What Security Applications Do You Use On Your PC?
February 5th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under
Most of my regular readers know that my ‘day job’ is working for an ISP in the UK. One of the projects I’m working on is looking at PC-based security applications. I realised today that I’m a bit out of touch as to what applications people are running on their machines.
So, I thought rather than spending thousands of pounds on focus groups I thought I’d just ask my readers. What security do you have on your machine? Do you use an all in one package like Norton 2008, or a mixture of programs? What made you choose your current suite of programs? What programs have you used in the past?
Thanks in advance for all replies.

Primary OS Linux (some flavour of, either Gentoo, Ubuntu or Fedora)
Browser - Firefox + Adblock
No virus / spam filtering - not really needed on Linux
IPTables firewall to stop inbound rubbish
Windows for gaming, doesn’t go near the internet - I find most security packages for windows far too bloated and slow (the bigger the name, the worse they are)
