i really like AOL antivirus. it’s by aol but it’s from kaspersky, which is a pretty good security company.
i’ve been using zone alarm pro for the past 5 months and i love it. it’s a little annoying in the beginning because it keeps asking you to allow or deny programs, but that’s what a firewall does!
Here’s some ideas to “roll ya own” Internet Security Suite for free. Free is always the best.
1. For your Anti-Virus……(Always use only 1 A-V)
I like the AOL ActiveVirusShield. Don’t let the name AOL scare you. ActiveVirusShield is made by Kaspersky which is one of top-rated anti-virus vendors in the world.
In recent tests, the most popular free anti-virus, AVG, was only able to detect about 82% of a very large sample of viruses. On the other hand, ActiveVirusShield was able to detect better than 99% in the same test.
Full test results are here:

ActiveVirusShield has excellent virus detection rates and is extremely light on using your computer resources.
Detects and removes spyware too.
Updates many times per day to detect new malware.
Free to anyone, AOL member or not from:

2. For your Firewall……….(Always use only 1 firewall)
An excellent free firewall is Comodo Personal Firewall. It can pass firewall “leak tests” that even most of the “paid-for” firewalls cannot pass.
And Comodo has a great support forum. Where the CEO / President of the company might even himself answer your question! Check it out at:

AVG Anti-virus, DEFINATE WAY TO GO !!!!
I use AVG Antivirus and Zonealarm Firewall on the computers I build. Both work extremely well.
AVG
You definitely want AVG free and Zone Alarm free edition. The two work perfectly. I had Avast for a while, but then I switched to AVG, then I was able to understand how to work it, plus all of its updating and scanning seem almost invisible, only a notice or two will come up, and it definitely does not slow the performance of one’s computer, like Norton or avast. Zone Alarm pro is a good investment, but The free one isn’t much worse. FYI it won’t recognize AVG, but there’s nothing wrong with that.
