What's the top firewall program?

Also what's the top anti-virus program?

Lastly the top spyware program?


Also, does atf cleaner actually work? Does it really do anything?


P.S for the firewall/anti virus/ spyware removal, I want something I can buy that exceeds way past the free programs.
 
With Vista os mine are:

Firewall: Zonealarm

Antivirus: Avast

Spyware: 1) SUPERAntispyware
2) Spybot Search & Destroy
3) Adaware
4) SpywareBlaster

All Freeware.

sorry nobbly, but spywareblaster doesn't really provide proper realtime protection. It simply blocks certain active-x apps from running. It's still a great program and I use it myself, but it's not realtime protection - it doesn't need to constantly run in the background.

Wikipedia entry:
SpywareBlaster blocks the installation of most ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers and other unwanted programs from the user's computer. SpywareBlaster works by blacklisting the CLSID of known malware programs, effectively preventing them from infecting a protected computer.

For realtime protection, I suggest tenebril's spycatcher express or javacool's spywareguard.
 
That's cool Pietzki,

I just researched swb and it seems I was under the wrong impression for quite sometime.

It is a blocker as opposed to rewriting malicious script which I believed it done.

Thanks for the heads up! :)

Scratch swb for realtime protection.
 
I'm on Windows Vista

I'm currently using,

Anti-virus - Avira(AntiVir) Personal Edition

Antispyware - Spybot Search and Destroy, SUPERAntispyware, Spyware Terminator and SpywareBlaster.

Firewall - COMODO Personal Firewall.
