Malware can be scary, but using a gazillion software apps to try and capture the
stuff before it insinuates itself on your machine seems to me to be almost as scary
(not to mention confusing and sometimes conflicting). Almost like "malware hypochondria".
Merely for whatever it may be worth, I have found that the combination of Norton
Internet Security with its FW and AV components, when coupled with Webroot's Spy
Sweeper, seems to handle things just fine.
BTW, I always check out a protection scheme by matching it against the best that
warez, appz, serialz, etc. have to offer. The combination I am now using has met
the challenge quite well.
Lastly, two of the most effective apps for peace of mind are apps for backing up
critical data on a real time basis, as well as a good app for backing up your drives.
All I can say is that this works for me and has given me a large measure of peace
of mind.
