Prevention is better than cure".

So better give a NO NO with capital N to IE(Internet Explorer) it has major major security issues.For that purpose Mozilla Firefox rules(The inner circle report is even Bill gates uses Firefox :wink: hush hush). Seriously after that 60% of your security probs related to internet surfing will be solved ; next depending on your habit get a free firewall by Symatec or easier still surf behind some good anony. Proxy dude(plus its gonna increase your speed too. Oh damn cant type anymore(hufff)

Wel u shud hav a good antivirus installed(but nt necessarily runnin at the time of accesin net.)Use AVAST its free as wel as good.

For firewall use Look'n'Stop (Its the best firewall yes better than Zone alarm.This shud b runnin at the time of net access)

Also i recommend Kaspersky's Anti-Hacker.(This also shud b runnin at the tym of net acces)

Also u shud hav Ad-Aware SE personal(Its anti-Spyware as wel as FREE)


With these 4 programs u r very safe!!!
