I use avg at the mo and until recently have been using zonealarm but this realy slowed the system down although the system was water tight. I think.
The free avg is just anitivirus. Can you recommend me some free anti spyware/firewall ect...

Cheers.

Ad-Aware SE (v1.06, not the newer ones)
Spyboy S&D (v1.4, not the newest v1.5)
CCleaner (Latest)
Comodo Firewall (Free)

Anti-spyware:
Spybot
Ad-Aware

If you take a look at the freeware thread, you'll notice there is a list of free firewall software in the very first post.

I suggest Comodo firewall which is one of the best firewalls available and spybot for a free anti-spyware. And yes you are right AVG Free is just an anti-virus.

Job done. Thanks.

Antivirus: Avira AntiVir PE Classic
Firewall: Online Armor free
AntiSpyware: Spybot S&D + SuperAntiSpyware

I found Comodo v3 too buggy, it kept forgetting rules and after a while I was fedup with all the alerts and popups.
Online Armor free is very light, easier to use and find options, very stable and has loads of nice feactures like being able to restart programs if terminated, run programs with limited user control, etc.

I've gone off the latest comodo firewall, right bloated and crap imo. Much preferd the older version.
