Please be advised that you have Zone Alarm Security Suite and you will have serious conflict with your system, if you install more then one antivirus program. You can run three or four antispyware programs without conflict. (Your only concern will be available resources), pertaining to antispyware.
If you are not happy with the antivirus program that comes with a suite, then I would suggest you remove the entire program.
Myself I have always failed to see how one program can be everything to all your antivirus/spyware needs. Especially when one program for antispyware and one program for antivirus has a hard enough time protecting you 100%.
Included below are all the programs I have used for over ten years and have never had one virus or spyware. I use the purchased antivirus from China. If you prefer a free antivirus program I have included, what I consider to be the very best technology for antivirus that is free.
Here are program I use that will give you 100% protection. Ofcourse you must also have all your critical updates installed from Microsoft.
I use the free zone alarm firewall for many years. Excellent with free updates and all new versions free. Protects you from rouge incoming packets and keeping your private data from leaving your pc.
http://www.zonealarm.com Download their free home for personal use.
Antivirus program I use. You only pay a one time fee of $29.99. and you get all updates and all new versions for life.
Read the webpage and if you like what you read this is the antivirus of choce I have used for over ten years and never one virus.
By culture the Chinese are very secret just about everything and that includes their software.
This antivirus program out of Beijing, China that is also used by the Government of China.
This antivirus program does not have the Govt. permission to be rated with all other known antivirus programs.
What I can assure you is that you pay only a one time fee for life that will include all auto updates, and all new versions for life. The Chinese don't believe in having to pay an annual fee for updates or new versions.
I can tell you their technology is light years ahead of any other known antivirus software out there.
If you open a webpage and there is a hidden virus it will clean in realtime. Anything that you download and has even a trace code, it will kill the download and ask you to upload the trace code for investigation. In real time the upload will tell you if it is clean or not.
Will not allow you download, Real Player, because there is a hidden file that is a trojan keylogger. The file was uploaded and traced back to the United States Army, Intelligence Services out of London, England. (Removal of the file Real Player will reject the installation).
Read for yourself at their webpage. I have never had one virus in ten plus years. Plus it will catch any progam with it's dynamic defense system, for software that you download and it does not have a publisher or lic., included.
Twister Trojan Antivirus V7
Very low on resources with scanner running in background.

You should never run 2 anti-virus programs, so you would have to un-install your ZA Security Suite in order to not have a conflict if you download another anti-virus.
And when you un-install your ZoneAlarm, you will lose your firewall and your anti-spyware protections, too. So you will also need new downloads of both of them also.
Zone Alarm Security Suite is excellent security for your computer. I strongly suggest that you keep it. Take a bit of time and learn how to configure ZA properly.
Besides, the alternative would be to learn and understand 3 seperate new programs (anti-virus, anti-spy and firewall).
Good luck.

Since you said you're just downloading songs, you should be ok. It's the movies (especially .wmv's) and software that can cause problems. I've personally never had a problem with Limewire. Just to be safe though, get yourself some antivirus software if you don't have any. Avast! and AVG Free are both great and free (I run both).

Norton Anti-Virus is probably the most reputable anti-virus system out there. You can pick it up for about 60 bucks at your local Best Buy. I'm sure someone is willing to loan you $60.
Alternatively, you can get it on Limewire, or via torrent, but that has risks in itself.
