What is the best antivirius, firewall and anti-spy/spam? It doesn't matter if it's all single (like zonealarm, norton, etc.,). Or if it's a package deal like Norton Internet security suite.

However I want them to all work together as I understand Norton antivirus does not work with some others.

Is McAfree good?

What's going to stop those weird things like 008k.Com? Coolweb, etc.?

I prefer Zonealarm because it has antivirus, firewall and anti-spyware. I tried using Norton in conjunction with Zonealarm, but it just caused conflicts, since Norton has a multifunction package as well.

Before Zonealarm, I used Norton for 10 years. Now that their virus subscriptions expire, I find it stupid to go with Norton. Zonealarm is completely free for the latest subscriptions.

As for those things you mentioned, those are cookie related. You can disable cookies all together in your web browser. Or you can be like me and have a program like Zonealarm search and destroy all those cookies and spyware every day.

1. For your Anti-Virus.........................

Personally, I use the AOL AntiVirusShield. Don't let the name AOL scare you. AntiVirusShield is made by Kaspersky which is one of top-rated anti-virus vendors in the world.

In recent tests, the most popular free anti-virus, AVG, was only able to detect about 82% of a very large sample of viruses. On the other hand, AntiVirusShield was able to detect better than 99% in the same test.

AOL AntiVirusShield has excellent virus detection rates and is extremely light on using your computer resources.

Free to anyone, AOL member or not from:

2. For your Firewall......................

An excellent free firewall is Comodo Personal Firewall. It can pass firewall "leak tests" that even a lot of the "paid-for" firewalls cannot pass.

And Comodo has a great support forum. Where the CEO / President of the company might even himself answer your question! Check it out at:

3. For your Anti-Adware and Anti-Spyware needs...............

Pick and choose at least 2 anti-spywares from the list below and alternate scanning with them on a regular basis. New spywares are created literally hourly, so no single anti-spyware can really detect all malware. Have at least 2 on hand and alternate scanning with each every few days or so. All are free. All can remove as well as detect.

Spybot Search and Destroy:

Ewido:

Adaware SE:

SUPERAntiSpyware:

Windows Defender:

Unfortunately, many "paid for" anti-spyware products are in fact either of limited usefulness or downright scams. When in doubt, look at the list of rogue anti-spyware solutions listed here:

4. And to protect your computer from ever getting infected with spyware in the first place...................
