On the downside when Avira Updates it pops up a window offering you to buy it ad discount prices etc..(even though the free version works great) If you use Avira and don't want the notifier popup just google " Disable Avnotify.exe " put your OS in the search too, XP, Vista Win7. Its pretty simple to disable but it might require a boot into safe mode to get administrative rights for some OS's.

Anti-Virus Software 2. Update Firewall (compatable with Anti-virus since i found some that do not work quite well together) 3. Scanning of computer for viruses and other "bad" software depending on how well ur scanner is depends on how many times u scan...( usualyl do it once every day and let it go abotu an hour before i hit the hay i would think the 3 layers of defence would be:
