Anti Virus and Firewall, Best Freeware

[topdawg66]

Hi guys,

In your opinion which is the best freeware anti-virus and firewalls. I am running AVG and Zone Alarm.

Is Avast a better Anti Virus? It will not run along with AVG.

and any suggestions on firewall would be appreciated - I believe Zone Alarm to be the best but am open to suggestions.

I find these are really good at sorting out any problems. Although I have been having alot of problems with Zone Alarm recently for a firewall, keeps cutting me off. it was good while it lasted, but now is giving problems, so am going to try the Sygate free firewall.

The new ZoneAlarm version doesn't seem to be good, but the 4.5 is excellent.
For antivirus I use AntiVir. It's also a good one.

ZA5 has so many issues that Zone Labs has put the link back to download 4.5. The big problems are with Pro and its integrated antivirus engine, but I hear Free has some issues too. I'm waiting for a while till they fix it.
