Free Protection for Win 2000 (Win ME)
You must have full time (active) virus protection and full time spyware protection and a firewall
All the following programs are free.
---------------------------------------------
Firewall
Comodo Firewall Pro 2.4.16.174

ZoneAlarm

Full Time (Active) Virus Protection
If you do not have active virus protection, install only one. All are excellent.
Try AVG first.

Zone Alarm is the appropriate. there are various comments approximately it. It has many putting although so it must be perplexing in the beginning up. you could set it to furnish you plenty popups or it learns which you enable. So its good and useful in my e book. Use the loose abode version from the link under. they attempt to cover it to get you to purchase professional the pro version isn't mandatory for abode use.
