AOL offers a firewall, antivirus software and spyware protection. How does it compare to other security software?

In a word ...... CRAP !!!
firewall I would go with zone alarm or better yet a hardware firewall.
anti virus I would say AVG , Avast, Nod 32 or if you want a free one clam win ( although avast is free to home users ) It is just down to personal preference :)
Enjoy

*shrugs* It's probably fine. They wouldn't be able to compete if they offered a really lame product... BUT... it is AOL. Frankly, I just don't care for AOL products (free or not).
I edit to agree with Gecko. I use ZoneAlarm for my firewall and Avast for my antivirus software -- in addition to running periodic checks for spyware and stuff with SpyBlaster, AdAware and SpyBot. But, I have never used AOL.

I would say, really... plz don't use any aol softwares or any kind of aol service.
all services that aol provides so far is CRAP!
Use McAfee.. is one of the best antivirus+firewall software rightnw.
You can download McAfee Internet security 2007 software for free from my website.
