ok so with me about to format my pc and im looking for a decent firewall program that includes anti virus simple as, and does not clug up so many resources.

any recommendations? what are you guys using?

avg free edition

yeah avg is good. can get it for free. i use avg internet security 7.5 or whatever. Can get a 2 year subscription for 3 licenses for $100. That's what I will be doing when I get my third comp running.

is the firewall in windows xp ok? i mean id rather just run that and then a stand alone antivirus program. plus i have the hardware firewall in my router so i should be ok. or is the xp firewall worthless?

Standalone AV: [url=http://www.eset.com/:eb97b]NOD32[/url:eb97b]
Av & Firewall suite: [url=http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=183490:eb97b]Eset Smart Security beta 2[/url:eb97b] (the beta is free to use and is stable)

I use norton av and firewall, yeh i r teh noob.

AVG Free antivirus and mcafee personal firewall here.

No problems at all and no clogging.

AVG + CCleaner + Adaware = clean comp, gg.

Avast for the win!!!

ima give nod32 a try.


anyone just using the windows firewall?

been using the windows firewall for my pc for about 2 years now. didnt have any viruses or spyware until I started watching pr0n on it.

XP firewall does its job, been using it since i had XP with no problems.

What do you guys think of the uniblue shit?

symantec corporate and i aint no shareholder either the_finger:

If you're on XP, remember the Windows Firewall only blocks incoming shit. The one in Vista does in and out, but outgoing is disabled by default. (I can't remember what OS it is you're using Terence.)

well the xp firewall mr ecko, but it blocks certain programs accessing out or asks.


using nod32 at the moment, pretty happy with it and like the on access scanning with the AMON thingy.
