I've been using Windows Live Care and everything is going fine (does cost money though). After thinking about it, I've never paid for security before - not sure why I did this time. Thanks for the list and if you ever do want to buy Microsoft software, wait until the subscription expires and they'll give you a 40-50% discount (3 computers for $29). Thanks for the list.

As for email, I'm currently using Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo but I'm not very fond of any of them (though Yahoo has gotten MUCH better at blocking spam lately; this time last year I was getting upwards of 300 spam emails a day in my bulk folder - now I'm lucky to get ten per day). Whatever you do though, DO NOT USE OUTLOOK OR OUTLOOK EXPRESS for your email. End of story.

Zone Alarm and Ad-Aware are great products. I used both for years with great results. Im trying BitDefender on my new lappie with Vista right now to see how good it is. My wife switched from AVG to Avast last year. I dont remember why. Wouldnt it be great if more users were as educated about online safety. Sigh.... Great article.
