Why not use AVG Free edition?. It's never let me down and coupled up with Sygate personal firewall, i cant find ANY online system scan that can gain access to my pc.

Some firewall product makers are blurring the line slightly by providing products with both but rarely with a comprehensive solution.  So, to be completely clear... AVG is a purely anti-virus product while sysgate is purely a firewall... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

F-Prot is another good free AV program and a lot of people don't like that cos it runs in DOS box !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
