I use AVG internet security already which is quite comprehensive, has anti virus, firewall,, anti spyware etc etc. but are they any other programs you would recommend?
Ie a registry cleaner, a trojan remove etc etc?

This is not a flippant remark but the way I manage to keep ebvery bit of crap of my windows system.
I don’t have any Anti virus software or zonealarm. What I use is somesting call VMPlayer and a Linux OS that sits in windows as an application. I surf the net check emails etc.
It takes a small amount of self control howver once site’s have been checked out by me I can then go to it when needed on either windows or my Virtual machine.
I have been using this method for a while and touchwood it has help my windows machine keep free of the usual virus’s.
And the good point is if that Virtual machine goes belly up I just delete it and re-install it (about 2 mins work).
AVG IS BAD! use either Avast, or Kaspersky, with ZoneAlarm as your firewall. and then use FireFox as your browser and you should be safe.
AVG is good
I think avg is as good as you are going to get on a freebie
Didn’t like AVG now i use Comodo and Avira as firwall and Antivirus…it has been good so far……
I just search on google for "review free firewall" and did the same with anti virus…
Good luck
