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? ~~~ "Wheels within wheels..."

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...

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

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.

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.
