Hey guys,
I have three Windows XP computers at home and am looking at the simplest
and most robust solution of managing virus and spyware threats. I would
also like some intergrated spam filtering if possible and as always,
keep the cost down.
Which of the following products would you recommend and why?
- Microsoft OneCare
- AVG Anti-Malware
- Symantec Internet Security
- McAfee Total Protection
Am I missing any?
Thanks,
-Brent

For your AV; NOD32
For your Spyware, etc.; CounterSpy or SpySweeper
For your Firewall; Norton Personal Firewall ( *NOT* Norton Internet
Security!!!)

With three computers you should have a router, your choice of wired or
wireless. The programs below are free for home use:
Software firewall: ZoneAlarm free <<http://tinyurl.com/kzq>
Antivirus: Either Avast, <http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html> or
Antivir, <http://www.free-av.com/>.
Anti-malware, any/all of:
AdAware, <http://lavasoft.element5.com/software/adaware/>
Spybot Search & Destroy, <http://www.spybot.info/en/index.html>
a-squared <http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free/>
Superantispyware, <http://www.superantispyware.com/>
I have all of the above anti-malware programs on my system since they look for
different types of malware, with some overlap. Needless to say, download the
latest updates before scanning.
