Which is the best Free anti-virus AVG or Avast, and does it come with everything? like firewall??

I am a previous norton user, came free, now my 90 days is up and can't afford another round with norton, so I want a free download, also, if I download a free program, do I have to add anything with it for more protection?



Thankyou!

The only free Internet Security Suite is called Blink PE. but I don't recommend it. If you're considering freeware security applications, you can choose from the following:



firewall: (listed in order of preference)



Comodo (http://www.comodo.com ), or



PC Tools (http://www.pctools.com/firewall )



Comodo recently released version 3.0 of its firewall, which adds an intrusion prevention component that's very effective, though it does take time for it to learn your system, and requires some ongoing attention by the user to make sure programs don't get improperly blocked. Comodo is one of the strongest firewalls available, freeware or commercial, according to the independent testing site matousec.com.



antivirus: (listed in order of preference)



Avira (http://www.free-av.com )



AVAST! Home (http://www.avast.com )



AVG (http://free.grisoft.com )



all provide realtime protection and automatic updates; all have ICSA and VB100 certification, but Avira has been among the highest rated in tests by several respected US and UK computer publications.
