Best Anti-spyware & firewall software

I got all this spyware shit on my PC what is the best software to get it off, also macafee sucks but it was free with comcast, i would use kaspersky but i don't feel like paying for it

 

I use Panda Internet Security 2007. Works Perfect.

 

I've been using onecare from MS for over a year now, and have not had any issues, but then again I watch what I download and don't open BS emails.

Best according to me is ZONE ALARM INTERENT SUITE
Works best

 

best is from checkpoint - hardware

 

i heard it had a good firewall but nothing else.

 

A properly (stealthed) router is all you really need, but you might as well run the Windows firewall on top of that. The reason people want a robust software firewall is to block outbound traffic, but if you're already infected, the virus has disabled your software firewall and you're now just running more bloated software. As for anti-spyware... I haven't got a single infection since early 2006. same with viruses, it just doesn't happen unless you're using IE 6 and clicking "Yes" to everything, opening email attachments or installing software from shady sources. I run nod32 for anti-virus because of it's exceptionally small resource footprint.

 

Kaspersky + Zone Alarm works best for me.

 

I hate IE and those people at comcast.

 

You can try Previx

 

If you are looking for a free security setup i would suggest this little bunch

Zone alarm
AVG Anti-Virus
Spybot - Search & Destroy
Ad-Aware

This lot are able to deal with most of the irritations of net..

 

Thanks I'll use these to clean up my system for now then I'll get something better.

 

As far as a Windows software firewall Commodo has a free firewall that I've used and liked:

Having worked at an ISP a few years ago I got a distaste for Zone Alarm although I'm sure it's a better product nowadays.

 

First Kaspersky is not a Anti Spyware... Kaspersky is a Anti Virus

I think the best Anti Spyware is/are .. Spyware Doctor and Ad Aware SE (2007)

 

i thought Kaspersky internet security was? why can't they just make all in ones

 

you can use trial of symanted products, they have very nice softwares which can save your computer from harmful spywares and viruses.

 

and you're wrong...
Kaspersky Internet Security is Anti Spyware too
--------
Zone Alarm Security Suite is also good (anti-virus,anti-spyware,firewall etc)

DarkX

 

Good Anti-spyware list.

I would recommend running Spybot and making sure you run its "immunize" function. Helps keep away many different malwares (after all, no use scanning and zapping in a cyclic manner all the time).

I have used AVG antivirus for a few years with no issues - maybe worth a look.

 

I got Kaspersky internet security now once again, seems to be working great.

 

AVG might be the best.
