What Security do you use?

One big protection is being behind a router, like the ones provided by ISPs O2, Be, etc.

Macafee is not that great (balloons and eats memory), even though we have it on unlimited licence we still install free antivirus software. Avira is good, downside is a popup everytime you start the PC (but only when you start the PC, so not that bad). AVG has become a control freak and thrusts too many features down your throat. Antispyware is overkill, it will just slow the system down. Better to be a more careful web browser and not visit dodgy sites.

My setup:
Router with firewall.
Linux. LOL

Whats 'deefreeze'?

Can you supply a link?

AFAIK it's called Deep Freeze: faronics (dot) com

(Sorry, can't post links just now)

try here for DeepFreeze
I ran it for about 6 months then changed to this
mainly because it is more flexible and FREE

I use Avast home edition (free), never have any problems i dont understand why anyone pays for an antivirus when theres so many free ones that are just as good, although from experience i would say a little pc know how and common sense helps when dealing with the internet

This may of already come up but I cant find any reference.

Its renewal time again for my Internet Security and I was wondering whether anyone has any advise comments on a value for money Internet security package suitable for a Mac powerbook?

Many thanks.

I use AVG 8.5, S&D Spybot and a periodic scan with Malwarebytes

meanastheycome

Also i use A SQUARED FREE from download.com this scans very thoroughly better than anything else.
both cost NOTHING
and crap cleaner and glary utilities,malware bytes anti malware
and i run Peer Guardian 2 all the time check them out all at download.com.
FREE is the catchword here and they all work..
i have been virus and spyware free for 3 years

On my laptop AVIRA is popping up a lot and sometimes fills the screen especially when I am in the middle of doing some banking. I am about to uninstall it. Also, every day there is a little box at the top right of the screen telling me about an upgrade.

I have a seperate computer built as a router with a custom firewall and AVG installed on my actual computer
