Re: Beginner in Security A real time AV/whatever scanner running full time in the background. Free or paid. Search for ratings here for decent ones. The full time to me is mandatory for a beginner. Not just an on demand. Then a nat router with a firewall maybe. There is a long thread here somewhere on el cheapo nat router proving nat is ok for now. Then a software firewall for outbound. Free like ZA etc. is fine. This covers the outbound that a nat router does not catch. You may grow out of this with learning and experience. Or if more advanced uses a rules based software or hardware/software firewall. Then a free on demand spy scanner like lavasoft or spybot or both. |
