My recommendations are,
-- AVG Free Edition (Free for Life time)
-- Avast Anti Virus ( Register and get new key every 60 days for free version)
i would totaly agree with both of those, I use AVG Free Edition....and it cures any files that gets trown at it...it has updates practicly daily... I also use Spybot Search And Destroy for spyware..and it cleans up fine...they are both free for life too! |

nod32 has a firewall??? I did not know that, when I first got nod32 i really liked it so I scorched their site look to see if they also made firewalls which they didn't. They recommended me to stupid kerio, which doesn't even work as well. But I have to say that outpost or zonealarm is the best.

I just use avast and my router...togeather, theyre the best...oh, and I have MS antispyware, AD-Aware SE, CCleaner, and all sorts of stuff like that... but my best protection:not clicking on the FREE PORN links in my spam folder.... In my opinion, you have to be pretty stupid to get a totally infected system....

I don't use a software firewall anymore, as I've got one in my router, but when I was on Dial-up, Zone Alarm was the firewall I chose. I tried Kerio, and Sygate - didn't like them.

You may still need a firewall installed on your computer as a built-in firewall on your router may not block all of the intrusion. You may still risk being attack or even some scripts that make your router send unregconised data to your computer, making the connection crash or something.

So far, while using Windows XP, its own firewall has served well enough. While I used win2k, I used Zone Alarm without any trouble, as far as I know  It wasn't really "heavy" and I like the way it could be configured.

Norton Internet Security 2005
No Way! Norton is using too much resources and slowing down my computer alot more. It's irritating when a notice keeps poping up when an application is trying to access the internet. It will not ask once. It asks at least 3 times. And these popups are more irritating than web popups. Their popups are configured to be the front-most window. So whatever you are doing at the moment will be interrupted. I dislike it when I was playing a game in full screen and that popup appears and brought me out of the game so it could be the front-most window. After I return back to the full screen game, that popup took control again, and repeated more than 3 times. No longer will I go with Norton anymore. I'd rather have peaceful moments with free security tools than to pay for irritating software.

Norton used to be the best, but these days it really does chew through the system resources, and the subscription idea is really putting people off. Apparantly a lot of people have had issues with Norton screwing with files that it shouldn't and causing running errors. Best to stay away from I would say, unless you're a super computer novice (coz I'm guessing they have tech support )
