    :( This is against all that I believe in PC security. I believe in layered protection. So it is a tough one. But I picked AV, which will cover the widest aray of malware. Specific brand would require more research then I have done to date because I believe in layered protection I do not rely on one of anything.

    NOD would be a likely choice or KAV. With only one to pay for price would not enter in to the decision as it usually does.

    I would not be without the router that has a hardware firewall that was working.

    O.K. maybe that is cheating. sorry. ;)

    I use Outpost Firewall Pro only, but I rely on IE's security zones as well. :)

    Just one?
    It's either my firewall, Kerio 2.1.5 or System Safety Monitor. Probably it would be SSM. My ports are all closed so I don't absolutely have to use the firewall. Fortunately this is a hypothetical question so I won't be relying on just one app. I feel I could trust Kerio 2.1.5 and SSM together to get it done.

    Well believe it or not, my number 1 security app. is Wilderssecurity.com.
    With this site and some time well spent learning the valuable knowledge it contains, you can do much more to protect your computer and data than any single security program.

    System Safety Monitor would fill matters just fine for me IMO.

    I'm not using Tiny2005 anymore cause atm I'm swearing by KIS2006

    but still, without choosing any security suite, it would be Tiny2005 / SSM or AppDefend.
