Right now I am running, Zone Alarm firewall, and AVG and Spy-Bot for scans, Zone alarm so far has kept out all viruses, based on another computer that has had it for many months, used to have viruses quite often in it, now, each scan shows up clean. No problems with this computer either, based on about a month.

I'm pretty sick of Norton 2007 myself, and am looking for new AV software as well. But my question is, which version of AVG are we talking about here?

Zone Alarm and McAffe are great utilities. Even Windows XP and Vista have their own firewalls. (Make sure you activate it.) Zone Alarm is GREAT because it can even block the remote checks that Microsoft likes to run on my O.S., which I don't feel safe about.

I use Norton for anti-virus though. It's firewall is good, but has less control. If you turn the setting on the highest level, it will block just as much as ZA, but will also block friendly transmissions.
