Quick Survey

Can everyone list what they use for, Anti Virus, Pop up blocker, system cleaner, etc. I'm using AVG, AdAware, BPS Spy ware remover, and TuneUp utility 2007. Seems to work great but wanted to know if there's anything better. Thanks.

Also, Any ideas on how to cleanup Outlook 2007. I get the off the wall emails from time to time and can't seem to block them from Outlook.

I run AVG, ZoneAlarm firewall, and Firefox. I haven't used any Spyware stuff in years. I reformat about once a year so it's not a huge deal.

The lowest failure rate is not good? I would think a high failure rate would be bad.

Oops, stupid brain. Thanks for keeping me in line Toby. NOD32 man I am now. it is free or on the ftp.

[Chi_Townz]

I use Firefox, adaware and Trend anti virus.. as for the outlook thing, your best bet is to not use it. I use my DSL account at Yahoo but I have google as well.

Was I the only one running IE. I downloaded FireFox and really do like it a lot better than IE.

Nah, all the old geezers using AOL use it too.

[LA_MERC_T4rg3T]

I use IE 7. Firefox has just as many security flaws and the more people that download it, the more that they will find.

I am using Avast! for antivirus. Seems pretty good from the barrage of tests I put it through on my machine and its free.

used to be a big firefox fan. but now i am loving IE 7 just as much. as for the virus blocker comp cam with macaffy and iam please so far with it. i still stick with ad aware and spybot search and destroy to sweep about once a month. lots of porn site visits lol. going to go check out this AVG sounds good.

[LA_MERC_Andyconda]

NOD32 sounds better but I need Toby to get it for me, hint hint, nudge nudge.
