I use Zonealarm for my software firewall, however if I ever got my network up and running with more systems, I would use a hardware firewall like SmoothWall

For anti-virus I use Anti-Vir and for the firewall I use the SP2 firewall.

I would trust Norton the most, but it is a huge resource hogger, as I previously mentioned. I have no antivirus, and I have never gotten a virus either. Some tips on how to protect yourself without a virus scanner:
  • Use a VERY good firewall & spyware scanner.
  • Do not visit sites that have a possible risk of transmitting a virus or trojan horse to you.

It is still wise to use a virus scanner as a firewall does not 100% stop virus come to your computer.

The best Firewall would be Zone Alarm free edition but the WindowsSP2 firewall is pretty good  and AVG 7 free edition for the best Antivirus.

I agree with simple here.  I use ZoneAlarm for firewall, and AVG for anti-virus.

Saying \"I don't need an anti-virus because my surfing habits are safe\" is like saying \"I don't need to wear a seatbelt because I drive safe.\"

Something like AntiVir works great and uses very little system recourses.

Couldn't have said it better myself ;)  Perfect example.
