PC protection? Why do I care if people see what I have?

*shrugs*

I used to care... went through the whole bit of numerous packages for "safety".... then... suddenly ---- i realized I don't have any kiddie porn or top secret government docs.... so whats the point. Been running a couple of servers for a few years now.... once again... who cares?! Never had a problem with anything other than bots... and if something happens... the partition with my OS just gets restored via the image.... presto... no worries. Call.... reset the IP....

Just buy a router and relax. Enjoy your real life for a moment..

OK.
Firewall
Webroot Spysweeper with Sophos antivirus
Windows Defender (helped me get rid of a hijacker)
Spyware Begone
SBC Yahoo online protection(spyware only)
Webroot Windows Washer
Used to use Norton but decided just to go with Webroot.

I think I can safely say I repesent the non-computer savvy type person that needs this stuff.

Let's See

Kerio 2.15 Firewall (Older program but used with updated rulesets, haven't had a problem with it since I started using it 3 years ago)
Spybot Search and Destroy 1.5
Ad-Aware 2007
Spywareblaster
HijackThis
Process Explorer
CCleaner
Regseeker 1.45

I'd say I'm pretty well protected against most threats.

You don't seem to have any antivirus, not even on-demand. Do you consider them unnecessary for you?

[DeathDude]

Oops that would be my bad, I do actually have an Anti Virus program, a lot of the time I forget about it mainly since do keep an eye on my processes from time to time and the firewall does handle of lot of the incoming and outgoing traffic, I use AVG Anti Virus, been using it since 2001 and has not let me down since.

Since it's now necessary for my Desktop to be protected from to Big Bad Internet.

Don't allow yourself on your keyboard.
You are the greatest risk for your PC around.

Spybot Search and Destroy 1.5, free of charge of course, its always good to have at least a minimum of two different spyware searching programs on your system because Ad-Aware does not always catch every varient of spyware out there, and vice versa with spybot.
