I have a new copy of windows w/spybot, free zonealarm and avast anti-virus. do i need anything else?

Question

?

Answer 1

Firefox browser, also add-on noScript to it..

Update the essential pack (AV, Antispyware & Windows) atleast once a week.  Run scans once a week., Also having Windows Defender doesn't harm..

Answer 2

Yeah, Linux.

Answer 3

You certainly have all the bases covered; you don't really need anything more as long as your online habits are not crazy like downloading loads of torrent files and visiting dodgy sites! I run most of my pcs with similar minimal security software and only resort to other security software when needed. I like to add Spywareblaster because it works well with Spybot - not a scanner more of a preventative tool which protects you online - just update it and enable protection and it will work quietly in the background.

Use CCleaner too - a free tool that scans and cleans up junk files on your pc

(tip: download the "slim" build)

All the updates from microsoft would help. Also your best protection from viruses and other malware is to know what you are doing.
