As two other people have pointed out, AVG is great and free.\n\nJust stay away from Symantec --it slows down your computer tremendously.

AVG free works great!

Yep, Avast antivirus is excellent antivirus software. Besides, it's free. I'm using it now, also tried Norton Antivirus (worked fine but cased some problems with network), Dr. Web. As for antispyware&#92;malware and a firewall I use Privacy Expert but there are a lot of other solutions.

butchell is right !\nAVG Free version is the best way to go. It uses very less computer resources while running + you get email virus scanner and auto virus definitions update for free even in the Free version of AVG.\nI hope this helps!

AVG 7.1 is being discontinued - being replaced with 7.5 which will also be free. Just need to download the new version and install

"True Vector", is the brains behind "Zone Alarm", that makes the entire firewall function the way a correct firewall should perform.  Protecting you from rogue incoming ports that attempt to scan your system or send you a data packet of trojans.  And you are protected from personal data leaving your own system.  \n\nYou don't want Windows Firewall, as it only gives you one way protection, from incoming ports.  No protection on the data that leaves your system.    \n\nJust remove if you hae not already and reinstall ZoneAlarm.  \n\nI have used ZoneAlarm free for home personal use for nine plus years a the odd time "True Vector", will screw up during the installation.  An I just reinstalled.  Otherwise it is a great free firewall.\n\nMinddoctor, France

AVG gets great reviews. You should never use two anti-virus programs at the same time. \n\nThink of it like having two goalies trying to protect a single soccer net -- they are going to get in each others way and some balls will get through. ;o)

Better use these utilities\n\nSpyware Doctor\nAd Aware \nZone Alaram Firewall\n\nand more software reviews from

AVG Is Good When compared to other free. Its Scanning Is 99% foolproof, but is rather slow.

Norten's is a very big cpu hog. If you want a really good anti-virus try avg free 7.5 it is great. I use comodo free firewall it also is a very good product.\n\nDump norten's it isn't as good as it used to be, trust me I know and made the switch.\n\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2/\n\nhttp://www.comodo.com

You can only have one antivirus and one firewall program on your computer at one time.  If you use more then one your computer's security could actually be degraded instead of increased.  If you are using a 3rd party firewall (eg. zonealarm) make sure the windows firewall is set to off in the security center.  AVG and Avast are 2 great free programs, and should work together w/ the firewall portion of Norton just fine...  good luck...

My favorite free antivirus program is the award-winning Avast! Home Edition.\nIt can be found here, http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html\nHere are a few of its awards, http://www.avast.com/eng/awards.html\n\nFor a firewall, I like ZoneAlarm http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/company/products/znalm/freeDownload.jsp

Forget Kapersky - no better that the two you mentioned, and seeing as a couple of new viruses are USING Kapersky to knock of the completion, especially avoid!\n\nWhy AVG - both because it is free and because it is one of the few to be able to run properly on Vista (you may be surprised how many of us are actually using Vista already).\n\nPersonally my first choice has always been Symantec Corporate. Being a corporate version means it is both smaller/lighter by way of the footprint it leaves on your system (not a resource hog at all), but also tends to provide better coverage than basically ALL the AV's marketed for home usage - and yes home users can still purchase it from Symatecs website... cheaper than the Norton products too :)
