As we all know when using a computer over the internet it is a must to have an antivirus and firewall. Would like to know which software do you guys use for pc security.

Personally i use

Avg antivirus (free edition) : basically does the job and never had a virus attack so no problems with this one.

Firewall : I earlier had windows firewall now moved to zonealarm firewall.

Antispyware : Combo of Windows defender and Asquared free edition

I use the mcafee suite. It has Anti-Virus,Firewall,and Anti-Spyware in one package for $40 a year. It is great! The program is incredibly useful and catches everything that comes at it. It isn't a resource hogger either, I can play FPS's and notice no additional lag.

AVG + Zone Alarm. Both free, both easy to set up and run. I don't like Norton, and I really have no desire to start paying a subscription fee. And I have no reason to, my current config has been working great.

Comodo for both AV and firewall its the best at the moment.
