ok we see loads and loads of antivirus and firewalls but can we actulay coutn on any of them to protect us from hackers and spamers in my opinion kaspersky is a ver good Av and the anti-Hacker that comes with it is very powerfull and easy to use . but as we know there is no perfect software.. but it's of course bettrer then any norton version or mcaffe .

please leave a feedback when choose a option in the poll so we can shar opinions .

I use NOD32 and Sygate Personal Firewall Pro. I like them very much.

I use Norton 2005. of course it´s not free from annoying behaviour sometimes, but when you know which services you can disable in msconfig it's pretty resource-friendly. I tested a couple of desktop firewalls already and there´s no app which is all good. Panda Internet Security for example is often a winner in tests, but for me it´s a total piece of crap.
there´s nothing better than netfilter/iptables on *nix.... :)

When it comes to protecting my pc, i leave that to the russians, kaspersky rules. norton sux bigtime and macafee(sp?) is nice as well.
