If your product says Zone Alarm Firewall, then you would also need a seperate program for virus protection. Zone Alarm does offer a security suite which includes virus protection and also a stand-alone antivirus program.

Yes you DO need an anti-virus program with the free and pro versions of ZoneAlarm. I think there is a more expensive version of ZoneAlarm that DOES have the anti-virus built in though.

It depends on the version of AVG you are using. I guess you are using AVG free. In that case, yes, you need ZonaAlarm if you wish to have Firewall protection on you system. If you have the AVG Antivirus + Firewall edition you won't need ZoneAlarm.

Yes.
Zonealarm will stop people trying to hack you.
AVG will find virus's.
These are 2 completely different aspects of computer security. You need them both.

Give up using Windows, and install Linux on your computer. Linux is immune to all viruses, malware, spyware and adware.
