  1. I Recommend Download Avg Free Edition here http://www.download.com/AVG-Anti-Virus-F...

    AVG Free Edition is the well-known antivirus protection tool. AVG Free is available free of charge to home users for the life of the product. Rapid virus database updates are available for the lifetime of the product, thereby providing the high level of detection capability that millions of users around the world trust to protect their computers. AVG Free is easy to use and will not slow your system down (low system resource requirements. Highlights include automatic update functionality, the AVG Resident Shield, which provides real-time protection as files are opened and programs are run, free Virus Database Updates for the lifetime of the product, and AVG Virus Vault for safe handling of infected files.


  2. Your ZA firewall is OK, there are a few better rated ones but you likely will be OK with using ZA.... SAS is an excellant anti-malware program, and I include it in my list of great programs that are all free (not trial versions, just free)... SAS is great, but remember it is one you manually run and you manually update - it is not an active program that is on guard like BOClean or MalwareBytes.... but you need both types to look out for each other...........

    Outstanding protection programs that all work well together,

    several good anti-spyware, anti-malware programs (and free!):

    SpywareBlaster .....

    Comodo Boclean

    SuperAntiSpyware

    Malwarebytes Anti-malware

    Those are the top rated anti-spyware programs........ Not anti-virus programs....... but chances of getting a true virus are slim, the predominant problem on the web is trojans and other malware (MALicious softWARE )......

    For Anti-Virus protection then Avira AntiVir and Avast Free 4 Home are arguably the 2 best free anti-virus programs, with extra protection.

    That will give you great protection; especially if you are carefull about not opening attachments in emails that you didn't expect and you are very careful if you go to " Peer2Peer " file sharing sites to share music or photos. That opens you up to plenty of problems. Won't even go in to the legality issue on that..... If you are worried about Trojans, as well you should be, then do yourself a favor and do not use AVG 8.0 free AV program, as it has been having lots of problems but the biggest negative is it has failed to stop many different trojans..... It has tested so poorly in independant testing sites, they don't even list it anymore as it has shown to be the worst....
