AV and firewall

[Ryzuma]

What are some good antivirus and firewall to use?
I am using AVG right now but I've heard so many bad things about it lately that I'm not sure it's the est choice anymore.

Check the section "Antivirus and Antispyware" and "Free Firewalls".

I use Avira, Spybot S&D with Comodo firewall.

Among the free anti-virus programs, Free AVG consistently tests well.

I have several computers (well, seven). I use the free ZoneAlarm firewall and a mix of Free AVG and MSE.

GFI Vipre Internet Security, cheap and very effective.
