Question
Sir,
I use internet multiple times a day and mainly browse job sites and some trusted sites like youtube.com, wwe.com etc. How much secure I am? Recommend a free antivirus solution and an antispyware solution. Should I use Mcafee siteadvisor or WOT(Firefox add-on) to know the reputation of any site?

Answer

You cant go wrong with Ad-Aware. A great company with great support.

Dont forget your Firewall settings.

Hope this helps,
