OK, Does anyone have any idease on all the different security features that
would make the ideal "Security Suite" for Windows XP Pro SP2?

I have Spybot S&D installed, Norton Internet Security Suite 2005
(nightmare), AVM, Adaware. I ended up turing off the Norton firewall as it
was just too confusing and continue to use thier anit-virus and spam
protection on Outlook 2002 (that works good). I then went back to the XP
built-in firewall and turned it on. There are just too many choics and
options to try and stay secure and they come up with windows too often to
allow-this / deny-this, etc....

I do not think I am alone out there and any great ideas would be so
appreciated!

Thanks much!
Duane
