I've just built a new PC and I've finally updated to Win7, from XP, so it's been a bit of a big step.

But before I get it on the net and downloading, I need some secruity software. For an anti-virus I was going to go with NOD32, since it's served me pretty well on XP. But I'm a bit stumped on what to do for a firewall, I've always used zonealarm free, but I'm wondering if it's time to upgrade to a paid for firewall and if people have any recommendations.

Also are there any tweak guides for Win7 I should be reading?
 
NOD32 is fine. :) For the firewall, many will say just use the windows 7 built in firewall. Its good, but I still use Zonealarm's free firewall. According to zonealarm it has blocked 45492 attempts.

Windows 7 is pretty maxed out anyway, there's not much to change. In fact most of the changes recommended either do nothing sigificant or slow down the computer.
