Networks firewall help

im currently using zonealarm security suite but the antivirus bit just wont turn on at all, so im looking to change i guess.
so what im asking is whats a good firewall and antivirus, or seperate programs that wont totaly hog all my cpu.

if htis is in the wrong section, sorry ^^

 

I'm gonna get flamed, but I use Norton Internet Security 2006. Never had a problem!

 

FLAME ALERT

UGH Norton, OMGZ Yuck. (j/k)

i personally loved using both AVG (i'm a cheap *******) and Sygate Personal Firewall.

But lately i don't use a firewall since i have a hardware firewall now.

 

Just cause you have a hardware firewall doesn't mean you shouldn't have a software firewall still.

I personally don't run any at all.

 

same here but i have 2005. to cheap to upgrade

 

Ewww, Norton.

I use XP's firewall cos I'm almost always behind a router anyway.

Fir anti-virus I use NOD32 cos its what my company uses (on my recommendation).
Its excellent!

 

Blackice 3.6 as teh firewall Its doesnt hog at all. For antivirus, try Kaspersky AV, I use it and it hasnt failed me. When I originally switched from AVG, kaspersky found another 10 or so viruses that AVG didn't pick up Though NOD32 is also very good.

 

at the moment im just using the windows firewall but thats only until i get my ipcop box up and running.
