Yet to have a problem. -- Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, beer in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming

If your looking for paid software McAfee is the best anti-virus and Checkpoint is the best firewall... you wont like the cost though! Free software go to comodo.com for their firewall and anti-virus or use AVG anti-virus, either are ok for the job. If you really want to be secure I would advise you go buy a hardware firewall from D-Link and use that instead as it's cheap enough for the job. Also point to remember... Anti-Virus/ Anti-Spyware is only as good as it's updates and no match to be honest for good security practices such as not downloading from "peer to peer" or dodgey sites which are likely to contain hidden malicious code (don't expect your run of the mill anti-virus to find it). --
