FREE FIREWALl?

Question

do you know of any free firewalls or like antivirus things? put a link in ur answer if you do lese this is so URGENT like you have no idea. PLEZ HELP

Answer 1

Windows firewall is probally good enough for what you want, get Avira AntiVir free anti-virus, it catches about 94% of known viruses, and quick scan times, I cant recommend it highly enough, also get superantispyware free edition, fairly quick scan times, it works wonderfully at catching trojans and other c**p., Good luck.

Answer 2

I would suggest you check out some of these anti-virus and anti-spyware software programs along with a couple other recommended programs:

-McAfee 12 in 1 Security Center (anti-virus)

or AVG if you want a free program

-Spyware Doctor with AV (anti-spyware)

or Spybot S&D if you want a free program

-PC Tools Firewall Plus(free) (firewall)

-ThreatFire(free) (added virus protection)

-CCleaner(keep computer running pretty good, cleans up history and whatnot)

-Firefox(safe browser)

All of the above programs(aside Spybot and AVG) I use and have been using for a very long time now, all with fantastic results. For AVG and Spybot they are both good in the way of free protection but McAfee and Spyware Doctor are recommended.

Answer 3

If you're running Windows XP Service Pack 2 or higher, you already have a firewall built into your operating system.  Press the Start Button - > click Control Panel -> and double-click Windows Firewall to make sure it's Turned On.

Hope this helps.
