Hey,
I'm kind of intermediate when it comes to security software, but
the free
AVG suite I have from Grisoft has done a perfect job at everything....
Hope that helps

Mike, on the relevant AVG webpage, prospective users are informed that
neither AVG Free nor AVG Anti-Virus Pro (at € 34.49 per annum)
provide a
firewall. One is, however, provided by AVG Internet Security, which
costs €
51.74 per annum....

To All: If you are using Linux, what firewall is recommended, since
AVG is, as far as I know, not available for Linux? Secondly, Windows
has a firewall of its own, thirdly, there is a pretty good one called
Escan from MWTI.com, which is NOT free, but pretty reasonable. :-)
Linux has a firewall built into the kernel, unlike Windows, where it's
an add on. This makes it much more secure.
To James Knott: Thank you for that info. I knew Linux was more secure in
that respect but did not know the specifics! :-)
