Q: What personal firewall provides excellent network protection?
A: For full feature security, again COMODO is a top contender. The firewall itself is very robust and includes an intrusion detection system. It also provides buffer overflow protection, a training mode to automatically create rules for programs you trust, and a parental control password. It's the only top, free firewall with full anti-keylogger protection. Download Comodo Internet Security for maximum protection. www.comodo.com/home/internet-security/free-internet-security.php
Q: What are some other utility programs to help keep my computer running well?
A: Hitman Pro 3 – This program is useful as a preliminary check to see if your computer is clean, especially if you're unsure as to whether your computer is infected or not. You can remove infections with this for 30 days, after that it is limited to detection. http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/
CCleaner - It's a good idea to run a disk cleaner before you scan as malware often resides in temporary folders, and junk files will be removed so the scanning will be faster. http://www.ccleaner.com/
