Well, That is a great list inspiron!
As far as Antiviruses and Firewalls are concerned, I am sure these are the best ones available in the market. But I will like to share one anti-spyware and I think that is one of the best tool available in the market Spyware Blaster - http://www.javacoolsoftware.com The best thing about this software is that it makes some changes in the registry and beleive me it is safe..very safe, I am using it personally and havent experienced any problems and because it makes some changes in the registry, we dont have to keep this software running and due to which it never puts load on the memory also...It is like having all round protection without compromising on memory load

Hey thanks mayank.. You gave me some moltivation to make this thread better and useful, especially when you are a moderator.
Anyway, Spyware Blaster seemed to be created with Java language, from the hints of its domain name. If that is so, the software would probably slow down a computer during scanning. I am using Norton products now and I'm suspecting that Norton products are programmed with Java language as well. Looking at the way they load and scan the computer gave me that feeling. Well I guess Java programs always takes longer time to load? |

I think it's purpose is to prevent spyware from infecting your computer in the first place. |

tt3 is absolutly right inspiron!
It is just that the domain is javacoolsoftware...It has nothing to do with java  One more thing..as tt3 has mentioned that it is not a spyware scanner..it stops spywares from installing...If you'll install this software and you visit any site which contains the spyware and tries to install on it..it will fail and the good & bad thing is that you dont get a notification! |

So it's just an automatic detector or something..? Anyway Spyware Blaster looks cool, at least for its interface..
Only if Spyware Blaster includes a scanner, that would probably be a perfect Anti Spyware software.. |
