I have Avast Home as my antivirus.

For antispywares, i have MalwareBytes Antimalware, SuperAntiSpyware, and Spyware Doctor Starter Edition... all for on-demand scanning.

Nowadays i am experimenting with firewalls. So presently am checking out PC Tools Firewall, and i like it.

I earlier checked out Comodo Firewall. I find out to be quite good... with firewall and HIPS. Though as far as i am concerned, i dont want the HIPS. It makes the program bulky too.

I also checked out Jetico Firewall, and i feel it gives a lot of popups... in fact too much, and also its not being developed further, so i removed it from my PC.

I tried NetVeda too, and i liked it. I didnt use it for much time though, as i use orbit downloader, and when i installed NetVeda, orbit couldnt resume downloads... happened with any file i tried to download. So I uninstalled NetVeda for time being. I will check it out later.

Will check out Online Armor, or maybe Sunbelt-Kerio later.
