How do you protect your self against hackers, spammers, and all the other devious cyberbuts out there?

These are my recommendations. All are easy to install and use.

Personal firewall:Sygate

Spyware Remover: Spyware Remover


Spyware Remover: Adaware Personal Edition
http://www.lavasoft.de/

Anti Virus:Macrovirus



Good luck and dont hesitate to ask any questions.

How about using a different browser, like Firefox, Opera, Netscape Navigator, etc. I use Firefox, i feel safer. Dunno if its true. But the advantages on security i think is the built in pop-up blocker and lesser chance on getting spyware.

Aside of the safety, it is a much better browsing experience. Much more efficient and you can choose a theme you like to please the eye. Have a look: http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/

If you're thinking i am putting myself at risk with Firefox, PLEASE tell me!

I have been using AVG (anti virus) Spy bot (anti spyware) Spyseeker (anti spyware), The new MS one, plus the usual firewall etc.


I decided to try a different anit-malware (spyware, trojan, worm, etc) programme.
It found 3 (spyware) that all the others had missed.
On checking some back up disks, it found some that had been missed in the past.

a squared, at: http://www.emsisoft.com/en/

Yes, there is a free version!
