Firewall

NEVER RUN MORE THAN ONE OF EACH KIND OF SECURITY SOFTWARE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONFLICT WITH EACH OTHER

Very good list, probably one of the best lists out there. However, as spyware and adware changes and progesses it makes many of these good programs obsolete and pointless. So stay tuned in about 2-3 months for a new update list. The av programs have been good for quite some time now so there is no reason why they cant continue.

For example, Ad-Ware 2007 used to be good in 2007 now its mediocre, while Windows Defender was decent during the first month of its release and like every other windows program it has more holes than swiss cheese after the second month.

Many companies believe they create an invicible program after it works very well for quite some time, but all the glamour gets to them and they hardly update and support the program which makes it fall behind as spyware and adware keeps advancing.
