Sounds enough to me

Remember if you have to many virus scanners on your system then they will start to conflict and you will end up venerable on unsecured.

all you need is anti virus program either Avast, Notion or Kaspasky or something similar there is about 10 to choose from

all about as good as each other

Mal-ware Bytes professional and zone alarm firewall

and that is all you are well over doing it

still each to there own Huh?

remember you can only protect yourself to a degree viruses and other mail-ware can get though anti virus systems they are out smarting them every day just be cautious what you download and weather or not you trust the source it is coming from

I am a developer and remove viruses all the time it is easier than you think to write code that is malicious and buy pass the anti virus systems as a safe file I have done extent research and programming and found that you can write something bad and the anti virus system will say it is safe :(

so caution is the answer not every single av available

Kind Regards

3 Layered Security

1 Software Firewall: example Comodo
1 Realtime Anti Virus: example Avast
1 Realtime Antimalware (plus 1 on demand Antimalware - Free) example Malwarebytes Pro - Not Free[/color]


Windows 7 Firewall is good but a Software Firewall gives you greater control of what comes in and out of your computer.

Browser Add Ons

WOT - Web Of Trust

AD Block Plus

Optional:

Flash Block

No Script
