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

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

NOD32 is a great program ... it is BETTER then norton in that it updates more often, and takes FAR less ram.  Not to mention theres a nifty lil patch that will make the 30 day trial last for something like 16 million days... which comes out to just over 45,000 years....

For free antivirus, you can use AVG\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/doc/2/lng/us/tpl/v5\n\nFor free internet security, use ZONE ALARM\n\nhttp://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/catalog/products/sku_list_za.jsp;jsessionid=ESBmGDeYddFtwP1H5r2XYSMBD10Pey12bO1iuuvV1e8RTtyQ4qXJ!-634197662!-1062696903!7551!7552!NONE?dc=12bms&ctry=US&lang=en&lid=nav_za\n\nor just use Yahoo or Google to find it.

you can go to http://download.com and do a search for AVG free\nit is a free virus scanning software...i like it a lot more than Norton because it isn't as annoying.  You might also want to do a search for spybot search & destroy.  It is a program that scans for spyware and other bad things and can remove them.
