Answer 3

Kaspersky really is the best Internet security software you can have. Please dont listen to people who are telling you that you should have free ones. There is nothing you need to change in your security. Firefox is also the safest browser to use. If you wanted you could get a antispyware like spybot S&D

Or adaware 2008

But you security alrreday seems fine and tehre is no point in bogging down your PC.

Answer 4

Keep your firewall on.

in internet options (control panel)

under head security

set all values to default( for internet, local intranet, secured sites, restricted sites)

make it a routine to remove contents of temporary internet flies folder.

Try to avoid un-known, un-secured sites.

Answer 5

Sometimes those who are security conscious go the wrong track.

Far too much FREE stuff.

All that is needed is a good Internet Security Suite.

I use Norton Internet Security 2008 and no problems, costs $45
