Question
Whats the best antivirus? antispyware? firewall?
should I use a all in one?

Answer
The latest reviews say Nod32 AntiVirus, Pest Patrol, Spy Sweeper and Kaspersky are the best. But I've seen many visitors use Spyware Doctor, Ad-Aware, Bitdefender, and get great results.

Any Anti-Spyware product worth its salt should be able to do 4 things. It has to scan your Registry, your Drives, delete thru Restart and lastly, scan your memory. Extras would include Reports, notification of available updates, and FREE T-Shirts!

Another word of advice, keep your Browser and its related programs updated.

Lastly, before you click on the OK box for that Download so you can bet on sports in Nigeria thru some Insurance company, Read the ENTIRE License and Privacy information.
