I am using free AVG at the Office and free AVAST at home.
both AVG and AVAST are very good and updated when it comes to Virus Definition Updates.
Firewall. I know Mccafe has a free firewall but it slows your connection and your PC.
this is my advise.
do not use firewalls unless your in a network or your pc is a server and sharing files.
firewalls eats alot of memory and computer processing power that slows your pc.
hope it helps.

Personally I haven’t use Kaspersky, but I’ve been using AVG free version for the past 2 years and I’m very satisfied with its performance. In most cases that I had gone through some other “branded” anti-virus software failed to detect the viruses in my harddisk/thumbdrive but was successfully detected and healed/removed by AVG.
As for firewall, if you’re using WinXP, turning on the XP firewall would be enough.

ahh yess… i have been waiting for a question like this and i have been studying different anti virus programs and i will give u the list of the best anti-everything programs that are safe and free,
AVAST anti-virus = free and very good anti virus (download it from download.com)
Spyware-Doctor = best anti spyware service, but can slow down ur computer if u have less than 1 gb of ram and if you have a crappy processor (download this from pack.google.com and then only check spyware doctor then download that)
Firewall = (personally i dont like using extra firewalls and i stick to windows firewall because i have my internet protected already with a WEP code plus i bought my antivirus that has a built-in firewall, just to let u know sometimes firewalls that you download can screw up your internet and it blocks your internet so u can’t go online, so u have to uninstall it,)
if u really want a firewall download it from download.com, and type in the search bar “Comodo” and download comodo firewall pro that’s rated 4 stars… just stick with ur windows firewall cuz u won’t need more than that…

I have AVG. It doesn’t slow down the computer, is free and updates by itself. I’m happy with AVG.

Zone alarm is okay, Ive used it for a while now. Its annoying at first, but when you get it trained correctly, its fairly safe. I also use Avast antivirus. I found it more effective than McAfee.
