So, after a rather nasty brush with a potential Keylogger this morning on WoWEurope, I've been thinking about net security. Currently I'm using Comodo Firewall, Hitman Pro ( a great collection of free antispyware programs that are run all through this single one ), and AVG. I'm considering changing AVG to Avast, but it doesn't seem that much different aside from the GUI.
So anyway, what software do you use? Any recommendations? ~~~ [13:27:43] [Sabator] peter would be the worst batman ever though. "turn on the bat-signal" "right!" *turns on huge foglight, beams an image of striped pantsu into the sky*

I find that hard to believe.

I don't. If I wasn't forced to, I wouldn't even set a password on my computer.

Not even a firewall? I suppose you can get by with no antivirus and antispyware if you're careful...

Nope. I have my firewalls disabled.

Again, hard to believe. I suppose I have no reason to not believe you though.

You have to keep in mind that he's using Windows.

Macs are infinitely more secure than windows, but isn't a Firewall still a good idea?

If you think you have something on your computer worth protecting, and you know what you're doing... But neither of those fits me.

Music isn't worth protecting?

It saves having to burn it all again, is what I meant. It wasn't exactly a quick job to burn all your files back in once your last PC frazzled.
