    Default security

    I have AVG 8.0 Free Edition, AdAware, Spybot, and Spywareblasters oon my computer. So far they work well together. Is there any chance that they could end up conflicting each other. What firewall will be compatible with what I already have on my computer?

    Your configuration is fine. No problems. Any standalone firewall will do.

    I hate personal firewalls it always freezes multiplayer games so every time I play (lots everyday) I got to turn it of so i just run through and external firewall

    its like this

    PC-Lan Switch-Firewall-Router-Internet

    I bet there's a name for it but I don't know what its called, but its really good blocks 99% of all the viruses spyware etc...

    oh and don't use windows firewall, or any microsoft software for that matter, (I only use windows and that's only because Linux doesn't run my games) and don't use IE USE FIREFOX!!! as soon as I moved to Firefox from IE I got about 90% less spyware, oh and windows secruity center is useless to, if it doesn't totally AGGRIVATE you then its prolly ok to leave it on, but for a gammer like me NO WAY

    If there was such a thing that would block almost everything, past and future too... that'd be awesome.

    bitman said that Mozilla Firefox isn't really that 'safer' than Microsoft Internet Explorer, because it can't be exploited using ActiveX usince Firefox doesn't support it. Besides that, I feel that Mozilla Firefox has the extra bells&whistles plus a friendly user interface with community support :o).

    Hope the Security Center isn't useless when malware disables your firewall and anti-virus programs.

    And FF has some nice addons, like adblock+, flashblock... Block ad servers using right click adblock frame (and strip end of url to block the whole ad.domain.com or ads.adserver.com)...
    I always get "Congratulations, no immediate threats found!"...

    Question

    I'm thinking about getting a Mac and I was wondering what the best FREE Anti-Virus, Firewall and Anti Spyware programs are, that are Mac compatible?
    If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

    chewdz:

    Here's one:

    But, the results may be skewed (biased) because the test appears to have been sponsored by Comodo. See:
