Hi,
Do you think that the free security softs (AV, antispywares, personal
firewall) can be really as efficient as the other ones ?

They stated types of pseudo-security software have nothing to do with
efficiency. Why don't you talk about rootkit analyzers, sudo for Windows,
system management and analyzation software, auditing tools and alikes?

Do you think that red wine can taste as good as white wine? Your
question is equally easy to answer.

But why are you installing viruses, spyware, trojans, and similar in the
first place? Or do you believe there is a "Mal-ware Fairy" that comes
around and waves the magic wand over your computer to install malware
without your knowledge.

Post here - answers here. HTML mail is one of the important sources of
mal-ware, but I guess you haven't learned about that yet.

and you probably have everything enabled so that you don't have to think
about clicking on those warning messages.

Don't see the connection : if white and red wines are different (I'm a wine
producer), may be if one is free and the other not, it doesn't mean that the
more expensive is better.

Yes - that is the point. Cost != Quality

Look at the headers of this post - I'm not using a web browser for everything
because it's the only "tool" I can use. Do you use a hammer to weed the
vineyard? Do you use the same hammer to crush the grapes? Do you use the
same hammer to prune the vines? Then why do you use the same web browser
for all access to the computer and Internet? It is because I am not using
a browser for everything that I don't have to worry about all of the
mal-ware in the mail, or on some web site that is really a downloading service.
