Mac OS X Leopard

ROFLMAO

Me Avast Home 4.8 + Spybot S&D + Jetico Personal Firewall

Not using a firewall on your PC is akin to a girl asking to be gang-raped.

My line of defense: KIS 2009 + MalwareBytes Anti-Malware 1.31

Antivirus
QuickHeal : Total Security 2009

Firewall
QuickHeal : Total Security 2009

Both Licensed And Updated Till 7th Jan 09

I thought the same. Anyway, coming back to the topic, I use Linux that doesn't require all these anti-whatnots.

^Me too!! Have you enabled the firewall in openSUSE?

Even me. Anti-virus in not the first thing that comes to your mind when you have such a (thread) subject.

I use Ubuntu, anti-virus(es) are such bloatwares!!!

Kaspersky antivirus....

Grrr!!!! Misleading thread title!!

KIS2009 here!

@ pr.itdude

dude the topic is very misleading ....

Nasty title

quit using Windows OS...best protection

N

Topic is misleading for sure :))

By the way I use Avast Free Version at home. In Office its McAfee Corporate Edition

ok ok........i accept .....

its marketing strategy...... "cover pe kuchh aur and andar kuchh aur"
but i tell u, this was not intentional, i didnt thik that way.... :-?

but ur responses make me laugh........ a lots r here interested in conraceptives

hmmmm...............!!!

now.......come to the originally meant purpose.....computer protection haha

Guys tell me one thing,,, now i am thinking to install a firewall....
suggest me some good ones........ gr8 if the firewall gives the combination of proxy firewall and packet-filter firewall.

On Linux: Nothing.
On Windows: Avira Free and common sense.

Kohin.... aah.. Kaspersky or ESET both are best protections

LOL ..I also thought the same as rest digitians thought : contraceptives

coming back to topic : I only use Avast..as its very gud and it says everyday "Virus DB has been updated "

S

isnt windows firewall good.. as of antivirus i use AVAST and its the best

Linux and OpenSolaris does not require security suite yet...

For Windows I'll recommend SuRun:
*www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=196737
*kay-bruns.de/wp/software/surun/

And add a Firewall. Enough...

On Topic NAME :- even I thought it was about contraceptives

On the Topic matter :-

On VISTA : Kaspersky Internet Security 2009.
On FEDORA 10 : Nothing
On MAC OS X : Nothing

Yes, it's enabled by default. On Ubuntu I use ufw and gufw.

contraceptives is a fake cake. Abstinence is the only true contraceptive.

On topic:

On Windows7\Vista :Common sense+spyware S&D
On Linux:I knowingly click links to malwares just to have a hearty laugh.:<

I

heck.. i thot it s abt c***oms.. :mrgreen:

Jetico personal firewall and ESET32 and also AD-aware.

A boy asks his father how he was born. The father replies:
"Ah, my son, I guess one day you will need to find out anyway! Well, you see your Mom and I first got together in a chat room. Then I set up a date via e-mail with your Mom and we met at a cyber-cafe. We sneaked into a secluded room, where your mother agreed to a download from my hard drive. As soon as I was ready to upload, we discovered that neither one of us had used a firewall, and since it was too late to hit the delete button, nine months later a blessed little Popup appeared and said: You've Got Male!"

so, firewalls are importnt.

ontopic- i use kaspersky.

very old joke...

but yes firewalls r imp......!!!

IMO, all you need is some common sense when it comes to security.
I mean, dont go looking for trouble

p) and trouble will not come looking for you.

^ and i guess you do know that COMMON SENSE is NOT very COMMON !

I am still on KIS 7 with signatures updated. Is it safe enough or should I jump in for KIS 2009?

D

i use comodo firewall & avira personal..no problems at all.

MacAfee Total Security for My Xp Pro Sp3
KAV2009 and win firewall for my vista
