    avast free home edition – GOOD
    free ad-aware edition – POOR REMOVE
    finjan internet searcher – IE ADD ON (I’VE NEVER USE IT)
    free pc tools firewall plus – FIREWALL
    windows firewall – TURN IT OFF YOUR USING free pc tools firewall plus
    Add the following all free:
    comodo bocleanhttp://www.comodo.com/boclean/boclean.ht…
    superantispywarehttp://www.superantispyware.com/
    Malwarebyteshttp://www.download.com/Malwarebytes-Ant…
    & you have a wonderful weekend.
    Tip:
    you can only run two firewalls if one is a software firewall & the other is a hardware firewall.

    Well I can only tell you from my experience & it may not work the same for you,But I’d go with
    Avira for Anti Virus
    Zone alarm for the Firewall ( & then turn off windows firewall)
    Use FireFox instead of IE
    Use McAfee SiteAdvisor instead of finjan (It works with IE & FF both)
    Use Spybot SS&D instead of Ad Aware 2008 (2007 was good though.. 2008 messed it big time)
    I’d go against 2 of Firewall/AV/Anti Spywares.. it only slows the system down like crazy..

    that’s too much for PC protection lol. you don’t need to use double firewalls, either use windows or firewall plus as you wish. lot of protection may complicate each other when running the program, so i highly recommed you to use even just one internet security. and foremost, having lot of programs/software for PC protection doesn’t mean you are already protected from viruses, trojans, worms, etc for entering your PC. those intruders have always has ways to enter if they want and that’s how you use your PC.
