  I have a solution:

  Kick the PC physically till the sides are dent. Then say that the PC dropped and beg your mom to buy you a Vista.

  It works.

  According to most firewall group tests by experts that I’ve seen, Kaspersky Internet Security is the best by far. It always comes out on top. It’s a very concise and rock solid solution with an exceptional firewall. Aparently once a hacker tries to connect to Kaspersky, they simply can’t maintain a connection for more than a second. It costs around £30 a year ($55 approx).

  For free solutions I recommand Avast Antivirus and Zone Alarm free. I’ve tried AVG Antivirus and Comodo but I fell out with both of them.

  I've used several different anti-XXXX suites (Norton, MacAfee, Avast!, etc). The one I like best for Windows is Avast! It runs on all versions of Windows, including the 32 and 64 bit

  Avast! is at: http://www.avast.com/ and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avast!

  It updates automatically and actually can tell you with a voice when updates occur. It is like "You've got mail" on AOL, with Avast! it says "Virus database updated." It seems to occur several times a week, even a couple of times a day. They really are actively supporting the product from both a virus database and programming perspective.

  As for Norton and MacAfee, their suites are OK but they seem to take over the CPU and RAM. Honestly, I bought my computers to do the work I need done and yes, I want to be secure. Yet, both MacAfee and Norton will start up tasks that cause the machine to grind to a halt.

  Avast!, on the other hand, plays nicely with my work load. Plainly put isn't a hog and remembers why bought the computer (e.g. writing, accounting, programming, E-Mailing, gaming, surfing, etc).

  As for Spy-ware, I use Microsoft Defender, which again works with all versions of Windows. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Defender

  As for the firewall, I use the firewall in my router.

  Good luck and I'm glad you're looking at computing / surfing safely!

  NOTE: You can fully trust Avast! It is by a corporation that sells this version to other corporations. They are providing it, though, for free to home users.

  Note Stay away from Norton’s because along with low detection rates it will slow your system to a crawl.
  Stay away from AVG as it also has low detection rates.

  To put it simply, yes. Every time you go online unprotected cookies and tracking devices are installed on your computer. Spyware devices can be used to track your Internet behavior or can be employed for more threatening activities like recording your keystrokes to obtain passwords or pulling information from your personal files.So what can you do to avoid spyware?

  Install a powerful anti-spyware program that works well with your XP or Vista security.
  Avoid downloading free software without investigating the site’s privacy policy first.
