    Computers

    Does anyone know any good internet security software with anti-virus and firewall??

    Ive used Norton and its CRAP!! I can't use the new Mcafee because it does not suport my operating system which is Windows ME, so I found another one called AVG. Has anyone used this before?? It had 1 good review so I was wondering if anyone else has it here?? Please give me some feedback about it.

    Thanx in advance!!

    I've used AVG for a number of years now and always recommend it to friends when their update subscription to Norton runs out. I've never had any problems with it.

    AVG is OK. Avast is free and better, as it is truly auto-updating without user intervention.

    Check it.

    Get a router for a firewall; software firewalls are all too often either suspect, obstructionist or both.
    Idealism is fine, but as it approaches reality, the costs become prohibitive.

    As a bonafide geek girl I second that.

    I've AVG and Zone Alarm Firewall in my laptop but my main PC came with McAfee Security Center pre-installed so I decided to keep it with a two year license. Both machines also have Spyware Doctor.
