Anti Virus / Firewall?

[S-Gray]

Well... ive recently gone back to WinXP Pro but i kinda remembered after i installed it that my Norton Internet Security 2001 wont work on XP ()...

Does anyone have any ideas of a good Antivirus and a Basic Firewall? (Free.. plus i dont really intend to download *n0rty* copies without a Viruskiller)

this one is free [and unlimited]. but as I've never used it I can't comment on it's performance.

A really good Free virus scanner is AVG antivirus:

Updates come out weekly!

As for a firewall, I use a freeware one called "Tiny Firewall" although I don't think the new version is free if you go to download.com and search for it you can get the freeware version.

Hope this helps,

Khan

ZoneAlarm is free and easy and I believe quite popular II use this at home and at work)

If you have Halifax online banking Tren PCcillin is free (rather than pay 30 quid)...it seems to catch all of the nasties before they do damage and has realtime, pop3 trap, and web trap. It also autoupdates nearly daily.
