I have alot of security on my machine...trying to go the free route instead of buying something. Let me tell you what I have, then you tell me if one or more cancel each other out in productivity, resulting in loss of perfomance from my PC.
Zone Alarm (Firewall)
Spybot (Cleans and also has a BHO detection, which stops unwanted downloads or changes)
Ad-aware (Cleans)
Hijack This (deletes unwanted crap that tries to own your PC)
Spyware Guard (BHO detection, stopping unwanted downloads or changes)
Spyware Blaster (Stops download of most Spyware to prevent ever needing to be cleaned out).
MRU Blaster (Deletes all files that contain info on surfing activity)
To the best of my knowledge, I believe I have accurately described all functions factually.
Do any of these take away from the productivity of another, for example, do I want The Spyware Guard if Spybot also has a feature that protects BHO stuff? (From what I understand, BHO stuff refers to browser hijacking.)
