Free Anti-Virus / Firewall

lo guys,

I was wondering, what would be the best free anti virus / firewall to use whilst gaming (Least resources used basically).

Im guessing AVG for antivirus but as far as firewalls go im not to sure which to go for.

Cheers

Load of topics already on this suggest the search button.

Avast / AVG do well for AV
Zone Alarm / Comodo do well for Firewalls

Though I prefer to use Windows Firewall and Symantec Corporate for AV.

As m4cc45 says there are loads of topics on this already.

However Avast is very good and so is Comodo. Zone Alarm isn't.

Using AVG and Comodo here.

I use AVG antivirus and antispyware, but have always used the Windows firewall (well since XP SP2 anyhow, obviously).

Windows and hardware firewall built into router. Antivir came out top on the latest detection tests and uses very little memory compared to AVG.
