I m currently using follwing for pc protection from viruses & spywares & adwares....

1)Window Firewall
2)Tiny Firewall
3)kaspersky Anti Virus 6
4)Spybot Search & destroy
5)Spyware Blaster
6)Ad Aware SE
7)process Guard

I'm running Sygate Firewall and Nod32! and my comp is 24hrs-365days online

I have enterprise apps at home. Microsoft ISA Server on laptop and desktop, and firewall in my Cisco router. Plus I never visit porn/spurious sites or install any nonstandard apps

I am using these!!
  1. Windows Built in Firewall + Tiny
  2. AVG Anti Virus 7.5
  3. Spybot Search & destroy
  4. Spyware Blaster
  5. Ad Aware SE
No matter what you use, be always ready for an attack.

using
1. windows firewall
2. nod32 antivirus
3. pctools spyware doctor

Linux :D

otherwise

Zone Alarm + AVG + AdAware SE

just spybot, no antivirus. i need laptop to be blazing fast. a fresh install of windows every 3 months works wonders and keeps hard drive clean

I am running following
1) ALL Windows Updates & Security Patches
2) Disabled unwanted Services which are related to network & not required by me as of now.
2) Norton Corp Edition (set to daily update)
3) Stock Windows Firewall :p

no problems so far.

Never had any significant virus attack. Heres my list:

1. Windows updates and patches
2. Norton
3. Ad-Aware
4. MS Defender
5. Sygate firewall.

And a clean install every 4 months.

Never had any virus and spyware attack
1. Comodo firewall
2. AVG anti spyware
3. AVG anti virus
4. DSL modem + wireless router give me 2 hardware firewalls!

Besides this I occasionally analyze for rootkits and rogue anti spyware analyzers.
Browsing is done via firefox and opera only with IE rarely used.
Never had to reinstall too!

i simply don't use winduhs(!) at all! no winduhs, no virus!

I only use Antivir antivirus system... rest keeping anything on slows down the internet speed and pc performance..I use my pc mainly for games and designing and checking mails.

Recently when I installed one software in my pc I kept my Kaspersky AV off for few minutes & when I restarted pc without my knowledge I was infected within few minutes......I tried to scan but couldnt disinfect virus completely.....it was showing annoying pop up at right hand corner & I tried many thing but coulndt get through....it was "Antivermin" showing pop ups & redirecting to perticuler site.....at one time I thought of fomatting HD but as always I found this method not good as its a last option for me anytime....

I checked entries with spyware blaster & to my horror found "zlob" entries disabled.....this shows in red.....I checkd them all again & found out registry entries & deleted them all through registry........

Point is we cant live without AV even for a few minutes.....even if we use multiple spywares & other stuff we can get infected if we misses just by few seconds online without them.

An AV and a Good firewall is a MUST on any networked PC running any version of windows

Once my friends computer had crashed and i had to reinstall XP on it, post reinstall we connected the computer to the net to download Zonealarm suite from my server, Every 2-3 mins our computer was attacked and would shutdown as this was XP SP1 :( eventually we managed to download the SUITE and found a few spyware and trojans on the pc.

:)

norton antivirus 2006 version does the protection for my pc....
