Don't use more then one av, firewall and anti spyware, more app don't mean more secure, they mean more conflict.

all you need is a good one.

eset smart security and malwarebytes or spysweeper will give you all the av/firewall/anti spyware you ever need.

but keep in mind being safe and clean is 80% dependent on your commonsense and 20% on what apps you use, lets say there was one av that was the best and one firewall that was the best and one anti spyware that was the best, if we have all 3 of those, and used very little common sense, within minutes if not seconds, our pc would be infected or hacked and ultimately vulnerable.

So its not about which app or how many security apps you have, its about how much commonsense you use.
 
Anti virus is good only if they are updated -AVG, avira, kaspersky, norton, etc.
I am using MSE, my firewall is ON, I turn on windows update and I don't log on using an administrator account.
I also tried configuring User Policy - this is the best but you will loss control if done wrong.
I have tried Deep Freeze, Sanboxie when I surf on heavily infected site and it works.
 
I have been using ZenOK Free Antivirus for over a month now & after using Norton, McAfee, AVG and PC-Illin, I say ZenOK wins hands down. Fast scanning, very frequent updates and great detection rates, along with a online backup (use of resources) makes it a winner.
