INTERNET security

I'm using Avast, seems to be good but it does not have Anti Spam!.
So, I have been trying "Spambull" which is spam only, it seems to be good also.
Avast is shareware, Spambull is not.
Any one using these, what do you think/what do you use?...Kenny

Re: INTERNET security

I use Firefox and add blocker plug in for the web. Seems to work well

Mailwasher for email spam - Great program

Symantic for anti virus and firewall - I like these and they supply the company I work for, so I am happy with them.

Running Windows XP but thinking (not very hard) about trying Vista

I should have added I also run Adwatch in active mode and then Spyware blaster and Spyware Terminator but only in scan mode.

And just in case you are wondering I am not paranoid.

Re: INTERNET security

Norton Internet Security - easily the best for flexibility/control
AVG anti-spyware - good freeware app
Spybot Search and Destroy anti-spyware - good freeware app (only use for scanning)
NetLimiter - firewall and internet monitor

As you can see I'm slightly cautious!

Re: INTERNET security

I have a problem with my Norton. When active it doesn't allow any web browsers to load/display content. Bit puzzled as i've had it years am it's always worked fine. At the moment i just diable it, but other family members find that a bit too difficult . It kind of co-incided with me switching to Firefox.

Any ideas?

Re: INTERNET security

So both IE and FF don't work? Or just FF? If the latter's the case, probably Norton is blocking the program, FF, from accessing the internet
