The best security for me is a router (closes/stealths all ports).
I also just let the Windows Firewall chill - could stop a rogue program from doing something. This is not dire security as much as it is diagnosis. I might not have caught the bugger.
I've got AVG around to scan lightly and pick up stuff. I've also got Ad-Aware to check around for malware and stinky cookies (not like that does much good), but I keep it updated every now and then but I rarely run a scan.
Finally, there's the number one defense - MikeSty. I'm the operator of this machine as well as the owner, therefore I am the caretaker.
