Firefox
Etrust ezantivirus
netveda firewall
ewido
spyware blaster

I don't like running real time antispyware on my machine and didn't use to like running a firewall(since I got my router.). But since I started using netveda it hasn't bothered me once since I installed it.

The sandboxie idea is neat but it annoyed me.
I guess if I knew I was going to a virus infested site I would fire it up but I couldn't run that all the time. It just got in the way.

If I had to choose a security suite that would be the one I would get.
Pest Patrol has gotten a lot better then it used to be.

I'm still undecided on a firewall. I had a bad (re. costly) experience with Netveda, so I'm leaving it alone. Maybe Jetico..?

Jetico is one I haven't tried yet. If you do try it out let me know what you think.

ZA was the first one I used years ago. It had a conflict with some other program, so I replaced it with Sygate. (The program was more important than keeping ZA.)

While Sygate was fine while it lasted, I expect there are worthwhile replacements by now.

[Andavari]

The last time I tried Jetico which was almost a year ago I wasn't too impressed, but hey they may have updated it. If you can use ZoneAlarm without any problems surfacing it's a good choice.

[Humpty]

Same here.

Tried Jetico a while back and it was just too hard to configure (or I was too lazy) but I have read that once it is done it is one of the best.

You may want to read through the thread below which has near on 400 posts.

Jetico making me crazy

[JohnDemolition]

1: Opera
2: TeaTimer
3: AVG
4: NetVeda Safety.Net
5: Spybot - Search & Destroy

btw: i've seen a beta version of Jetico 2 flying around softpedia. someone might wanna try that one

[mfenech]

Thanks humpty. I've been following the 'other firewalls' forum on Wilders for a few days now, trying to get a feel for what I want. I might just go for the Jetico 2.0 beta instead of the current version, but I'm still in 'research' mode right now.
