Anything I need to add?
You mainly got the all the stuff I have I own my new PC for almost one year right now. I Also have WinPatrol which is really good for detecting any changes in your PC that wasn’t change by you. ;D
"WinPatrol "
See, this is where I am headed.
Any suggestions,
I need details of what a new program is
"WinPatrol "
no idea what that is?
A “TAD” more detail…
uninstalled AVG,cause it fought AVAST,
And uninstalled NORTON( that took a ton of work)
WinPatrol is a freeware that monitors any changes in your start up, memory, etc. It can also detect and delete cookies. It requires a bit of your RAM so that you can see that cute little Scottish Dog that will Patrol your PC for any changes. Hackers will not change your settings very easily with Win Patrol around.
Heres the link: http://www.winpatrol.com/download.html
Also remember: The best security for every PC is always the brain of the user.
Thanks FIXER,
But want reply from others too ;D
Take a look here: http://spyros.atspace.com
A nice site you have made Spyros, did put it in my Firefox Security folder

Winpatrol both the free and the pro version is used by many of us.
It’s an excellent program. Just do a search on the forum and you’ll see many
related posts.
GhosTT,
Your pick is not bad. Mind you that Zonealarm can be taken out. I experienced that once, and had to install Sygate in stead. But this forum informed me that Kerio is excellent and the best for the more experienced user. What I do not see in your list is the proggies for analyzing files. Small programs you can even launch from a floppy disk, and give you a wealth of information about a file you do not think is 100% kosher: Here we go. This is polonus’s selection: enditall, filewatch.exe, StartDreck, StartupList, VIEWFILE, ASVIEWER, HJT, PepiMK’s FileAlyzer and RegAlyzer, ScripTrap, Easy Integrity Checker, SystemSecuritySuite 1.04.,BinaryTextScan.
No load on the machine and very handy dandy proggies,

Hi !
I’ve read your interesting post
AVAST ANTIVIRUS ZoneLABS Security firewall--happy with that Spybot,search&destroy Ad-AwareSE SpywarebBasterYour choice is OK I think. But you should never forget that the best security for your computeur IS YOU... I really think you already know what I say...
ps: try Sygate firewall
Hello niko,
Why have you changed to sygate. I know the logging functions of sygate are good. Could you easily got track of all it did?
What are your reasons for mentioning it.
greets,
polonus
Hi Polonus, cool to read you,
I switch to Sygate 'cause there’s no conflict whit it concerning Avast! and others softwares on my PC…
I use ZA on friends or customers PC 'cause I think it’s a little bit easy to setup…
Hope you’re OK, and your family too!
Thanks all,
I really like this forum,
The way everbody wants to help, a good ,friendly, and
damn informative group!
I tend to sweat that my questions are so basic as to be dumb,
Nobody here treats anybody that way.
Very cool!
Question,
Winpatrol free version does not work “REALTIME”?
Winpatrol free version does not work "REALTIME"?It's exactly the same as the pro version in that respect. There are some other things that you don't get in the free version. Just as there are differences in the Home and Pro version of avast! The basic computer protection is the same in both.... :)

Basically the same as me and I have been virus/malware free for donkeys. In my opinion spywareblaster is the daddy 'cos it stops em before they arrive
essexboy,
your spywarebaster comment good to know.
Had it for a long time, thought it did little cause no sign of it.
Always update it, just thought it was “really limited”, glad to know it works
Thats the beauty of it, it stops the stuff before you know it, so you don’t see anything happen. It is passive protection
