   There are excellent free programs that can do all the above. And it’s better not to put all your eggs in one basket by relying on any one program to protect you completely. The same recommendations for programs are repeated over and over; you will find them easily.

   If you used Linux instead of Windows you wouldn’t need any of those.

   Rather than paying for most of the programs that you listed above, perhaps you should try using free alternatives to paid versions of the programs.

   Also, in order to prevent your computer from becoming infected with a computer virus or other malicious files or programs, I would suggest that you run frequent antivirus scans, as well as frequent antispyware or antimalware scans.

   If you need a free antivirus program, I would recommend that you try using Microsoft Security Essentials, which can be be downloaded from the link below.

   If you need a free antimalware program, perhaps you should try using MalwareBytes, which can be downloaded from the link below.

   Just so you know, I wouldn’t suggest that you have more than one antivirus program installed on your computer at the same time, as they may end up conflicting with each other. However, it is alright to have both an antivirus program, as well as an antispyware or antimalware program installed on your computer at the same time.

   Also, perhaps you should try using Mozilla FireFox, which is a free browser that is safer than Internet Explorer and can also be customized with a variety of free add-ons and themes. If you’d like to try using Mozilla FireFox, you can download it from the link below.

   A free registry cleaner that you may want to try using would be CCleaner, by Piriform, which can be downloaded from the link below.

   As for a free firewall, Windows comes with Windows Firewall, which you can enable and configure by going to the Control Panel and then clicking on the "Security" section, where there should be links to sections regarding the Windows Firewall.

   Alternatively, you could try using Comodo Firewall, which is free and can be downloaded from the link below.

   For the automatic updates, Windows comes out with new updates, including those for security, every second Tuesday of the month, which you should install when you notice the Automatic Updates icon in the System Tray.

   Some of the types programs that you listed, however, may be redundant, as other programs may perform more than one function. For example, rather than having both an antispyware program and and antimalware program, simply having one of them should be sufficient. It is possible to have both, but the more programs that you have running on your system, the slower it could potentially run.

   As for anti-rootkit, e-mail, and link scanners, some antivirus and antispyware or antimalware programs also scan for these things, so you don’t necessarily need to have one of each. I’d suggest that you check your antivirus and other programs’ settings to see if they perform these functions, though.

   Good luck and I hope I helped you!
