Anti-virus/firewall?

Hi everyone, im new here (to the forums) and I was wondering what, in your opinion, is the best software to use for protecting your computer, (anti-virus/firewall) and what you use on your computer. Any response is greatly appreciated. :D

Im using Antivirus Coporation Edition as a antivirusprogram and Sygate Firewall Pro as a firewall.

If you want Antivirus Coporation Edition ,then you can get it from here.
Antivirus program

I use Norton antivirus (professional) and zonealarm pro.. and i can recommended these programs..

i use norton internet security 2003 pro

this contains Norton AntiVirus 2003 pro and Norton Personal Firewall 2003

AVG anti virus & Zone alarm. Both free (my favourite price :P )

Norton av corp. edition 8 and zone alarm pro, both free. ;)

I use RAV version 8 for virus protection along with WormGuard(a heuristic file analyser)and Zone Alarm for my firewall.

I would also reccomend a Trojan scanner I use TDS-3(a bit complicated for a newbie) I have also used Trojan Hunter(very newbie friendly)

While were at it you might want to get something to check for spyware,I use Ad-aware 6.0.

Many of these can be found at Wilders security forums.


Peace botherdoobie
P.S. update regular!

Give the guy some help dudes. He asks what is best and not one of you have actually said why?? you use your preferred product (price doesnt count) Norton Internet Security is a very good choice for beginners because it more or less configures itself.
The others all have merits and if you are going to use free firewall zonealarm is the obvious choice.
Be sure to update all your M$ products cos they have holes bigger than calcutta.
Cheers
