----------------------------------
If you install the above software, and update it every 7 days or less...
NUFFIN WILL EVER GET IN!
EVER!!!
You have my personal guarantee that the above software will protect your system, your identity, and your online transactions from hackers & crooks.

Remember this simple formula:
Sygate+AVG+SWB+SSD+Google+AdAware = 99% online security
YOU provide the other 1% by using common sense

Because Security is EVERYTHING....

..and the PENTAGON does _NOT_ run Windows. It runs Unix!!

Don't forget ZoneAlarm. It can multitask, also very good for online safety. Good work man.

Norton has less system overhead (other words: system run fast...yes it does) and AVG is updated several times PER DAY as threats arise. Norton might only be updated once every few days. As a TSR, Norton sucks.

That would be funny if it had anything to relate to this topic.

i find windows antispyware to do a pretty damn good job. Microsuck's got a good anti-spyware proggie, lets see if they can cook up a good OS to accompany it :O

[X-EvansBasher-X]

OMG....i wonder how many backdoors M$oft has built into that for their own hack0rz. Seriously though, I hope Linux someday brings down Windows. When Apple goes 100% to Intel processors, a Linux-based OS (that is pretty darn good...minus that Bonjour transponder s**t) will be available for cheap. I wish Steve Jobs well on his mission...get rich & bring DOWN the Micro$oft empire!! (yes, I love Linux. got a problem M$oft fanboys?)

lag, norton isn't bad as long as you have a nice rig, cuz apparently alot of people complain about it being a resource hog. this pc i'm on is a standard one, and NAV doesn't slow it down one bit. avg is interesting though...its free, updates alot, etc. and apparently picks things up that aren't even viruses. at least thats what my nephew's dad says. he canned NAV and installed avg...a few programs that i installed for him, which were basic stuff for ripping dvd's, avg said they were viruses lol that was funny when i heard it so how reliable is THAT.

Its a resoure hog when it scans(which lasts a long ass time) and slows down your performance considerably

If you want to have the definitive (and really easy) way of getting spyware/malware/virii off your system, try this thread at one of my favorite sites. Once you have a grasp of what software they use (all of which, I might add..is 100% freeware) then you can avoid probs in the future. Good luck. Don't worry about putting me out of a job, there will always be more lusers who will need support.

LOL @ norton not being a ressource hog. Check how much ram it takes and cpu time...Even on latest systems, 1mb of RAM stays 1mb of RAM ya know.


My solution would consist of:

AVG Antivirus
Sygate Personal Firewall
Ad-Aware SE
Spybot Search and Destroy
Ewido Security Suite
HijackThis!
M$ Antispyware
Spyware Doctor
Kaspersky Antivirus (for some AVG can't destroy)
Mozilla Firefox + Extensions
-Adblock
-Nuke Anything
PeerGuardian 2
Netlimiter
EasyCleaner

Scan with a different antivirus/anti-spyware every night and you're clean. ^___^
Visit the sites hardc0regamer posted, they are badass. I like the last one alot, it includes great tools.

[X-EvansBasher-X]

polobunny, if you send me the links to those sites (the ones I didn't post) I will update to include them. My setup is more simple (most noobs roll their eyes when dealing with 2 programs..imagine 15!?) but yours covers security down to about 99.9% of stopping everything. Very good work! +REP for you.

Have you ever considered college as a Certified systems security professional? In the U.S. you would be guaranteed a job, especially if some hacking skills go with that. And the IP/hardware fundamentals.
