hello everyone i am new to gladiator security forums.

i will be getting a new computer in couple of weeks (windows xp)and i would like to install
software to protect it from any threats online, since i am not very experianced with securing a computer, what are some free online programs like anti virus/spy software that i can use to flly protect my computer or have a decent security system set in place

on my current computer i have ewido, avast!, AVG, and zone alarm, which i think i will be installing on my new computer because i like how they have helped me out. i know i am missing some other programs to fully protect my computer, can you guys tell me a list of programs that will fully protect my computer???

Zone alarm combined with avast and avg antispyware/ewido would be plenty of protection (if its the full version of avg/ewido). If its just the free version you could try spyware terminator for real time protection.
You could also add in cyberhawk and a squared free.

The Spybot search and destroy could provide you an efficient service.
