ChasingAmy · 02-12-2004, 04:56 PM

I need to find some good programs to use for these to functions. I used to just use Norton Sys Works, but for some reason i cant install any Norton products, which isnt a big deal b/c everyone says its shite anyways.... anyways, what do you guys use?

Thanks,

Zone Alarm (Firewall) and AVG Anti-virus) - both are free and seem to do the job quite well while not taking up too much of the resources available.

I use zonealarm (firewall) and norton, but if I had a problem getting norton to work, I'd probably be using avg for antivirus(which has gotten good ratings from many people).

I'm a fan of Zonealarm Pro and Norton Corporate Edition. I like Corporate edition because of the lack of a subscription need and ZAP for the advanced features (ie. custom rules).

Sygate or TPF are both excellent software firewalls.

Norton corporate is great.

I love my ZoneAlarm and AVG combo, I toss in some SpyBot for good measure!

And don't forget to run adaware as well.
One catches what the other misses.
