I have downloaded various free anti virus software as follows:

Adaware
Spybot
AVG 6.0
Spywareblaster
CWShredder
Hijack this
Zone Alarm

Just wondering do I need all of these software as it is quite time consuming as I check for updates and download them to keep these uptodate.

I would love a package which covers everything, what do you think?
 
if it was me i just keep spybot and have an antivirus like norton
btw .... i have norton utilities to clean all the crap stays in my computer
 
Adaware and Spybot do the same thing but often one will catch something the other didn't so I use both.

AVG is the only actual antivirus you have.

Spyware blaster protects against hijacking, I prefer spyware guard (from the same group).

Hijack this is only used as a diagnostic and cleaner for hijacks, keep it.

Zone Alarm is your firewall.

I'm not familiar with CWShredder.
 
Thanks for your replies.

I was just told about CWShredder a few days ago, apparently its a trojan remover.

you was wondering about a software package that includes everything that you mention above.
well there is a software "system mechanic" which have a firewall, spyware removel, pop up filter and some other tools that help you keep your system clean. here is the site

Thanks XRAYZ. It seems really good, thinking about trying the free trial for 30 days.

Would I still keep my antivirus and firewall packages as well?

Sorry, aint a whizzkid!! lol
 
I use:
Sygate - firewall (version 6 is free)
Look 'n' stop lite - firewall (freeware)
Antivir Personal Edition - antivirus (freeware)
EMS Free Surfer MK II - popup killer (freeware)
sometimes AVG 6.0 - antivirus (freeware)
