I currently have Zonealarm firewall, AVG, Spybot and lavasoft and I run trend micro wekly.
Is this enough? What else should I have?

DEF GET RiD OF AVG! i had a virus and it totally took over my computer and avg popped up but would not let me get rid of it! i recommend norton internet security. you can get a free 15 day trial online. since the last time i had to restore my whole computer because of AVG. now that i have had norton, my computer goes faster and im safer. Keep lavasoft, its very good. hope this helps!

i would get rid of avg, the rest is very good, but you will need a good anti-virus program on your pc
i would recommend norton,mcafee, or bitdefender
