    Installed all those programs and Software Inspector is running now.
    Is there anything else I should install or think about to keep me safer?

    That should be about it.

    You might look at Comodo BOClean, it will run alongside everything else you have. - http://www.comodo.com/boclean/boclean.html

      Ok, I'm running the Software Inspector and I have 4 different little "blocks" about Sun Java.

      "This installation of Sun Java JRE 1.5.x / 5.x is insecure and potentially exposes your system to security threats!

      The detected version installed on your system is 1.5.0.0, however, the latest secure version released by the vendor, fixing one or more vulnerabilities, is 5.0.160.2.

      Update Instructions:
      Update to 5.0 Update 16 or later.

      NOTE. Older versions of Sun Java are not removed from your system when downloading and installing new versions from Sun. Therefore, if you have the latest Sun Java version installed, then you should consider removing all older versions of Sun Java from your system. This can be done via "Add/Remove Programs" in the Microsoft Windows "Control Panel". If you are in doubt about removing older versions of Sun Java then please contact the vendor for assistance.

      Vulnerabilities Fixed:
      Read about the vulnerabilities fixed with this update in Secunia advisory SA31010 (opens in a new window). The Secunia advisory describes the vulnerabilities fixed by the latest security update. If your installation is outdated with more than one version, then more vulnerabilities may be covered.

      This will fix it.

      Download JavaRa
      • Unzip the file and open the JavaRa.exe
      • Click Remove Older Versions
      • JavaRa will search for and remove any outdated version of Java and remove any that are found.
      • Exit JavaRa
      • Delete the JavaRa .zip .exe and .html files from the Desktop

        Ok, did that. I'll just let the Software thing finish then.

        But I also noticed:
        "This installation of Adobe Flash Player 9.x is insecure and potentially exposes your system to security threats!

        The detected version installed on your system is 9.0.115.0, however, the latest secure version released by the vendor, fixing one or more vulnerabilities, is 9.0.124.0.

        Update Instructions:
        Update to version 9.0.124.0.
        http://www.adobe.com/go/getflash

        NOTE: When updating Flash Player, older versions are not always automatically removed from your system. If older versions were detected that you believe should not be present, then please contact the vendor regarding how to remove them from your system.

        Vulnerabilities Fixed:
        Read about the vulnerabilities fixed with this update in Secunia advisory SA28083 (opens in a new window). The Secunia advisory describes the vulnerabilities fixed by the latest security update. If your installation is outdated with more than one version, then more vulnerabilities may be covered.


        Installed on Your System in:
        C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32.dll"

        Is this truely out of date or just like the Java thing?

        Also should I download a Firewall? Or will the AVG one work next time?

        I've got one for that too :)

        Download the Flash Player Uninstaller and save it to your desktop.

        Run the uninstaller program and then reboot your computer to complete the uninstall.

        Download and install the latest version of Flash Player
