What should I replace Norton Internet Security with?

Hi,



I currently have a free trial of Norton Internet Security Suite on my HP computer. However, in a couple of weeks, the trial will end. My question, what free programs can I use to replace this program? In other words, what exactly does the Norton program have (firewall, spyware protection, etc.)?

Here's some ideas to "roll ya own" Internet Security Suite for free.



1. For your Anti-Virus......(Always use only 1 A-V)



I like the AOL AntiVirusShield. Don't let the name AOL scare you. AntiVirusShield is made by Kaspersky which is one of top-rated anti-virus vendors in the world.



In recent tests, the most popular free anti-virus, AVG, was only able to detect about 82% of a very large sample of viruses. On the other hand, AntiVirusShield was able to detect better than 99% in the same test.

AntiVirusShield has excellent virus detection rates and is extremely light on using your computer resources.



Updates many times per day to detect new malware.



Free to anyone, AOL member or not from:

2. For your Firewall..........(Always use only 1 firewall)



An excellent free firewall is Comodo Personal Firewall. It can pass firewall "leak tests" that even most of the "paid-for" firewalls cannot pass.
