Answer 3

Zone alarm is good...but I wouldn't recommend putting any free software on your computer...free anti viruses really do not get rid of the virus your best bet is to go buy a anti virus that has all that into it...Kaspersky is in my opinion is the best..but its is totally up to you.

Answer 4

Firewall: ZoneAlarm

Anti-Virus: Avast or AVG

Spyware: Spybot or Adaware.



All are more safely available through http://www.komando.com
