Which would you believe is the best Antivirus, and Firewall out?
I don't know about antivirus, but for firewall, I would use my router to send all connections to another computer other then the one I want to protect.
I'm talking about more of a software Firewall.
Blackice is a good firewall, but I dont know if its the best. Symantec is also a good antivirus.
I quite like ZoneAlarm. It's made by CheckPoint, which is my favorite corporate firewall.
As for Anti-Virus, I can't help you there. I use ClamAV once in awhile, but only because it's free.
Damn, I hate Norton.
I don't like Symantec's antivirus much, I find it hurts performance a lot..
I also don't like TrendMicro's, because I've had some bad experience with them.
I don't know what is good, though, but I know those two are bad :)
# First set the incoming chain policy.
iptables -P INPUT DROP
# Make sure there aren't any spurious rules left over.
iptables -F INPUT
# Problem solved.
# Users may want to consider adding rules to permit TCP streams to remain open, but that could be considered a security risk.
# Add rules at your own risk.
i use ZoneAlarm and Norton. im gonna have to reinstall norton cause the auto-protect is broken :(.
but nevertheless, ZoneAlarm is really great with all the features. hell it even integrates with my Norton. well not really but it does in a very weird way.
btw:why are you making this topic everywhere?
Different people, and different opinions.
Before my hdd died, I used Avast Anti-Virus and I think Kaspersky for a firewall.
Norton's Anti-Virus & ZoneAlarm
Kaspersky is a resource whore if I ever saw one.
I never noticed.

Haha, I hadn't thought of that one. Good point!
I have McAfee virus scan and Sygate firewall.
ClamAV (google it) and pf ->
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/firewalls-pf.html
For windows:
ClamWin antivirus
Sygate personal firewall or if you know what you're doing Tiny personal firewall
(not reccomended, Sygate is best for newbies or most)
