Windows XP SP2 - Plus Latest Patches.

Microsoft Antispyware Beta,

Symantec Corporate Antivirus 8.

Zone Alarm Pro.

Security Registry Entries applied By Autopatcher.

Other Regiestry Entries applied via Tweaks and Manual.

I also run Spybot S&D, Avert Stinger, Hijack This, and other Manual Tools to check regulary.

@ Home - Also via the protection included in my router - Nat, Firewall, etc.

May be overkill for some people. But I work in networks I know are infected regulary, and also university networks, they can be breeding grounds. - No way I am going to take chances If I can avoid it.

AND THE MOST IMPORTANT. A Password that isn't "GOD", "SEX" or "PASSWORD"

I have a real cheap adsl router with NAT but no packet filtering. So I bridge everything through a FreeBSD box and use pf as my firewall. pf is much more powerful than the firewalls that come with SOHO adsl routers anyway.

On the NAT'ed windows boxes I use an antivirus. Nothing on the linux installations. I don't bother filtering outbound from each workstation. If I really want to be anal I can always stop stuff from going out by setting rules on the FreeBSD box.

Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE

SP2 Firewall

No Anti-Virus' protection - I figure If I'm stupid enough to get a virus, then I shall live with it. Plus, I remember using norton long ago. I'd get a virus, and it wouldn't stfu, it would just keep popping up with cannot fix, blah blah. Tis' annoying...

Hardware Firewall: Linksys WRT54GS (wireless b+g with Speedbooster)

Software Firewall: WindowsXP SP2 Firewall

Anti-Virus Software: NOD32

Anti-Spyware Software: Microsoft AntiSpyware Beta (with realtime scan disabled)

I'm thinking of disabling Windows Firewall and just leave Wireless router on, but I'm not sure if it's safe to do so. :unsure:

~Windows Firewall only blocks in bound traffic unless told not to.

Seeing as your router does this already, your windows firewall hasn't actually got any traiffic to block. So it's just sitting there doing nothing.

If you do turn it off, Just remember that you have done so, incase you ever plug into the internet directly.
