Need some good virus scanners, encryption, etc.

You best be joking, son.

why do you need encryption software, you ezpexting someone to look though your stuff

I also use a firewall, and a proxxy when browsing certain forums.

Is it because I expect someone to launch an attack against me or track my IP? No, no it is not.

Preparedness.

I use:
Avira Antivirus,
Zonealarm firewall
and Tune up for cleaning...

USE TUNE UP!
It's worth the money!

I'm not big on stuff you need to pay for.

This is the kind of thing that free stuff is equal or better. :3

well i got attacked today by drones clan website but it was only a vb script

For encryption I like to use Toucan you can choose between using Rijndeal or Blowfish encryption. Though I haven't tried Truecrypt, is it any good?
