whats a good antivirus, firewall and antispyware software for my netbook?
What is the operating system on your netbook? There are many Linux netbooks out there along with the Windows models.
If it’s Linux, you can use avast, AVG, or ClamAV for antivirus. You can find instructions for installing Avast in Ubuntu on my blog at http://linugadgetech.blogspot.com/2008/09/how-to-install-avast-in-ubuntu.html
For firewall you can use Firestarter. http://www.fs-security.com/
For Windows XP I like AVG or avast for the antivirus. AVG is easier to set up automatic scanning. Get AVG from http://free.avg.com/download-avg-anti-virus-free-edition
For firewall I like ZoneAlarm – http://download.zonealarm.com/bin/free/1025_update/zaSetup_en.exe
For antispyware try Spybot or AdAware.

Check with your internet provider. I use McAfee which is provided free by my provider. Or check downloads.com for free software and shareware… search firewalls or antivirus on the site. Good luck.
