    Question Internet Security Question

    Hi,

    Just reinstalled my pc due to a drive failure and starting to update all my security software.
    Here is where I am so far

    Hardware
    Hardware firewall on my Netgear Router

    Software
    Comodo Firewall 3.0.15.277
    Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0
    Prevx 2.0
    Mcafee Siteadvisor
    run ccleaner as and when needed.

    For internet browsing I use Firefox and have disabled cookies as standard and add them as an exception for the sites I trust. I also have the noscripts extension installed for firefox.
    Is there anything I have missed out or should add to the list??

    I use Zone Alarm and AVG antivirus with Firefox on my XP install. Never had any problems.

    I use nothing in Vista apart from Firefox, and again now problems.

    *touch wood, touch black*

    ps. yeah and crapcleaner once in a while to remove all the rubbish.
