Going to reformat my HD...

[Azndude2190]

So far here is a list of what I'm going to install(this is only concerning my computer security):

Anti-virus Program:NOD32(There's a free version right?...either that or i'm going back to using Kaspersky)
Firewall:Agnitum Outpost Firwall 1.0
Anti-Spyware/Ad-ware Program:MS Anti-Spyware/Ad-Aware SE Personal/Spybot
Registry Cleaner:CCLeaner(This is good but I'm wondering if there are better ones out there)

Is this a good combination?Advice?Reccomendations?

Anyone?

That's plenty fine. I never heard of the Firewall but if you checked out reviews or threads then ok. I don't have anything, well I have Ad-aware still but haven't needed to use it in many months.

take kaspersky over NOD32. nod32 is really good, but kaspersky is better. you could use both though. if you want a free firewall, get kerio personal firewall. i dont know anything about outpost. also, if you are willing to spend the money, get spysweeper. it has better detection than those 3 combined. its only like $15. but, those are just fine.

Outpost is free...i've used all the other firewalls and my computer always has internet problems with them...

Man u don't need Firewall, speaking cuz u mostlikely using a router. and just dl some warez. Norton, although it does slow down ur bootup

where's that google download pack? it had alot of good stuff on it.

Probably a no-brainer, but I hope your WinXP (your OS presumably) is updated with Service Pack 2.

And for the love of god, make sure you use a software firewall regardless of whether you have a router or not.
