Panda antivirus and firewall. How about Zonealarm + Avast?

Anyone else have their pc restart on a regular basis after it flashes up an alert. Never used it myself but am trying to work out if it's any good. Seems to be a resource hog and as sygate is finished... Anyone used Zone Alarm free firewall and is it any good? Same for Avast.



My other half needs help!



I'm a linux user so don't have the same problems...

avast is timed trial



so is sysgate



panda is ok



get the following, all are free for a safe surfing experience,



install in SAFE mode with networking ( hit F-8 at boot time ), run them all in SAFE mode



with networking as you'll need it for the updates all the programs below will need.



Turn off RESTORE and the RECYLE BIN temporarily as virii can regenerate / reinfect even if you delete



them with both services on. After all the scanning and cleaning after a 2nd reboot and one last



scan do you turn both of them back on.
