Hi All, I am a software trainer and Internet Security trainer so I always pay extra attention to discussions like this. My current recommendations: SpyBot Search and Destroy, Adaware, and ESET Smart Security. I used to use Norton, but the latest versions were really slowing down my computer and not catching some stuff that was then caught by SpyBot. Since I installed ESET Smart Security my computer runs faster and nothing gets by that program. You still have to be careful of any link or attachment in any email. My rule of thumb, if I was not expecting it then I don't click on it. Also be very careful of any email supposedly coming from your bank, or PayPal or eBay, or Amazon. All of these are frequent targets of Spoof emails, that look pretty much like the real thing. I never click on any link that says it comes from my bank, etc. I always go to my bank's web site directly, log in and check the messages section. If it is legit you will find it in the messages section, you don't need to click on that link. I frequently post news stories and my own articles on security on my Facebook page, easy to find, just look at my username. Same thing for my web site, again, just look at my username. Hope this info helps.
