Alarm, and use Kerio Personal Firewall, and of course AVG, Spybot.

Avast, Adaware, SpywareBlaster, Windows Defender. what i run (well, my brother uses avast, i have norton but will be switching.)
CWShredder and Mcafee Stinger are good scanners (for CWSearch and trojans)

jbennet, I wasn't saying anything bad about AVG or it's spyware compontent, I was just giving him other products to try as I really don't like paying for things that load at startup and bog down your machine like norton does. i've used AVG and like it, now I use Avast and other tools that I can run as a manuel scan after I'm off the internet and make sure I'm not infected, that's all no arguments here. I'll use as many tool as possible because no one program does it all, even if they do claim they do.

Deep, deep in the woods, but walking about.
Do what vnatech has suggested: Adaware and spybot with AVG free version will got you out of more problems than Norton, McAfee, Trend or CA. I use Spyware Doctor with antivirus on Vista and it works like a dream.
Hi Rikoru, if you are newbie to this "security isues" then i suggest you do a little reserach before deciding what AV to get. But to make it easy for you, go here and get this AV free: www.avast.com Download their free Home Edition. It is the same as the Pro but without the Enhanced User interface.
I think this is one of the best Av out there. Kaspersky is good to, but its not free.
One more thing, Trash that Norton crap, its useless and its heavy on your pc.
Good luck buddy.
