About this trail:
This trail was created in order to help you with your internet virus and security problems. I've personally used all of these products at one time or another over the last 6 years, as have hundreds of my clients. I've not been infected with any kind of virus, spyware or malware since 1996. You obviously don't need all of these products, but by all means install the Comodo Firewall.
Since all of these products are small footprint products they will not slow your system down like most integrated commercial packages do, but are every bit as effective and will save you lots of money and aggravation.

The Ultimate in Anti Virus / Anti Spyware / Malware.
Install this Linux to your MS Windows Hard Drive. It will easily install itself as a dual boot system. If you do nothing else but use the internet with it, you've just decreased your crash and burn risk by 90%. I believe however you will use it for far more once you see how easy it actually is......Good Bye Windows....... I use this flavor of Linux exclusively on my laptop with a wireless Internet connection and as a Server to my internal Windows Network.

Excellent Anti Spam Software, easy to use and works with most E-mail clients.

This Web based utility is excellent, and has fixed many a nasty entry made into the windows registry effortlessly. Just download the Zip file using the Direct Download Link in the upper right hand corner, and do your stuff. Everyone should have this little utility to check their registry entries at least once, wether you think you have a problem or not. You will be amazed what you will discover. I use this tool before I use anything else. Many a time things have been set right by using this tool only.

This is a little gem and worthwhile having on your system if your ISP doesn't check for Spam, or charges for Spam Removal. It will remove all items you consider to be spam from the mail server before it is downloaded to your mail client.

This is a excellent family oriented web filter. Read what it says on this page, then decide if you want to use it. Usage is simple, with a tiny almost unoticeable footprint. Filter is easy to turn off and on, making it a breeze to control content for kids.

Read the review and decide for yourself. I prefer Naomi, but that's for the individual to decide. Since Naomi needs no fiddling with, I would think it is the easier option to use.
