What Security do you use?

Tweaked firewall in router plus ESET Smart Security Business Edition.

I also have W7 firewall still on for what is worth

I am not disagreeing with you, but I would be interested to see where you have seen this?

From what I've read the testing by that site is dubious at best. Look how high Comodo are (and so they'd have no vested interest to dispute it) and even they say the testing is flawed.

I use Returnil virtual system and sandboxie, i havnt had any prblems so far, been using for over a year now;once youlearn hoe to use them they work great ;its just understanding what theyre about at first that i found hard but now they make complete sense, also listening to some of the tech podcasts,{podnutz ,mike tech show} those guys reccomend the built in system restore as a under used and appreciated tool, & flashblock for firefox ,also adblockplus .

I use avg free version, have been for years, never had a virus. Got rid of Norton as it really slowed down my laptop.

I think you'll find it'll the other way round. As from 2009, AVG is dead slow, whereas Norton is actually quite speedy.

I have a laptop with a very basic firewall (IPfilter) and no antivirus or antispyware at all, use it all over the place and never have any problems (except sometimes connecting to networks).


OK I finaly got a pentium M to run openBSD
