What Firewalls, and Antiviruses do you all use?

[IQM]

Well?? I use Norton Antivirus (Antivirus), and Zonelabs Zonealarm (Firewall). I used to use McAfee Virusscan, but I'm just curious to see what protection programs you use? (Survey)

I use Norton Antivirus 2000, I used to use Norton Antivirus v5.

I use PC-cillin for my Antivirus and I do not have any firewalls on my computer so I don't use any software for it.

for antivirus, I use norton 2k, mcaffee, and AVP, for firewalls, I use black ice, I also use norton internet security.
I have had to do a low level format of 2 of my computers due to viruses, those suckers arent gonna get me again!

Another thread dragged to the surface...

Funny how some things don't change :) ZoneAlarm is still in use ;) I've never had viruses but thought I'd better pay attention so I have AVG in now, and ZoneAlarm as a firewall :D

[denniswrenn]

I thought you used atguard?

[parksie]

I did, but I changed it :)

[Jareware]

Same config as you IQM. Is ZoneAlarm so popular because it's free or because it's good?

Why?

(Just wondering, because I found AtGuard to be an extremely good firewall, passed all the tests at grc)

Well I dont worry about any of them, so I only use BlackIce and not Virus protection...I have never been infected with a virus :p

Yes i was, and I got it from you *ahem* I mean NetworkIce :D

It does very basic crap, id be happy with out it.

Dennis - yes, it did, but I really couldn't be arsed to spend ages mucking around with it. It was fun for a while, but it got in the way, since I had a ridiculous programs list :D

[Wynd]

I use the same as you - ZoneAlarm and Norton.

Dennis - Yes, BlackIce does suck. The reason I think so is because it doesn't actually stop anything. All it does is tell you that there is some activity, and you have to stop it manually.
