Please!have i got my security correct

Hi guy's would love some expert advice regarding my security setup as i'm not too sure iv'e got it quite right. I just got my first pc Feb, so i,m still finding my feet but would appreciate some guidance. I assume layered protection is advisable(although iv'e been informed by friends i may have too much)! At the present i have Norton Internet Security 2005(licensed until May2007),Spybot(teatimer disabled),Adaware,SpywareBlaster,SpywareDoctor,RegistryMechanic,A-squared(free),i have also disabled my windows firewall for conflicts with Norton. I did enable the Onguard setting on my RegMechanic and am having no probs. My scans are always clean(apart from a little hiccup,when i downloaded without reading the EULA, but all is well again). If you feel i could indeed improve or make changes with my pc security setup i would be very grateful for some expert advice . as an added bonus i always use regularly Trendmicro,Bitdefender,McAfee and PandaActive online scans (all clean also). Please be gentle i'm only little!

PS i'm using Windows XP(home), IE7 which iv'e tightened up also

 

Would like to correct( set Ongaurd on my Spywaredoctor

 

Hello Halo

Millymolly sends a huge hug for your sound advice. I was pleased to hear you say that you think i am doing fine at present, since Feb, i can honestly say that iv'e only had the one little glitch but i do know that it's early days and that i'll not always be so lucky. I suppose when your new to the world of cyberspace friends all have their own take on what's best for you, although i do have a friend who states that in the 6 years he has been using his pc that he has never, ever, been infected with spyware etc, but between you and me (i think he.s telling porky pies!!! ) I was indeed considering changing my Norton after the license runs out ,as being a true Scot i feel i ought to hang on to my coppers and i will give lots of consideration to your list of installations,it does seem to work well for you. I also installed Eulalyser(as this is were i got caught out!! not checking the EULA before i downloaded) and i have McAfee SiteAdvisor(although i did check on this before i downloaded the little intruder, but the site was given the ok!) however i do appreciate that these things are only to assist and that at the end of the day it basically comes down to us if we trust to download. MillyM. is very grateful for your help and being relatively new to this game i can assure you i need all the help i can get

Have a Dram on me
