What type of software

Firewall?
Spyware removal?
Anti Virus?
Encryption?
(the standard catagories ... there are more)

All the above?

I've got several anti-spyware programs, so I'm fine there. I need some firewall and antivirus software. I just uninstalled Norton from my computer, as it messed up my internet access somehow.

For spyware, I recommend Spyware Doctor. I've also got Ad-Aware and Spybot S&D, but I suspect that they all find the same stuff anyway. Spyware Doctor scans very quickly, which is a bonus.

As for encryption, I don't know. I haven't even got any idea what you're talking about. :)

My friend told me the best is AD-AWARE...problem is the shareware version does not come with a scanner...

(the other 2) do they come with a scanner?
