What does everyone use?

I am looking for good anti-virus software (prefferably freeware).

is there one program that can do it all well? do I need 4 programs? Firewall? and other home PC security suggestions??

:tmyk:

Avast! Antivirus is good, AVG is alright. Both are free.

As fore firewalls, I used to use ZoneAlarm, but I eventually switched to Kerio. Both ended up causing issues, so now I run neither.

how important are firewalls? (on a home pc)

Well, it's important to have one, but XP has a built in firewall which is better than nothing.

:fail:

Avast is pretty good at not being a mem hog. AVG used to be as well, but they bloated up a tad lately.

Still no norton though.

The best antivirus software is AVG 2011. Its new features are very nice and easy to use. It removes every virus from the computer and make computer free from virus. It is also removes most common virus like Torjan and autorun.inf and also protect against internet virus. AVG 2011 is really great and most useful antivirus software.
