I have the following on my pc:
Zone Alarm Firewall,
Ad-Aware,
AVG Anti Virus,
Ccleaner,
I get any updates from Microsoft when available and run a virus scan weekly,do I need any more utilities to keep my pc running smoothly?

I have Norton anti virus and webroot spy cleaner. Some of the programs that you have are free versions and don't totally protect your computer. They don't update daily to protect against new virus', when that happens the virus can infect your computer and the program will never pick up on it. Norton and Webroot constantly run and update so there is a next to never chance that you can get somthing with these programs. They also run periodic scans to make sure nothing got through.

I have used AVG loose version for years and performance no lawsuits. I were given rid of Norton because the vast dollar stuff become more suitable hardship than the virus it become meant to guard me from. I loaded Avast and Avira. both gave me issues registering and so on. Do as you spot in good structure yet i'm no longer transferring. I have a cocktail of loose software, some runs each and each of the time some purely when I do it manually or its scheduled time arrives. i have not had any issues those couldn't manage for a lengthy time period. One secret, inspite of the software, keep it as a lot as date in a lot of cases or maybe more suitable immediately.

A good piece of software that protects you while browsing the web is avast it is updated at least once a day. It also monitors IE ,MESSENGER etc.It`s really good if your on a broadband connection were your computer is connected 24/7.It runs in the background and is unnoticable and doesn`t affect what you doing, you don`t like with a lot programs have to activate a scan etc.
the website is:
www.avast.com
The best thing about it its FREE
Hope this helps

I recommend the Latest NIS that is the 2007 version. Easy to use, and has some superb safety features; I know most people will not believe me because of the last two versions of NIS being so allegedly "problematic", but it has a great Interface, and catches lots of problems

I have Mechanic 6 professional on main (I lost loads with last crash of my comp with all that you have now on your list). So far it is good. PS One nice girl recommended Mechanic 6 at Answers couple of months ago.

Point 1. Are you keeping your software up to date?
Point 2. If I were you I would also have Spybot: http://www.spybot.info/
