Your Internet security software?

What Internet security software does everyone run?

I recieved a copy of Mcafee Internet Security Suite 2006 for Christmas, it looks pretty good and i'm going to install it later today I used to use Norton but stopped when they started charging for updates and slowing down my system.

I've been running the same stuff for the past couple of years now.

I have the windows Firewall disabled, and in it's place I run Kerio Personal Firewall (which has been absolutely great). I also use AVG Antivirus 7.1 (paid version).

I actually bought the two pieces of software in a bundle, and the cost was very reasonable. I think my subscription to AVG is running out this year, however, and I aren't sure if I will be renewing.

I don't like the fact that AVG tries to run a complete system scan every morning when I start the computer. I know I could stop it fromdoing so, but I think AVG's scanning system as a whole takes up far too much CPU, and slows things down. I may be looking for an alternative.

eTrust AntiVirus, Microsoft Antispyware (and adaware, spybot etc when I can be bothered), Windows Firewall.

I'm not saying I trust the Windows Firewall. I don't much. It's just that it's a damn sight less annoying than other free ones like ZoneAlarm...

AVG Anti Virus 7.1 Pro, Lavasoft Ad-aware SE Plus, Windows Firewall. Whats the point in having all these top company security centers which pop up every 1min saying something is blocked etc

Hmmm. I use no security software, no anti-spyware, no anti-virus. Haven't for a couple years now. I think I am a little too internet 'old' to get spyware/viruses. Well I am behind a router so any attack at my IP will hit my router and stop. Never had a computer problem.

I've got ZoneAlarm Firewall, AVG, Microsoft Anti-Spyware, ad-aware, and the greatest security software of all, Firefox.

I run MS antspyware beta and Avast antivirus. Both free. Router does my firewalling.

I'm using Kaspersky Anti-Virus and webroot spysweeper and I got zonealarm firewall.

Depending on what CPU you have and what ghz it has it will slow it down mine runs perfect and no lag what so ever

I don't run anything but AdAware periodically. I have a router so I don't see the need.
