Re: Virus software help

using a hardware and software firewall is over kill for the common home
user.

Use AVG as your Antivirus and user a router to connect to your
highspeed connection (dsl/cable). its much better then a software
firewall solution and will free up resources on your computer since it
wont have to run a firewall anymore.
