Yeah I know there are many similar topics to this but unfortunately they are out-of-date. Times are changing and I want to know what combination of programs do you have on your PC. Mine are:

1. Avast! AntiVirus 4.7
2. COMODO Firewall Pro
3. Spyware Doctor

How about yours? And also, what would you recommend for PC protection?

[_r.u.s.s.]

another thread duplicate? oh well
kaspersky
no firewall, vulnerable ports closed
spybot s&d

[Japo]

Comodo Firewall Pro. A personal firewall is good even if you have a hardware one.

Avira AntiVir.

Spyware Terminator. Includes HIPS.

Comodo BOClean.

But most important, be sensible. Don't open spam attachments and scan everything you get from fishy sources including P2P.

Viruses? PC protection?!? Who worries about that anymore?

May you enjoy your rootkits.

Shame is of course that you are a danger for everyone else.

A rootkit on my Ubuntu box? LOL There are only two ways to have such a problem.

1. A clever hacker gains access to the system remotely and installs one. Pigs will fly before this happens.

2. I unwittingly install one myself. The odds of this happening are even lower than option 1.


As everyone who has some knowledge of computers should know, the only danger to everyone are the sheep that run Microsoft software for their OS. They are the vulnerable, and they are the ones who need worry about protection.

Yay thanks for the insult. k: If you didn't like Dosraider's comment there was no need to overreact, it was enough with the arguments you provided. I'm aware of security, my machine is not a zombie thanks for asking, and since malware can't manage to bother me I'm more annoyed by aggro fanboys.

I'm easily swayed by user opinions. Spyware Doctor was a resource hog. Now I have both Spybot & Ad-Aware 2007
