Make sure you're using IE8 also. It has extra security features that help a
lot. If not, make sure whichever browser you use is updated. And just
practice common sense such as not opening suspicions attachments that you
didn't expect, not going to shady Web sites, using a non-admin account, etc.
I only use the free edition of Avira AntiVir on all my computers. I don't
get carried away with all these anti-malware products.

Hi,

I have just installed NIS 2010 on my XP box. I also have Spybot Search and
Destroy/Adaware/Malwarebytes installed as well. Is this overkill or is NIS
2010 enough to do the job of protecting my pc from
spyware/adware/malware?
