Can you guys suggest any good security software?

I've only been using a virus scanner so far - but I am getting fed up with spam mails, popups and I fear the scanner won't even find all the serious stuff - dread to think a hacker could be after my lil PC to abuse it for their sinister purposes.

So, I am willing to go and do something about it; I am even willing to spend money on it.

I just need your advise first.

I run AVG free http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1
Zone Alarm free http://www.zonelabs.com/store/conten...eeDownload.jsp

You can also try Ewido which has been renamed, ewido anti-spyware 4.0 becomes
AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5, very good scanner http://www.ewido.net/en/product/

I run Spybot, and BlackICE, and McAfee antivirus, all of which I recommend.
I run the ewido online scan now and then to get an 'outside opinion.'

I am running Norton Internet Security - it's a full fledged security suite; installs out of the box and takes care of everything ranging from viruses (virii?) and spam to targeted hacking attacks and internet popups.

i agree with spooks norton internet security is about the best around, but have a look on the microsoft site for other software; i recomend Symantec, McAfee Inc. and CA.

I also thoroughly recommend Norton Internet Security. The latest versions handle viruses, spam mail, hackers, spyware, adware, the whole lot.

also even the older versions of norton internet security (norton internet security 2005 up) are ok as long as you update reguary
