All in Wonder Protection and Maintenance?

    Hi,
    Does anyone know of any program that could take care of everything protection, privacy and performance wise.

    At the moment, for these I use:
    Microsoft XP Firewall
    Avira Free AntiVirus
    Advanced System Care 3 for system maintenance and diagnostics
    CCleaner to get rid of all the crap
    AdAware spyware remover

    That's 5 different programs which all share something in common.

    So is there anything out there that can do what all of these separate programs do, together in the one package that wont use up too much ram, isn't a pain to keep up to date, easy enough to set up and use and if possible, freeware?

    Also, if there is a program that can do all the above PLUS has a "file recoverer" for accidentally deleted files and a "permanent delete" function to securely wipe any deleted files that's would be great Smile

    Any feedback welcome:)


    P.S. Do I need Adaware and CCleaner if I have Advanced System Care 3?

    You know what I use, Nat on the router. That's it.

    Do you know how many virus's my machine has picked up in the last 2 years. None.

    Best all-round protection you can get is between the keyboard and the chair.

    What's Nat on the router?:o

    I'd be using my laptop in various locations all around the place connecting to different routers all the time though, so I'd still need the on board protection too :)
