I was giving a general install of what works..Hijack This is nice but it is more for experienced users...so I generally would not suggest it unless I'm willing to be the one going through their logs lol

Spybot and Adaware are a bit outdated yes..but Spybot is still useful for its Immunization option and Hosts file...its actually a great product but doesn't update often :/..as for Adaware..I had a few instances where when installing on a friends pc malwarebyte missed it but Adaware found it..of course adaware failed to remove it though lol

The tools I gave including Norton is what I think is the best thing you can get for Free..since as I stated before you can get Norton free every year...so it is what I suggest to most people and use myself since it is convenient...on my work pcs and servers I use Nod32 because so far it does well for me.

With the tools I gave you can pretty much say the pc is as secure at it could be. Of course there is not much you can do if there is a user error :/...cause as the saying goes.."The best protection is a smart user"

Oh and btw I also read the AV-Comparatives ever since it came out...I found it after being dissatisfied with Vb which gives everything 100% *sigh*

My favorite quote .."The best protection is a smart user"

You couldn't be more right. Also take note that all those tools you are talking about that have keep you trouble free for years are spyware/adware tools. Which goes back to the point of my post that 95% of your effort for a personal user is going to be focused on that and not viruses. So when determining the right porduct for personal pc protection you should (in my opinion) be sure that you have the best spyware/adware/highjackware protection along with antivirus.
