For about a year I've been using a few different tools to secure my PC. First of all, I'm on a wired network, not a wireless network. While not 100% secure, it is better than wireless if your interested in keeping your data secure.
Secondly, I tossed out Norton and MacAfee because they became more of a nuisance than a help. Constant pop ups and machine slow downs finally got to me.
Here are some excellent options:
AVG Antivirus software, which works great is not intrusive and does not irritate you to buy more software or renew subscriptions:
The only drawback is that it downloads its definition files upon start up. I really don't even notice it much anymore.
WinPatrol software, which helps to monitor start up items and items that try to connect from your PC to the internet. The free version I have works fantastic and has saved me more than once.
Windows Defender Software, a FREE spyware protection app which has a small footprint and does a nice job of keeping spyware off my PC.
