AVG is an excellent antivirus/firewall system. It's inexpensive too. I think it's 30 something dollars for 2 years. They also have daily updates. I've used them for 4 years now.

I use AVG Free Anti-Virus. It is the best for virus protection!!!
For the firewall. I just configure my Windows Firewall very good, and it seems to work best for me!

Hello, for the longest time my husband and I used Norton anti virus but it ran out on us so for a few weeks now we've been using Avast it's a really good program and it's free it's good with protection, virus scans, and a really good fire wall system hope I have helped you out

if you want something free that works well, go for AVG. you can go into google or yahoo and type in AVG and usually the top site found is the home page for AVG. They have two options there, paid and free. THere is very little difference between the two but for a free one, AVG is the best one I've seen online.

I would highly recommend AVG antivirus. It's probably the best you can get and the least intrusive on your computer. Norton and McAfee are way too protective of the computer and they make it run slower.

you know you have to uninstall your mcafee right? It is because if you have 2 anti virus programs, they might produce false positives.
you also can only have 1 firewall program.
My set up is the following
Kerio Firewall (on my laptop)...Outpost (on my desktop)
AVG Free antivirus
Spybot Search and Destroy (anti spyware)
Spyware blaster (prevents spyware)
Ad aware (anti adware)
Ccleaner (cleans up the hard drive)
good luck.

For anti-virus try AVG at http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1 (this is free, but you can buy the professional edition)
For Firewall, you can try Zonealarm at www.zonelabs.com (have free edition too, and you can also buy the professional edition)

goto www.grisoft.com and get AVG for free and for a good free firewall goto zonealarm
Norton is garbage and a resource hog
