Firewall=router its a hardware firewall and it doesn't get better than that. Anything else is just annoying. AV is useless really. Just don't go to sites you shouldn't be with IE and you should be OK. That means if that tingling sensation gets up and about, grab opera or your computers going to get nuked. |

Panda AntiVirus is the best antivirus at the moment. http://antivirus.about.com/cs/beforeyoubuy/tp/aatpavwin.htm |

Firewall - Windows SP2 firewall (at the host-level there is really no reason to use anything else) AV - AntiVir (it is the best free one IMO. |

NO I have panda and it pisses the f*** out of me. I can't stand it. And all the while there is a panda bear in the corner mocking me. Go with the Microsoft Firewall from SP2 and run AdAware every week. I don't really use an Antivirus since I keep my internet searching safe. Also one more thing, Mcafee is even worse than Panda and if you have it I would strongly suggest getting rid of it. |

Norton is defintly good, though it uses a lot of system resources. Besides that, I would say Anti-Vir. For Firewall, I say ZoneAlarm. For Spyware, I would say Windows Defender (currently microsoft anti-spyware) |

Firewall - ZoneAlarm Pro (I use McAfee though, also really good) AntiVirus - McAfee (but I've heard AVG is good) AntiSpyware - Microsoft AntiSpy @KoolDrew: What are you talking about? The Windows Firewall sucks! It can't do anything! The only thing good about it is that it comes with Windows. |
