Anti-virus Software

What anti-virus should I use? I personally use AVG. AVG is a free program that scans emails,files, and overall protects your computer. It updates at least twice a week so it is always up to date. There are other versions of the AVG software that you need to pay for, but they do not add much to the program. Most people use Norton. DO NOT USE NORTON! Norton just slows down the computer and takes up hard disk space.

Firewalls

There are several free firewall programs out there some are good and some just suck (like norton. I use Comodo Firewall Pro. Its free and professional quality as the name implies. The first times you launch a program with Comodo installed it asks you Allow or Deny connection to the internet? I found this annoying at first, but now it is not a big deal as it doesn't pop up as much.
