Can anyone reccomend a decent free piece of Firewall and / or Antivirus software?

Ok so Norton is officially pissing me off now, it used to work fine but ever since it told me that there was a new version available and I downloaded it, it hasn't been the same, not the same features and it allowed stuff to get in which it wouldn't have before, for instance I now have an unknown dialler apperently attached to a file in program files which it tells me it can't get rid of... :blank: great, tell me theres a problem and then say you can't do anything about it >< Thanks Norton...

 

So yeah, I'm fed up with it now and I'd like to get either an all in one Firewall / antivirus program etc or a combination of two seperate programs that are both free (fed of of paying for crap software) and that are reliable, oh and if they can get rid of that dialler that Norton allowed that would be awesome too, Thanks. :smile:

On a slight note. Would it be worth it installing my free copy of McAfee? (I'm currently using AVG Free)

 

Nope, McAfee offers worse protection than AVG Free. A computer mag did a study a while back and compared 20 AV programs. AVG Free came 5th (payed version 4th) whereas McAfee came something like 18th...

Thanks. I'll stick with AVG Free then.
