About security for my computer?

I have installed the AVG antivirus and the AVG anti-spyware... I was told that they were good antivirus software... Is there anything else that I need to keep my computer protected? Previously I had norton and I think I had pretty much everything I needed for protection but since my licence expired I really dont know I need something else

You need to install one firewall.

The Windows firewall doesn't stop malware on your pc from dialling out.

http://www.zonelabs.com Zone Alarm firewall OR

You need all three anti spyware programs;

http://www.ewido.net - AVG(Ewido) anti trojan (which you have.)

http://www.lavasoft.com - Ad-Aware SE Personal anti adware

http://www.safer-networking.org - Spybot Search and Destroy anti spyware. Use the Teatimer settings to protect Internet Explorer, and the Immuniser to stop malware getting on your pc.

Also use Microsoft Defender and their online scans.

And these are useful utilities;
