Hi all

I am concerned over the security of my computer since I've had a few scares with trojans and a worm recently even though I mainly game.

I used to use Zonealarm but this and Battlefield 2 and my Star Trek Beta Game do not get on, so I went back to Sygate Personal, however I have heard that no more updates are coming out for it, so therefore it is wide open to more modern attacks.

I also have Spybot and Adaware along with Tuneup 2006 and Avg Free, I've been told AVG is not fool proof and many viruses escape it's defences.

Being as I am a gamer I like my system to run at a minimal of resources, so I am wondering for my peace of mind should I replace Sygate or not?
