Zone Alarm

Zone Alarm as a firewall, it works great and is free.

Norton AV as your anti-virus software.

I used both Digital Patrol and The Cleaner as trojan cleaners.

Adaware Plus to remove spyware (files / cookies / reg edits)

I'll second the suggestions listed above (except for teh trojan removers.) I haven't tried them yet.

I have ZoneAlarm firewall and Norton AV (older version for Win95) and Pop-up Stopper

Zone Alarm is good for people who dont really want to secure their system but just want to install something that will stop MOST people.

I would go for Black Ice for starters as this gives you much more control over your firewall.

The reason Zone Alarm is free should be obvious.

If you would like to see some of the ways that allow you to access remote PCs no matter what firewall they are running the take 15 mins to read through my security section at www.thecrawfords.cjb.net - keypad password is 3233.

Email me if you need any questions answered.
