Teh wife just got a new laptop. I know there are some people here who know a bit about antivirus, spyware, etc. stuff. What products are best? I'm not interested in the Norton anymore because I'm not a retard.

AVG is what I use on my home computer. And it's free.

me too. no problems on this machine. i ran Trojan Hunter (not freeware) the other day on a 30 day trial and it came up with nothing.Originally Posted by sooner_born_1960
spybot or adaware are also good freeware for spyware.
i have zonealarm as a firewall on my desktop computer. i'd be interested to know what yous people think about it, too.
i never really liked Zonealarm, i just use the XP one post SP2
that and a router
i also use AVG for virus and spyware
count me in as one who doesnt care fore zone alarm
I go with the router and the xp also...

Keep her computer off.
I use AVG free and Windows Defender free (on my desktop)
What the hell else is she gonna do while she's in your waiting room for hours?
I'm not real smart and whatnot. How does the router help protect; does it serve as a firewall? Our setup is cable --> router --> hardwired to our desktop and wireless to laptop.
Also the new computer has Vista -- anyone know how good its firewall, etc. are?
i would think the Vista firewall is ok, i'm not sure though.
the router puts you on a local network that isn't directly connected to the internet. unless you open ports and forward them, there isn't a way to directly connect to your computer, unless your router is pwn3d
Ditch vista and get Xp pro.

I fly fake airplanes
yeah, there is that...
anything in particular to do to keep the router from pwnage?
a chastity belt, of sorts?
Ask her husband for the drugs?

AVG stamp of approval here. I've never had a single problem with it.
And Vista's firewall is fine.

I use AVG at work and home (for about 2 years at home). It works great.
AVG it is, then.
But only b/c Froz said so. Not OUDoc.
OUDoc is strictly on hand for lortab. And MSContin. But that's it.
And dilaudid.
I was using AVG for awhile, also McAfee.
I started using Regacure for about a year too.
