For people who use free internet security software. What do you use?
I have Avast as my antivirus, Comodo as my firewall and other internet security (except its antivirus which isnt great) and Spybot Search and destroy. This setup seems to work, what about you what do you use?

Scores: Avast: 93% AVG 85% Avira 83% MSE 65%
Lots of people will say AVG because it’s so easy to use. It’s designed for the “basic” user, but is definitely not the best out there. This is probably the best article I’ve ever read. It lists all sorts of great free programs: http://www.techsupportforum.com/security-center/general-computer-security/115548-pc-safety-security-what-do-i-need.html
On one of my personal machines I run all free software, and currently this is what I have: Panda Cloud AV, Comodo FW, WOT, Site Advisor, Safe Web. I also use Malwarebyte’s, SpyBot, and SpywareBlaster, but those 3 I only run once a month to do manual scans.
