What computer security do YOU use at home?

[Mavrick]

With the spread of the worm this week and all that, I wonder if most people use some sort of computer security, and if you do, what do you use?

(Antivirus, firewall, full internet security suite? And which one do you use?)

I personnally use an old version of McAfee Antivirus with ZoneAlarm firewall, but I was thinking of maybe going to get a full, up to date suite (McAfee or Norton's)

Linux-based firewall
Antivirus software
Other OS's besides Windows

 

[Ameesh]

i use a NAT

I don't have a firewall, and I don't have a virus scanner on this system (which is networked through our HPNA line to my parents system). They have a free virus scanner - that's it. AFAIK, I haven't gotten any viruses 😉

All my desktops are own my home network which is supplied by a hardware router/firewall. Then on my windows systems I have Zone Alarm Pro as well. This system I just run Linux and don't have anything else.

Hardware firewall on my router, AVG 6.0 on each system. Going with Norton though, next time there's a good deal on it.

Nothing. Never had a problem.

 

[wyvrn]

hardware router with firewall features and AVG installed on all computers. Used to use zone alarm but since we haven't had any problems, it's currently disabled. And I keep the computers patched regularly.

 

[ethebubbeth]

the NAT in my router is good enough for me

 

[hdeck]

software firewall + virus scan stuff

 

[nsafreak]

Zone Alarm & AVG Anti Virus for a few PCs. The others are behind a NAT with a linux firewall and AVG loaded up on them as well.

It's all a conspiracy! How do you think Norton stays in business? He has a separate group within the company that releases all these viruses! Then he releases the program or updates to it to counter it! Very smart indeed.
