I use McAfee's SecurityCenter (I got a 3 year subscription free with my Laptop).
I also use "Advanced Windows Care Personal" and "CCleaner" (Links can be found in my "Free Software List" thread)

The Best to do: Using a Mac or running Linux these to keeps it clean like nothing else :dunno: For me so far it was the best to do...windows just to much to hassle with :rant2:

CCleaner (ccleaner.com), and AVG (grisoft.com)

That's it! Occasional defrags.. yep!

i use nothing...:|. I don't even like having all these software installed to slow down my computer. I just use my common sense when it comes to going into websites and attacks.

The only thing I guess that counts is Microsoft Vista Ultimate Firewall, but besides that, I don't use anything. Haven't had any spyware or virus in about two years now.

I use Avast, Windows Defender/Firewall, CCleaner and the Windows Defragmenter. In other words, basically whatever the OS gives me.

[Ainokea]

bitdefender internet security, O&O Defrag, ccleaner

How exactly do you know you haven't had anything in two years, if you don't use anything that will tell you if you have a virus?
