Curious as to what programs y'all use to safeguard your computer from all the scum out there that want to do nasty things with it. I'm running:

Avast Home Edition 4.5
Sygate Personal Firewall
Adaware SE 1.05
Spybot Search and Destroy 1.3
a-squared 1.5.2
The off switch on my power strip

All of the above are free versions. I forget how much my power strip cost.

Zone Alarm Pro
WinPatrol
Startup Monitor
AdAware
Spybot
and dial-up that I disconnect when not in use.

AdAware
Spybot S&D
AVG
MS AntiSpyware
Spyware Guard - if the MS thing works well I will probably ditch this
Zone Alarm free (gah, thinking of switching to Sygate)
Hosts File (I use this one targeted at blocking ads too)

Occasional use:

Hijack This
Bazooka Spyware scanner
Proximitron
