simple security: Essential things to have on every machine

Essential things to have on every machine

Firefox.
A good antivirus. You could go with either of the market leaders, McAfee or Norton. If you are working with a linux machine or dont want to go the open source way, then consider ClamAV .
Latest updates of the operating system. For windows, it is Windows service pack 2 with a built-in firewall. Be sure to enable the auto-updates for the OS you are working with.
Spybot - Search & Destroy - it detects and cleans spyware.
Ad-Aware Personal edition - another good spyware buster.
A good personal firewall. (I dont insist too much on this, but it is nice to have).
