Zone Alarm is the best free firewall.  The only hard part about it is finding the free link on Zonelab's website.  I believe it to be better than Microsoft's firewall.  The reason being is you have more control over it.  Now Microsoft's One Care is the best software for the price.  Generally it is on sell somewhere for $29.99 and you can get a low price guarantee just about anywhere.  One Care is only good for broadband users, people with legal copies of Windows XP, and best bang for the buck can be installed on 3 PC's.  PC-Cillin Security Suite would be my alternative for people without broadband.  I just focused on the firewall aspect of these products and price.  I believe in not spending outrageous amounts of money on PC protection.  All PC protection is only 80% effective no matter what the software people may say.  I would try AVG Free Ant-Virus for viruses and they make an anti-spyware.

Use a good comination of antivirus, firewall and anti-spyware. There are manmy available for free and worth to do the task. Zone-alarm is best free firewall protection. Spybot search and destroy is good ant-spyware. Antivir is good free antivirus (Lite on machine also).\nYou can use Trend Micro Internet Security 2006 suite OR Symantech Internet Security 2006 bundle. They are great all in one package but costs a lot and resouse hungry.

Go to grisoft.com and download AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition.  It's a respectable AV Program, especially for free.  \n\nFor spyware, go to safer-networking.org and download SpyBot Search & Destroy 1.4.  This is also a free program, and very powerful.\n\nIf you're not looking to install software, go to trendmicro.com, and use their website-based scanner.

Zone alarm & AVG are both free & very good. Plus if you happen to be running an incompatible firewall with your mcafee that can also cause problems.
