I need security...?computer

You are correct. Your current security is not optimal.

These days you need a whole lot more than just a virus protection. Only about 15% of all malware is viruses. The rest is worms, trojans, phishing schemes, spyware, etc.

Here's some ideas to ''roll ya own'' Internet Security Suite for free. Free is always the best.

--------------------------------------...

1. For your Anti-Virus...You already have a pretty decent one in Avast, so you are good to go here.

--------------------------------

2. For your Firewall..........(Always use only 1 software firewall)

A decent free firewall that is PC Tools Firewall Plus. One can either choose ''Normal User Mode'' Or ''Expert User Mode'''depending on the desired detail of alerts and application custom rules.

It is one of the few free firewalls that will work (and work well) on Vista as well as XP and 2000.

3. For your Anti-Adware and Anti-Spyware needs...............(use at least 1 anti-spyware, but 2 is OK):
