i hav Zone Alarm Pro [ZAP] (firewall+Antispyware) & Kaspersky Internet Security (KIS). i've no Spyware or Virus on my PC.karnivore said:dudes.......thx for the response.
u guys should know that i use "avg free version". but inspite of this, just recently, i got infected by a spyware. so u can see i am not entirely convinced by this free version. freeware "spybot" is no good either. my believe is that freewares r good only for limited no of malwares. they do not give a very high level of protection. i am not saying that all paid antispywares r good, and thats why i posted this thread in the first place, to see which software gets the max vote.
i hav a cracked "spy dr" but do not want to use it because i wont b able to update it. but in my opinion this software is really good.
ZoneAlarm is something i can use. it is probably the best firewall around. even the free version is extremely effective.

-> i dont click on just any link. (deceptive links)
->I use Opera browser (one of the safest, notifies when something tries to d/l by itself)
->ZAP notifies SpySites & blocks them rightaway, & has a good Anti Spyware in it.
->KIS detects trojans on the websites & notifies+Blocks the website
s18000rpm said:which browser do you use?
s18000rpm said:there you see IE7 is the gateway to Malwares.
dont use IE7 (use for only MS website).
i dunno about FF in emulating IE7, but Opera 9.10 does it good. so you can access websites which require IE in Opera.
& Opera is still the safest browser
