This guide will be the best est solution for Home Users and I hope Businesses Also gets benefited from this.
First of all some general preventive measures that must be followed by each and every individual to prevent these ever growing Internet threats:
- Stop navigating Porn Sites. Yes! Bulk of these Internet threats comes from Porn Sites.
- Follow the search engine warnings. Now whats this? Whenever you search for something, you will find millions of pages. Some pages are exclusively marked by search engines as dangerous for your Computer and Privacy. Never enter such sites. If your updated browser gives you suggestion for not entering a particular website than simply ignore the site and be happy.
- Check the e-mail ID thoroughly, if you are going to download any file which is present as an attachment. Also be aware of Image Spamming Technique
- Never ever enter your credit card information or any potential personal information in any site which is not SSL Secured. SSL Protected sites shows a small lock icon at the bottom of your browser window or in the URL/Address Bar. If you made a mistake than immediately contact concerned authority.

- SUbsribe to security newsletters. They are free and will let you remain updated, Microsoft and other secuirty software sites gives free information.
The list can be endless, but I tried to mention the basic flaws that normally users commits.
Regarding Softwares for Home Users Go for AVG Antivirus or Avira Antivir as Best Anti-Viruses. For Anti-Spyware, Go for a-Squared or Spyware Terminator, these 2 softwares are best est solution for removing malware, trojans, scumware etc. etc. For firewall Go for Comodo, Sygate or Zone Alarm. Also remember to update these softwares reqularly.
Never run two software of same kind simultaneously at all. If still you want to run them, use one for auto-protection and other one for scanning only. Single firewall will suffice you, 2 simultaneous firewall will clash definitely.
Still not convinced from the Above list than read the best est solution at Tech Support Alert.
If you can pay some bucks for security softwares than go for Kaspersky or Norton. These are the best paid solution and also offers Parental Control and greater benefits to paid users.
If you are on a small/large business than you must go for Enterprise solutions from Kaspersky and Norton. Better go for whole Internet Security Suits which consists of Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware, Firewall and other essential features for business.
Also update your operating system on a regular basis and be sure you install critical security patches. This goes same for, if you are on a server side. Those who runs servers got ample official support from Microsoft and Linux.
