I just did format to my pc and I don't know what type of security programs I need. I mean, do i need antivirus, firewall , anti-malware, anti spyware? All of them? some of them? Which of them?? Plz help!
 
Solution
If your using windows, then windows already has a built in firewall so that is covered, for antiviruses I recommend panda cloud's free antivirus or AVG free edition 2014.

Hi,

What windows version are you using.

Depends on what you do with your computer.

For gaming an antivirus is all you need since you are the best antivirus around.
If you go on obscure website, download obscure programs then I would install a nice antivirus and comodo/zone alarm firewall

You might find Microsoft Security Essentials sufficient, and, ...it is free! :)
