Hello guys.
The last 5 years (more or less) I decided to turn into free programs to protect my computer. I searched and tried a lot and came to the conclusion that the "perfect" package was Avast Free Antivirus combined with Emsisoft's Online Armor (with some Spybot Search&Destroy searches at some times). Now that OA is kind of "dead", I am once again in the search for a good free package.
I can't say that I loved the HIPS from the OA (it was kind of borring to keep spamming "Allow" on a simple installation and sometimes I had to wait some minutes for the alert to come up) but I was useful sometimes.
So what do you guys think a good security package should contain for a windows user with more knowledge (and "hobbies") than a simple user(aka not just careless browsing)? Firewall,antivirus,sandbox or w/e else.
Thank you for your time and sorry if I posted in wrong topic.
