Re: What Security Applications Should I Use with Windows Vista
Hi :Usually the Best Security programs work with BOTH Win XP and Vista Operating Systems,
although I would NOT have Spybot on my computer . Although the Built-In Vista OS firewall
is half-way decent, I have heard it is "Rules-based" . Most people prefer the easier-to-
operate "Application-based" firewall, and the One I recommend is PC Tools Firewall
Plus, available at http://www.pctools.com/firewall/.
Would recommend you uninstall the security programs that came with the computer ;
in the case of McAfee, you should follow THEIR Advise at
http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=107083&lc=1033 .

Re: What Security Applications Should I Use with Windows Vista
Hey unluky haven't seen you for a long time lol seems lke your always on this issue of antivirus antispware etc etc so have you finally quit ms?
For antivirus i suggest avast always since its free and its the best free thing out there
For antispyware i recommend combination of superantispyware and spybot serach and destroy.
Im lenient on firewall and usually i just run windows firewall, i see no point for an external firewall that much so either go with the windows firewall
I would also recommend spywareblaster for preventing spyware to get on your computer.
All these runs on vista fine and work fine.

Re: What Security Applications Should I Use with Windows Vista

thank you all!
Ahh one more question though!
is it wise to have two real time protection or should there be only one? because i already have this korean program as real time protection but im not sure if it is a good one or not, also, I have a teatime protection....
ahah yea, i visit PC World for security informations, i find the members here very informative and helpful! :P
yep, i quit MS a long time ago, but I have moved to differnet country just 5 days ago and I have been busy lately. pluss im trying to get into this private highschool so i will be even more busy
but I will still visit PC World quite often (at lesat try to )

Re: What Security Applications Should I Use with Windows Vista
Only have one antivirus one antispyware one firewall running at startup. Each program varies at how many real time protection shields there are. Avast has like 7 and its ok. If your antivirus and antispyware programs have realtime protection enabled its ok. oh so you moved to korea now? o why?
Re: What Security Applications Should I Use with Windows Vista
ah okay, the korean real time program turned out to be anti-virus so I guess I am fine
.hm well, my parents want me to go to private highschool in korea, which are for korean kids with excessive english abilities. and the school is reallya amazing supposedly. a lot of kids from the school go to top univerisites in USA. so, yep, trying to do that as well :P
