    This might be the wrong forum, but it's not like this is the first time I've been wrong on something. I'm running Norton Internet security and it expires in a few months. It's such a resource hog and the fact that support is now in India with folks that barely speak English, I'm going the free route. I've installed AVG anti-virus, Ad-aware, Spybot and Spyware blaster. I'm thinking of Zone Alarm for the firewall, but some forums praise it and some condemn it. Any opinions here. Thanks!

    Yes you're right! This is the wrong forum! Try the Software Forum. However ZoneAlarm is a good tool and we do recommend it (see: How to Protect yourself from malware! step 3 ). However for some people it also can be a little resource hungry. On the otherside, protection does not come for free.
