Security software

I have read tons of forum posts, articles in magazines and people talking about it. Security has always been a subject with A lot of opinions with right and wrongs.

I whoever will give you great tips on free software that will help you secure your computer.
I have tested all of them and I know it’s really good security-softwares. Enjoy!

#1 Firewall
First of all, A good firewall. Even if you think no hacker will even try attacking your PC it’s always good securing you from attacks from bots etc and of course keeping spambots, trojans and other nasty code that may already be in your PC from getting access of your Internet connection.

The best firewall is free. Comodo firewall is the best firewall out there. With it’s new interface in version 3 is easy to setup and easy to manage. Get Comodo firewall for free here

#2 AntiVirus
It’s always hard to find a good antivirus that you are comfortable with and this is the one’s i like.

Paid:
NOD32 from ESET is the absolute best antivirus on the market. NOD32 always strikes the best result in AV-Comparatives antivirus tests. This is a standalone testcenter and it’s the only antivirus tests I trust.

On this site you will find independent comparatives of Anti-Virus software. All products listed in our comparatives are already a selection of some very good anti-virus products.
(www.av-comparatives.org)

Free:
There is some good free antivirus available as well.
The top 3 best ones is: AviraAntivir, AvastHome, AVG

• Avast (www.avast.com)
  Avast is the only one that protects against Spyware and you can change skin on the user interface.

• Avira (www.free-av.com)
  AviraAntivir is a really good antivirus but you will get a popup from Avira on every update with some commercial.

• AVG (free.grisoft.com)
  Ugly user interface but a strong antivir and it’s the only one capable of searching email through a standalone emailclient like thunderbird.

#3 Anti Spyware

There is alot of Anti spyware programs out there and in general they are really good.
Some free ones I like is:

• AVG Anti-Spyware Free Edition (free.grisoft.com)
• Ad-Aware 2007 Free (www.lavasoftusa.com)
• A-squared Free (www.emsisoft.com)

#4 Anti-Malware (www.comodo.com)
A must have is Comodo Anti-Malware, you should install it even if you have a Anti-Virus installed. And it’s made by Comodo so it’s free. Download and install.
