The Best way to protect computer. Security suites or Individual soft-wares?
Im currently using:
Windows XP SP2 – currently updated!
Comodo Firewall – Latest and updated!
Avast 4.7 Professional – updated everyday!
Spybot S&D – updated weekly!
Tuneup uttilities 2006 – updated monthly!
thats about it! So is it better to have Individual softwares to protect my computer or do i need to buy one of those expensive, profesional lookin Internet security suites?
so what will it be?
please answer only positive comments!

Trend Micro Internet 2008 suite is rated best and Vista Ready….

You could keep Comodo (about best) and break up the suite and get Trend Micro AntiVirus/AntiSpyware package as well….
SEE VB100 Award for antivirus (top world award for antivirus) and Trend Micro is a winner. Their antispyware has been consistently rated as best with Webroot Spysweeper and CounterSpy since the beginning. In personal testing – it is best.
Since you like agressive protection you may want to consider A-Squared Anti-Malware if you know how to identify false positives or forget it then if not. Webroot and industrial Sophos Antivirus (VB100 Award winner) put together their suite but firewall takes a few clinker comments.
Trend Micro firewall has four different settings including home network, normal, laptop wireless -2, and has more features for “attacks”. Comodo is agressive and can be overly tedious to use as it is agressive like hotdog Kaspersky and Norton antivirus products. But – ultimate paranoa sometimes dictates using nothing but agressive security software such as these. They are generally nothing but an annoyance continually submitting “maybe a PUP” (Potentially Unwanted Program).

I don’t believe in security suites. It’s hard enough for a *specialized* tool (antivirus, firewall, antispy) to keep up with all of the malware in its own area, let alone to expect a generalized suite of utilities to be the best in each individual area.
What you have is similar to mine and is pretty good.
In addition…
I use and recommend Comodo’s BOClean for *real-time* antimalware protection:

Another thing that is similar to the immunization feature of Spybot is SpywareBlaster. It uses no resources; it is a complementary immunization to Spybot:

McAfee’s Site Advisor installs on your toolbar and gives you a good idea of the safety of a site:

And finally, you need some better on-demand antispyware than Spybot. I use and recommend Superantispyware and Spyware Doctor Starter Edition.

I like individual as you can then pick the best of all programs. Many suites become bloated and have some very good programs and some that are fair.
