Those are good, but you should also have a software firewall on your computer. You can download HJT here.

Hi,
After reading the links below I settled for Comodo, Avast and Sandboxie for my Vista. All are freeware. Sandboxie provides an extra layer of security for my browsing.

Hope this is of interest?
Richard.
