securing a new pc

I have a new win 7 64 bit pc behind a firewalled router. So far as security I have Comodo firewall/NAV 2010/winpatrol/spywareblaster. Do i need more

 

This article offers guidance in setting up a new PC before you connect to the Internet.

 

My advice would be to uninstall all the security software you listed and go for a simple secure setup.

1. Enable automatic updates (Windows + Adobe + Java, etc.).
2. Enable windows firewall.
3 Install a AV program, that uses minimum system resourcess.
(ex. Microsoft Security Essentials - Avira AntiVir - avast)
4. Implement system and online data backup.
(ex. Windows 7 image backup - Carbonite, Skydrive online backup)
5. Think (Mail, Web, Software)

No need for anything else.

Advanced - Malware is history
6. Use a limited user account (LUA).
7.Setup SRP/Parental Controls.
