Hi,
Just reinstalled my pc due to a drive failure and starting to update all my security software.
Here is where I am so far
Hardware
Hardware firewall on my Netgear Router
Software
Comodo Firewall 3.0.15.277
Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0
Prevx 2.0
Mcafee Siteadvisor
run ccleaner as and when needed.
Network Settings
Use OpenDNS as my DNS provider
For internet browsing I use Firefox and have disabled cookies as standard and add them as an exception for the sites I trust. I also have the noscripts extension installed for firefox.
Is there anything I have missed out or should add to the list??
