I use, ZoneAlarm as my firewall as Norton was slowing down my system. I use AVG anti virus and Spy Bot search and destroy.

They all work really well as long as you update regularly etc.

Personal preference here but I've many years experience with Mr. Peter Norton and his applications. If I were you, I'd steer clear of Norton Utilities or Internet Security and only pay for their standalone Anti Virus program. And if you're looking for a good "free" firewall, then ZoneAlarm is for you. Used tegether (with careful consideration to settings) they are excellent protection.

Also, Norton AntiVirus has a "pseudo firewall" of sorts by way of a feature called "Internet Worm Protection".

My 2 cents worth...

I am currently running Norton and i have found it has indeed slowed my system. Which other anti virus programmes (free lol) apart from AVG (used already) are available?

Zone Alarm is great firewall, if you're on broadband you definitely need a firewall. The Windows one isnt good enough. I had some issues on my system where Zone alarm sent the CPU usage alarmingly high, but this problem doesnt affect everyone. So I would adivse you to give a try for yourself and see how it goes.

I have two PC's and I have McAffee and ZoneAlarms and SAdly the freeware ZoneAlarms actually catches more attacks than the McAffee. I use to own Nortons but it screwed my system up and had to do a clean install which really sucked. You can't lose with Zone Alarms

As for anti virus programs. I personally use a product called F-Secure. It doesn't hog the resources and runs pretty well in the background.

For a firewall I use Agnitum Outpost.

I use zone alarm, im no expert but seems to do well.

As for spyware, there are lots of different apps out there and they all work to varying degrees though I have seen them all caught out by one trojan or another, the best product I have found is Hijack this. This is probably not for the novice but you dont need to be an expert either.
