About Doug’s last paragraph.

How do you “constantly change your IP” (I assume IP Address?” By changing from a Static to a Dynamic Account? Or something more complicated?

These security suggestions were written by “developers” and I don’t think will help for protecting children, for example. A more comprehensive review is needed.

What about K7 antivirus? It’s the best I’ve ever used. Give it a try!

I would have picked Avira over AVG or Avast. It’s detection rate is better than those two.
But, Comodo is really good.

Good article. Comodo is definitely the best firewall.

I definitely think Avira should be on this list instead of Avast. If you have a look at http://www.av-comparatives.org/ you’ll see how Avast fares against Avira and how Avira fares against all other antivirus programs.

Might I suggest adding Spybot Search and Destroy and Spyware Blaster because they both have Immunisation and Protection features available. These 2 I don’t recommend that they run in the background, but from time to time, just keep the lists updated and they provide protection by immunising your system.
