StarsPath Computer Security Guide

Fast Tips:
Note, if you want you can run several ad cleaners, anti spyware programs, as long as they are not all running an active monitor at the same time to avoid conflicts.
Firewalls, you should only have one. If nothing else use Windows XP or later built in firewall for some protection. Suggest To install another one this way: Disconnect from the internet(unplug internet connection cable), Disable Windows Firewall(if enabled). Install another one, reconnect cable to internet. If a restart is required, then,do that first(before reconnecting cable).
You also really only need one antivirus running. Two, will conflict each other.

Computer internet surfing sluggish? Ad Popups?
Try AdAware Remove spyware, ad programs.

ZoneAlarm
Free Personal Internet Firewall!!(charge for business use) Help Prevent possible unknown access, theft or spying etc of information from your computer while connected to the internet. Easy to configure. Great for all personal internet users and a must have for Cable Modem, DSL users. As with many firewalls/antivirus today, they offer complete security package suites(All in One for a fee), as well as stand alone versions(without antivirus & anti spyware).
If you decide to use it, read the tutorial after Zone Alarm install to understand how to set it. It's not just set and forget, but is pretty easy to understand. Suggest you install the trial version, it's a cleaner install. It becomes free when expires.
See ZdNets Zone Alarm Review
To uninstall Zone Alarm, you may have to first right click Z icon on right taskbar, click Shut down ZoneAlarm on popup menu. Another option is to Boot to windows safemode, then uninstall it, if you should encounter uninstall problems.
To get Windows XP, Vista SafeMode: Press and hold F8 or tap key on windows restart. use arrow keys to select it, press enter.

Overall, a great product, but as of late there have been some uninstall issues and conflicts with CA Antivirus.
