    For the whole of this year, I've only picked up one attack of malware (and that was my own fault through a dodgy P2P download). Apart from this, I've had nothing, not even one item.

    All I use is........

    Norton Antivrus
    AdAware............with the paid for Adwatch on constant scan
    Spybot
    Zonealarm Pro
    Firefox............I think this has been the biggest reason I've had nothing, it doesn't install anything without asking first (unlike IE). When I used to use IE, I always found one or two bits of !!!!!! every scan.

    SpywareGuard and SpywareBlaster do the same as AdWatch but for free. I also have the Teatimer in Spybot running so 3 items guarding against intruders along with Norton AV&FW and the FW in my router.
    A check with Shields Up from http://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?rh1dkyd2 always shows "Stealth" on every port too.
