Hi guys. I describe myself as a meticulous person When it comes to PC protection. I am really curious as to what software could provide me with the most amount of protection possible. So guys, may I ask: "What is the best and latest (a) ANTIVIRUS (b) FIREWALL (c) SPYWARE programs that can do all that?" Freeware... shareware... I don't care. As long as they provide the best security for my PC. Any recommendations? Your top 5 perhaps? And if it's possible, kindly provide some reasons why you think that particular ANTIVIRUS/FIREWALL/SPYWARE is the best. So that we could have an idea what to download or buy. Thanks...
