You wont find much better than Kaspersky for AV , and Zone Alarm Pro (turn off the inbuilt AV) for a firewall.

NOD32 is very good for A/V.

Why not just use the free version of ZoneAlarm that is just the firewall?

Not the full Firewall.

But everything is free on the net. You just need to know where to look ;)

If you think i'm ringing the premium rate number given on that website at £1.50 a minute to answer a simple monkey related question you can guess again.

I've heard all these numbers are just scams to fleece innocent monkeys!!

I'm well aware of that, I just like to avoid unnecessary bloat on my PC to help things run smoothly.

I've also heard that Ghostwall is a better firewall than ZoneAlarm and it's 100% free. Haven't got round to testing it yet though.

A/V, Nod32 is great, finds everything, runs quickly, doesn't get in the way at all.
