Look 'n' Stop
NOD32

My variants:

• Windows Firewall
• NOD32
• Ad-aware se Personal
• Panda ActiveScan

 

Either the best around or...

NOD32
Kerio Firewall
A2 Anti-Malware (paid)
GesWall

 

NOD32
Spyware Terminator (Realtime Shield)
SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition
GMER

 

1. NOD32 - for Antivirus, NOD32 heuristics
2. AntiVirusKit - for Kaspersky & Bitdefender virus defs & heuristics
3. Ewido - for anti-malware
4. Look'n'Stop - for client side firewall, leaks, program control, etc.

+ common sense & trying to keep semi-up-to-date

What I would NOT run (although I own them):

- Outpost Pro (bloat, imho)
- ProcessGuard (doesn't work with several off my apps, including some games)

WHAT I consider running (in near future):

- Trend Micro Antispyware (has been getting good results in tests lately, as an addition to replacement to Ewido)
- Jetico 2 (once it is fully out of beta and tested for performance, as a replacement to LnS)

+ in addition the freeware/on-the-net alternatives (l.

 

Given option is freeware:

* NOD32 or AVG as Antivirus
* Adaware SE or MS Windows defender as AntiSpy
* Zone Alarm/Sygate or MS Windows Firewall as Firewall
* Hijackthis or Deep process viewer for process monitoring

Don't for get to lock down Windows security properties - close unnecessary services and disable any third party browser extensions (BHOs & Toolbars).

 

AOL KAV + Cyberhawk + Comodo Firewall + (optional Windows Defender but honestly i don't think you need it with KAV)

I don't think there could be any better free combination out there.

 

In your oppinion, is Comodo free firewall better than Jetico? As I'm thinking of changing.

@Suggers
It's easier to use, thats for sure. Nice GUI too, memory consumption is a bit higher but it's fixed and won't go any higher. Loads of features, good tech support and fast developement. And honestly i think Comodo is also more secure. That leak test was done with very old Comodo Firewall so they don't mean anything.

Do you use KAV6 and comodo together? It's just I could never get KAV6 to work with comodo, and one of the mods on kaspersky forum confirmed that Comodo was the only (or one of the few) firewalls that conflicted with KAV6.

Since then however a newer version of KAV6 has been released so maybe this conflict has been fixed..
