Hi: I did a considerable amount of research before coming across Vipre, which is relatively new in the market. http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/
Vipre includes anti-malware/spyware (email protection, file protection) and a firewall, as well as some other tools. A review: http://www.pcantivirusreviews.com/reviews/vipre_antivirus_software.html . That site is a fairly good review site. I've been quite pleased with Vipre, having tried various programs through the years, including Comodo, Webroot, and Fix-it/System Suite (Avanquest). Another, related topic, is getting rid of cookies tracking you web activities. The best program I've found is MAXA cookie manager. http://www.maxa-tools.com/ The interface is gaudy, but the program does the job, and the interface is easy to work with. Another obscure find.
