I'm behind a router, but I still run McAfee firewall since I really don't know any better. For antivirus, I've been running AVG free for quite a while now.

And, thanks to urb's reminder, I just downloaded and ran Adaware, which I haven't had since the last time I re-did this damned machine.

Your avatar is looking mighty fine UW.

I upgraded my Ad-Aware SE to version 1.06 yesterday. It was a fairly large upgrade. I normally update my db on it every week.

Best combo I've found is:

Avast Antivirus (It's free and it's a bit better than avg)

Microsoft AntiSpyware

I run a Hardware Firewall so it would be redundant to run a software one.

Never accept attachments in emails...if every person did this their chance of infection would drop dramatically.

I haven't had anything infect my computer in a few years and this includes me reviewing popup, spyware loaded, galleries from hell on my tgp.
