Win XP Home SP2. IE 6.0 I've been using that pop-stopper free edition or whateve its called, but it has a really bad tendacey to block windows that even "I" choose to have popped, and holding down control is just annoying as well. Well now I have a HOSTS file (redirect bad sites), google bar, SP2 popup blocker, Agnitum Outpost Firewall (free edition) with the plugins Ads (disable blocking by image size, its really annoying, can't figure out what the trashcan does), and plugin Blockpost (updated block list), ie-spyad installed to IE, spywareblaster updated. Thats pretty much about it when it comes to blocking popup, still i would like a feature to easily add popups that do come up to a blocked list. For protection I have Agnitum Outpost Firewall but it has to run in allow most rules since i've started to use a wireless connection. Does this firewall have the features i need to block an attack? I also run ad-aware se, Bazooka (does this ever detect something the other don't? I'm just using out of being completely paranoid), Spybot - Search and Destory, Windows Update, And Antivir as my antivirus (it does a good job of catching them too). Anything else you would suggest? I'm on a wireless network.

Hi, Short of turning your computer off all together i think youve done most that you can do, but in saying that your never guarenteed to be fully protected.No 1 rule of thumb, Back up,Back up ,Back up.If anything gets threw deal with it then.Also just be aware of your surfing habbits and E-Mails you open.

download this one. www.lavasoftusa.com > adaware free edition and the latest update file. best one i have ever used, you will not hit browser hijacking if you keep to "clean" internet sites, google bar does s--- job get rid of it. keep to real" websites and you wont hit any nasty popups, only the odd customer satisfaction one.

just read you use adaware, your pretty much sussed apart form the BIG security hole of being on a wireless network :)

ya if i use a exclusive MAC address filter (just allowing connections to MAC addresses I put in) and WEP encryption, that will pretty much all i need right?
