Would highly recommend NOD32, as it is very light on system resources. Did use Kaspersky in the past but found it to be a bit of a resource hog but not as bad as F-secure Internet Security was. Mostly recommend AVG free to people as it seems to do a fine job.

Was recently asked by a friend about comodo firewall, not one I'd heard of before. Does anyone have any experience of it?

Did used to recommend zonealarm but think the recent mess with a windows update stopping internet access has put a few friends off and they were wondering about an alternative..
