Antivirus + Firewall

[LFC]

I'm using AVG Pro with firewall. 2yr license for same price as competitors (from my brief comparisons) who charge same for 1 yr. 33mb total ram usage as well

Ive been testing Nod32 and Zone Alarm Internet Security Suit and I actually like NOD32, it takes less than 19MB of memory! Ive checked their website and looks like is quite efficient.
So I think I am looking for good firewall now

[shaheenarshan]

yup nod32 is efficient atleast for me it has proved to be...and on the plus side does not take up as much memory ad does not slug up ur system like symantec

[skywalker]

I use Kaspersky Personal Pro v5.0 ( about $50)and Zone Alarm free. Works very well and consumes little memory resources

NOD32 is the best AV, I'd recommend Sygate Personal Firewall over ZA. For free antivirus programs, I'd say Avast! > Avira AntiVir > AVG.

kaspersky, segate personal firewall pro

I have been using these programs for over a year and they work brilliantly:
- Winpatrol for spyware. Consumes 3MB of memory
- AVG Free. Updates often, non-intrusive
- Comodo Firewall. I ran tests on this, it's perfect. Does everything.

For free AV, there is Avira, Avast, and AVG. Avira is the most accurate of these, but the most resource consuming and least popular. AVG and Avast are equal with each other, although AVG is more commonly recommended (it isn't better). For free firewalls, there is Comodo (good), the free version of Zone Alarm (not that great compared to the paid version), NetVeda (works best with 'technically-skilled' users), Jetico (again best with 'technically-skilled' users), and free trials of various professional products like Outpost. Comodo is pretty much the best of the free, and is comparable to the paid in performance. As with any choice though, it is best to download and try multiple and pick between which one you think is best.

Comodo looks really good.
