PC Security
Last night, I was subject to a particularly frustrating bit of Malware/Spyware

In short, it overrode my firewall and wouldn't allow net access (wanted to Google it to find out what it did and how to get rid of it)

Said my system had 29 viruses and was under attack from an IP address. Kinda difficult to do that when the Ethernet cable is not plugged in, but ok.

Anyways, ran Avast! and it came up with no results and then ran spybot and it showed 4 bits of Spyware and I have since deleted and immunized.

Having said that, what do you guys use for your web security? Any suggestions? I had a great setup on my old comp but cant remember what I had.

As of right now

Anit-Virus - Avast!
Anti-Spy/Malware - Spybot SnD

Should I get some new stuff as well?
