Thanks for the poll!

Laptop: NIS has an antispyware component, but I also run SuperAntiSpyware Pro, Mamutu, Zemana Antilogger, WinPatrol Plus, Spyware Blaster resident, with Spybot, a-Squared and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware on demand.

Desktop: SuperAntiSpyware Pro, Mamutu, WinPatrol Plus, Spyware Blaster resident. Spybot, a-Squared and MBAM on demand.

Also have entries in my Hosts file on both.

On both computers: I use IE7Pro's Ad Blocker on IE in addition to higher security settings; FF is set up with Adblock and NoScript, among other things. Also use WOT and Norton Safe Web.
