I run windows xp . I want to get the best advice for security . i have presently :

Ad-Aware SE Personal , Spybot-Search and Destroy , TweakNow Reg Cleaner ,

Spyware terminator , AntiVir ( personal edition classic ) , CCleaner , Win Patrol ,

Do i need to install a better firewall than the one included in XP ?

Sometimes i think i have too many , i am an intermediate .

Thanks in advance ,

Adaware and Spybot should suit you well.
I wouldn't bother with the others.

AV looks fine and as to firewalls I like to use ZoneAlarm (http://www.zonealarm.com/store/content/home.jsp).

An occasional scan with one of the online scanners is also a good idea.
Something like Trend Micro HouseCall - Start (http://uk.trendmicro-europe.com/consumer/housecall/housecall_launch.php) works a treat.

Yeah, you don't need more than that. I think you are safe as long as you keep them all up-to-date!
