What Antivirus software, antispyware software, and firewall do you use? I currently use AVG Free, Spybot: Search & Destroy, and Windows Firewall. [/color]

AVG free, Avast free, Sygate personal firewall, Spybot, Scotty & Avorax. Plus M/Softs anti-spyware thingy.

I have the above running all the time, I also use yet another anti-virus once a week to triple check (Anti-vir).

I haven't had any trouble for years, I don't know if that's because I'm careful, or lucky!!

hasn't there already been a topic with the same question ?

Anyway, for Anti-virus, I use Avast Home for on-access protection, it works very good, I get a lot of virus warning on some sites, so that means he does work .
From time to time I do a full scan using FreeAV and/or Bitdefender, only viri that got onto my computer is Eicar (allow it) and a worm (start.exe), but that one is in an zip folder and can't infect as long as I don't run it.

For Spyware, I use ad-aware and Spybot S&D, sometimes I run A-squared and looong time ago I've run M$ Anti-spyware.
For the rest, I have spywareblaster, but that's useless, since I don't use IE or FF (Opera rocks all the way), but I have a good HOSTS file.

Firewall is Sygate Personal Firewall Pro, damned good one

Indeed, this is not the first time this question has been asked...

My father buyed Norton Internet Security 2006 a few days ago, we should get it in a few days or something. For antispyware I use: Mircosoft Antispyware, Ad-aware and Spybot: search and Destroy....

Heh here we go once again.
I use the firewall on my router and windows service pack 2 firewall.
Nod32 anti virus all the way ( on all my computers ) its simply the best out there at the moment.
For spyware i use the combination most people seem to use which is adaware 6 personal and Spybot Search & Destroy.
So my system i feel to the occasional script kiddie and trojans are pretty safe.

For antivirus, I use CA eTrust Ez Antivirus, it is small, powerful and fast, just what I need. I would recommend to anyone to get this, at only $20 (or so) for registration of the product (indefinately), it is not bad (plus the constant auto-matic updates).

As for anti-spyware, I use a two, as they miss things from each other. I use Spybot S&D and Adaware. When setting up Spybot, don't use the immunize, I did and my system literrally went on super-defense mode. I couldn't even access java games.

And for my firewall, I use the all-time favourite, Zonelabs Zonalarm. I think it is great, and nobody can change my mind.

At one point, I did McAfee suite, but then I realized that haven't all your bases covered with one porgram set, can be useless. That is why I use a variety of software/freeware to defend my computer.

I use Avast Home Edition for antivirus, a combination of Lavasoft's Ad-Aware and Spybot: Search and Destroy for anti-spyware, and ZoneAlarm for firewall (my router also has a built-in firewall.) It all works pretty well for me, and it was all free, with the exception of the router, of course.

I use Mac OS X and feel pretty safe doing so. But I'm behind a router so that is a different deal. The only software I use is Little Snitch, which alarms you when an app tries to connect to the internet. Until now I haven't gotten anything suspicious until today, when "configd" a Mac OS X service constantly tried to access the net. I didn't do anything and when I pinged/traced/whoised the IP I didn't get anything with a name...

I am currently using avast! Home Edition on my desktop computer along with Sygate Personal Firewall Pro which I did not purchase but just got the serial somewhere They both work very well for me but avast! is like Symantec products, hogging much of your memory. Sygate, on the other hand, uses only 8MB and you can actually terminate some services on avast!'s control panel such as P2P Shield or whatsoever. You don't really need it anyway since I don't really see the point of using it when you already have real-time protection by its Standard Shield. As for antispyware, I am using Microsoft Antispyware Beta, Spybot - Search & Destroy, SpywareBlaster and Ad-Aware SE Personal Edition. I also have a hardware firewall in my 2Wire HomePortal modem.

On my laptop, I use AntiVir Personal Edition, a reliable antivirus that doesn't take much of your memory away from you together with the Windows XP SP2 built-in firewall. The antispyware bundle is the same, excluding Ad-Aware SE Personal Edition. I do not run Warez P2P on this computer since it's only a laptop and I don't expect it to blow up in my face...heat is a problem since I think AMD processors heat up too fast in laptops.
