I use McAfee's SecurityCenter (I got a 3 year subscription free with my Laptop).
I also use "Advanced Windows Care Personal" and "CCleaner" (Links can be found in my "Free Software List" thread)

Re: What software do you use to keep your pc run smoothly?
i use nothing...:|. I don't even like having all these software installed to slow down my computer. I just use my common sense when it comes to going into websites and attacks.
The only thing I guess that counts is Microsoft Vista Ultimate Firewall, but besides that, I don't use anything. Haven't had any spyware or virus in about two years now.

Re: What software do you use to keep your pc run smoothly?
I use Avast, Windows Defender/Firewall, CCleaner and the Windows Defragmenter. In other words, basically whatever the OS gives me.

How exactly do you know you haven't had anything in two years, if you don't use anything that will tell you if you have a virus?
