AboutLorry Expertise I can answer most questions regarding viruses/Trojans and help to remove them.
Experience This happens to be of interest to me as it boggles my mind that people have nothing better to do than to write a virus. Wish these people, the ones who write viruses would put the knowledge to good use instead. My job as a local tech involves removing viruses and/or spyware.
currently i have the following software to protect my computer
zonealarm pro (firewall)
spyware doctor
the shield deluxe 2008
but i think im using too many softwares
and sometimes i get inundated with warnings from these
softwares
can you recommend me which softwares i should use
to have my computer protected? (not too many, just what is needed)
thanks
ANSWER: Hi John,
You only need the Zone Alarm Pro as that is a firewall, anti-virus, and antispwyare program.
Hope this helps!

QUESTION:
thanks a lot for your answer
that's helpful
just wondering what would happen if i used 2 programs?
zonealarm pro and spyware doctor?
would this provide extra security? or would the 2 programs crash or sth like that?
thanks
Answer Hi John,
You really shouldn't need to run both at the same time. You might want to run a scan with Spyware Doctor every two weeks or so, to verify there is nothing on the PC.
The main thing is to have an anti-virus program that is up to date and run a virus scan once a week, a spyware program to check for spyware periodically, and a firewall program.
