I use Norton Utilities. Speed Disk, One Button Checkup, Norton WinDoctor r most used by Me. I hv NAV 04 turned off as it used to hog too much of mine resources. Machine became slow as snail. Avast 4.6 is lite and does the job. Bi-weekly optimizing Drives [Twice Consecutively] keeps my Drives Clutter free , Monthly Checkup with one button checkup and WinDoc keeps it cool. I also use SystemMechanic 5 pro with good effect. SysMech reg Clean, defrag,compact is cool.

Norton's SpeedDisk is better than System Mechanics corresponding Tool. Norton's WinDoctor is better I Think. But system mechanic is faster. System Mechanic Junk finder, Registry Optimezer tools r better. System Mechanics erase ur track is faster too. So using both in tandem shud be good idea.

i rely on the following ,

:arrow: KAV Personal Pro

:arrow: Zone Alarm

:arrow: MS Antispyware (Beta)

:arrow: Ad-aware SE

In addition to these i am using SP2 with automatic updates turned on and also using Ccleaner to keep my system clean and free from junk.

Here is mine,

:arrow: WindowsXP SP2, completely updated
:arrow: Opera for Internet browsing
:arrow: Antivir PersonalEdition
:arrow: Zone alarm pro (With adblocking turned to high)
:arrow: Spybot SnD
:arrow: Spyware Blaster
:arrow: Spyware Doctor
:arrow: Ad Aware SE

:arrow: :arrow: And finally PC security test 2005 to test all these things work well.
Then with peace in mind I will browse anything on the internet.
Nobody will attack me, Nothing will infect me and that is enough for me.

I mean there is less security loopholes in that browser as it is an important thing about security. Firefox too is less vulnerable than IE. Using IE is riskiest thing. Try PC security test 2005 if you want to know it simply. Make sure your AV and Firewall and all those protection wares are ON stage. And find it out.

About the softwares :

-> Norton Antivirus 2003
-> Windows Firewall

I've got sp2...but i disabled most of its options...i update my av once in 14-15 days...Just being sensible while surfing the net secures ur pc.

I use the foll. tools
:arrow: Spybot S&D
:arrow: Microsoft antispyw
:arrow: ZoneAlarm firewall
:arrow: AVG Free

Tey hog sys. resources but really work. Diasabling Even one of them opens up many new security holes.
Spybot only checks but its TEATIMER extension helps block bad downloads
Fiewall is necessary in July the poeple at Digit have written that a 3rd party firewall is better.
Be sure to have Real Time protection and Heurstic Scanning or you'll be in trouble. :) :) :)
P.S. :-Also remember to update.
