the AVG, avira and avast are not free for comercial use. lemme add comodore antivirus, free for personal and business forever or maybe someone wanna add on acccess scanning to clamwin? However having an updated antivirus is still not enough nowadays. A recent survey in our network here there are few undetected viruses. the reason is very simple.Virus source codes are widely available nowadays and one can easily alter the code to deter detection.

I got AVG and the same Spybot too. Work wonders. Saves my laptop a lot.. minus all the previous hardware problem.
Well write up.

Great article. Yup, I’ve got one of those free antivirus installed on my computer too, the avira antivirus. Got some bad experiences with norton and pc-cillin, so I decided to junk them and find free ones on the net.

No doubt, hence this paragraph:

In the early days of Windows, firewalls are only available as third party applications. If your Internet connection device doesn’t come with built-in firewall functions, then you have no choice but to enable the Windows firewall.

Perfect? Hell no. Sufficient, probably just enough. It’s always going to be an uphill battle when it comes to Windows in general.

But I’d rather more people cover these five rather than doing nothing at all.

friend, if you think that these 5 is sufficient, believe me it’s not. It’s prob only good to lull people into a false sense of security.

To be 40% safe (just pass, up to neck) you need the physical firewall that comes with a router. Then you have something. Otherwise, nothing can do you any good simply because Windows in itself is a big black insecure hole.

Unfortunate, but true.
