Zone alarm - ZoneAlarm is a software firewall originally developed by Zone Labs, which was acquired in March 2004 by Check Point[citation needed]. It includes an inbound intrusion detection system, as well as the ability to control which programs can create outbound connections — the latter not available in the Windows XP Service Pack 2 firewall. As of early 2009[update], the newest release is ZoneAlarm 8.0. Currently ZoneAlarm is a brand covering what formerly was Zone Labs. Usage of Zone Labs brand gradually ceases.
I think avg is the best because it has a free edtion and it dosent take alot if memory like norton does. It also doesnt take much hardware space and it updates by itself. It also updates the free editon most other programs dont do that. It keeps most virus's out of your computer or keeps them in a virus vault.

I don't agree with Sunny that AVG is the best. The free version doesn't update very often so it finds a lot less viruses than other programs. I think the best program is Kaspersky.

I agree with parts of his post because i think Norton is bad. But i do not agree with AVG because a lot of free Anti Programs are not that great but it might be. Also i think Kaspersky is the best but it is not free.

I don't agree. I believe that AVG is not the best Anti-Virus program. I agree with the info, but I do not think AVG is # 1. Kaspersky is the best.
