I didn't use any "protection", and I paid the consequences on more than one occasion. Reformating entire hard drives, having the PC slow down to a crawl and more.
The Windows built in protection is just crap. It's like going out there trying to fight aliens using bows and arrows. It's like building your house with grass hoping the big bad wolf doesn't blow it away. On the other hand, those "professional" programs often cost too much to maintain. You spent hundred of dollars and fork out even more every year to "keep it up to date". Worse, those programs aren't even sufficient.
After so many years of experience, I've finally concluded that, not any single program is enough for your survival on the harsh internet world. You need a comprehensive and variety of the best weapons against the countless kind of enemies out there. This package I list offer the ultimate protection. If you install all of these programs and consistently update them, I can assure you that you are surrounded by the "Aura Of 9 Heavens". Nothing will ever penetrate your defenses. Best of all, they are all free!
1. Zone Alarm Firewall - This extremely popular firewall is your superb defense against programs that want to access the internet (inward and outward). Grant access only to legitimate ones and you'll have built your first line of defense.
2. Spyware Blaster - Prevention is better than cure, this free program is an ultra force field that will guard you against thousands of malicious sites and wares.
3. AVG Anti Virus - The free virus killing machine. Very effective, very responsive, very easy to maintain. It updates automatically and detects viruses as soon as it appears on your computer. This one puts Norton and MaCafee to shame.
4. Adaware 2007 - If AVG is the ultimate virus killing machine, then this one is the ultimate spyware killnig machine. Must get.
5. AVAST Anti Virus - Combine this with AVG and you got a impregnable fortress. This one scans viruses to the deepest level (even the kernel), features P2P shield, Email shields and even more shields that can detect a virus before it can even infect your computer.
6. Spybot Search & Destroy - This one is my personal favourite and I've been using it for the longest. The immunization is similar to Spyware Blaster, and its spywares killing abilities will pick off those that get pass Adaware.
