I don't like running real time antispyware on my machine and didn't use to like running a firewall(since I got my router.). But since I started using netveda it hasn't bothered me once since I installed it.
The sandboxie idea is neat but it annoyed me.
I guess if I knew I was going to a virus infested site I would fire it up but I couldn't run that all the time. It just got in the way.
Firefox
SpywareBlaster
eTrust Internet Security Suite
If I had to choose a security suite that would be the one I would get.
Pest Patrol has gotten a lot better then it used to be.

I'm still undecided on a firewall. I had a bad (re. costly) experience with Netveda, so I'm leaving it alone. Maybe Jetico..?

Jetico is one I haven't tried yet. If you do try it out let me know what you think.

ZA was the first one I used years ago. It had a conflict with some other program, so I replaced it with Sygate. (The program was more important than keeping ZA.)
While Sygate was fine while it lasted, I expect there are worthwhile replacements by now.
The last time I tried Jetico which was almost a year ago I wasn't too impressed, but hey they may have updated it. If you can use ZoneAlarm without any problems surfacing it's a good choice.
Same here.
Tried Jetico a while back and it was just too hard to configure (or I was too lazy) but I have read that once it is done it is one of the best.
You may want to read through the thread below which has near on 400 posts.
1: Opera
2: TeaTimer
3: AVG
4: NetVeda Safety.Net
5: Spybot - Search & Destroy
btw: i've seen a beta version of Jetico 2 flying around softpedia. someone might wanna try that one
Thanks humpty. I've been following the 'other firewalls' forum on Wilders for a few days now, trying to get a feel for what I want. I might just go for the Jetico 2.0 beta instead of the current version, but I'm still in 'research' mode right now.
