I have read lots of reviews on the various "security suites" available, and
all seem to have some good features and some that are not so good. So
rather than go with a "suite" I am interested in choosing a "best"
assortment...with the thoughts of "biggest bang for the lowest buck". I am
hoping that some of the experts here will help me with suggestions or
feedback. I have tried several and here is what I am leaning towards:

ANTIVIRUS
Bitdefender v9.0 Standard (3 years for $55.95)
or
AntiVir (free)

FIREWALL
Outpost Pro v3.0 ($40)

ANTI-SPYWARE/MALWARE
Webroot Spysweeper v4.5(2 years for $30)...already bought this one
and Microsoft Antispyware (free)...seems to run fine alongside Spysweeper

SPAM FILTER
MailWasher (free)

Thanks in advance for any help!

Wise move. Best in class stand-alone applications are worth the price.

I'd recommend the Pro version of MailWasher. It's worth the money. The
Anti-Spyware applications are probably not necessary if your computing
regimen is low-risk. Not a big fan of most firewall software. If I had
to make a choice, BlackIce without the Application Protection enabled.
BitDefender is reliable. I'd recommend NOD32.

Cathy, take a look at F-Secure Internet Security 2006, FSIS gives
anti-virus, anti-spyware, personal firewall, spam filtering and
parental controls in single integrated suite for $59.95 ( a 3 user
family pack is $119.90).

Yeah... It's good... It lacks some of the feature common in competing
products though.
