What is the top freeware antivirus and firewall software around? I have tried Kaspersky which is an all in one protection suite but I found it slowed down my computer and wasn't worth the price I paid for. I am now using the free version of AVG and am considering zone alarm as the firewall. Both are freely available. Are the commercial AVG and zone alarm any good? Are there any antivirus and firewall software, which are freely available and are effective in their protection?

How do I protect my Mac? What Antivirus and Firewall do I need? Hello! I would really appreciate your help with this! I recently bought a Mac (first one) and I would like to know what Firewall and Antivirus software do I need? I read somewhere Leopard come with a firewall, but it said it is not great. Also, I don't know if Macs come with an Antivirus already installed, or do I need to buy an Antivirus software? Basically, what do I need to get my Mac protected from hackers AND viruses and spyware? Thanks so much in advance1 Thanks for all the great advice so far, yet the advice is mostly about Antivirus. I understand I probably don't need one, but what about Firewalls to prevent hackers and avoid identity theft? Thanks for any feedback!!
Which antivirus & firewall is the best? Please give ur answer which can fit this configuration. Intel Celeron 1.40Ghz, 226 MB RAM, 40 GB hard disk. I used Norton Antivirus 2007 but it slows down my pc. I've read a lot abt other antivirus softwares before posting this question. All seems to have adv. & disadv. Which 1 do you suggest? Is there any need for another firewall other than Windows Firewall? If yes, wat abt Zone Alarm Pro? I hardly visit webpages which are unknown but I'm more concerned abt CDs, DVDs, pendrives, portable hard disks etc. Thanks for ur time!!
