I run both Ad-aware SE personal and AVG 7.5 Are there any other anti-virus/spyware/trojan, ect programs I shoud run, or do those cover them all?

I've got a packet of condoms, those cover everything.

Coming form a moderator, that was quite uncalled for.



I'd download ZoneAlarm, it's a firewall, it's pretty good and catches some stuff.

AV = NOD32
Spyware = Spyware doctor, XsoftspySE, Spysweeper

I use AVG for Antivirus and I like it. For spyware, I'd use Spybot Search & Destroy along with ad-aware.

I use both of those programs and the Windows firewall (ZoneAlarm is more secure, but I'm fine with the Windows one, and I've got a router as well) and I have never gotten a serious virus or spyware infection since getting them. I also scan with HijackThis about once a week:

And analyze the logfile here:

NOD32 is the best paid Antivirus.

Thanks for your help

Uk31337, do you mean like this?

If you want more protection and are willing to pay for it then NOD32 is the way to go! Also I'd recommend AVG anti spyware, there's a free version but it comes with a 30 day free trial which has all the features in it. I've been using it for a few months and its been great so far. I think your setup now is fine though.

Sypsweeper is good, but it uses up a little too much resouces for me. Windows defender tho is a great grab, its virtually invisable.

as for anti-virus, like Raffaz and troy said, go with NOD32. I'm using the 30 day trial, and i love it. soo much better than my NAV was, and uses less than 1/8 of the resources.

I use Avast for antivirus and Ad-Aware for antispyware.
