Not using a firewall on your PC is akin to a girl asking to be gang-raped.
My line of defense: KIS 2009 + MalwareBytes Anti-Malware 1.31

I thought the same. Anyway, coming back to the topic, I use Linux that doesn't require all these anti-whatnots.

Even me. Anti-virus in not the first thing that comes to your mind when you have such a (thread) subject.
I use Ubuntu, anti-virus(es) are such bloatwares!!!

Re: what protection r u using........??
ok ok........i accept .....
its marketing strategy...... "cover pe kuchh aur and andar kuchh aur"
but i tell u, this was not intentional, i didnt thik that way.... 
but ur responses make me laugh........ a lots r here interested in conraceptives hmmmm...............!!!
now.......come to the originally meant purpose.....computer protection haha
Guys tell me one thing,,, now i am thinking to install a firewall....
suggest me some good ones........ gr8 if the firewall gives the combination of proxy firewall and packet-filter firewall.

Re: what protection r u using........??
contraceptives is a fake cake. Abstinence is the only true contraceptive.
On topic:
On Windows7\Vista :Common sense+spyware S&D
On Linux:I knowingly click links to malwares just to have a hearty laugh.:<
