| Thom Grayson:
i use malwarebytes and have had no problems at all. i used to use spybot search and destroy (cant beat the name!) but it had some odd stability issues. malwarebytes is nowhere near as pushy as norton with the popups and notifications, i would recommend it over just about anything else. |

I use Comodo Firewall + anti-virus. Firewall even supports mac address filtering and global rules (including svchost and Windows OS [good for stopping bluetooth and ICS]). Comodo is free and even offers free use of secure DNS servers and cloud-based scanning. Excellent defensive sandboxing and program control. good stuff. --- Code: ---http://www.comodo.com/home/internet-security/free-internet-security.php --- End code --- Achtung! be sure to uncheck the use this computer as an ICS server checkbox under alert settings and be sure to check the box for IPv6 filtering. both options can be found under firewall behaviour settings. Also set stealth ports wizard to block all incoming connections. best to add a rule to block connections from all private address ranges not in use by your router. id est, if you are using 192.168 range, then block entire 10 and 172 ranges for better WiFi security - I've been on hacking war networks and it's amazing how one cann attack from a different subnet and ip range. whirl-around. yikes! |

All I use is super anti-spyware. Haven't had a virus in years. If you're having issues stop installing shady programs :P |

by the way, I even block the Autoconfiguration ip range: 169.254.0.0-169.254.254.255 in the Network security policy tab under blocked zones. I once used this address to attack a bastard linux user who kept slamming me with packets and using deauth. I set his ip in a bittorrent program as a proxy. LOL! bet ya didn't know that would work 8) good times ... |
