    I'm an ignorant user.

    1. HijackThis v1.99.1
    I'm a regular visitor of the subforum "Malware Removal" at forum SWI.

    2. Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool
    Microsoft's best software in the struggle against malware.
    (It has also the longest name ever given to a security software)

    3. Bazooka Scanner v1.13.03
    The fastest malware scanner, I've ever seen.

    4. Unknown
    That's why I joined WSF to find the 4th one.


    I don't have ProcessGuard, Port Explorer, WormGuard, Trojan Defence Suite, NOD32, File Checker, ID Blaster, MRU Blaster, LooknStop, Acronis, CryptoSuite and RegDefend.
    I can only post in the subforums at the bottom, like polls and ten-forward.
    So it will take awhile to find the 4th one :D

    The setup I use now would be my choice. KAV, Outpost Pro, Ewido and SpywareBlaster.

    This is an easy question with an 'obvious' answer :D :D :D

    Zone Alarm Pro

    KAV

    Ewido

    Process Guard

    So long as you take care of your browser settings you'd be very safe with that lot. :)

    If you can't trust yourself to maintain safe browser settings, then I'd say put RegDefend on instead of Ewido - but what a pity to lose ewido. :'(

    BTW - SpywareBlaster doesn't run, so you can have that as an extra. ;)

    Avast! Professional
    SpySweeper
    Microsoft Antispyware
    (Can't say on the 4th as there still is not a viable Firewall for x64 but would probably be Mcafee Personal Firewall Plus whenever they make it compatible)

    Yes, I'll post a score later tonight or Wednesday night (depending on how many more responses there are).

    Thx. Just eyeballing it right now, it seems like the top vote getters are NOD32, Ewido, KAV, ProcessGuard, and RegDefend. Surprisingly, it doesn't seem like firewalls are getting that many votes. I personally would not be without a sw firewall, but maybe others think the router is enough.

    using firefox ( deerpark2 ) with adblock plus and noscript with cookies deleted on closing pretty much solves any need for a lot of minor applications

    Look n stop ( firewall )
    Kav lite ( anti virus/ trojan/ wormz)
    Benign (complete email anti virus protection)
    process guard

    the above 4 are all either 5 yr licences or life time ( free upgrades) and have cost me around $110 all up.
    this is currently all I am running.
