Internet security

Hi Folks

I'm looking at upgrading my antivirus and firewall. I'm currently using AVG & Zone Alarm. What I'm after is an all in one security package that doesn't hog system resources.
Would be grateful for any tips that people might have on this subject.

Thanks in advance

Use AVG and get a router with an SPI firewall then ditch the software firewall.

Thanks Wilf

I was looking at that option also. but to make it cost effective, the router will have to be in the £20-£30 bracket. Any recommendation on a decent one with SPI mate?

Not sure at the price mate but I have a 3Com Office Connect Wireless router and it's great. I've just seen one for £46 inc VAT with a free USB wireless adapter, which is pretty cheap.
