I 'think' I'm running windows 8. Zonealarm doesn't work, im running windows defender and a free avast scanner.

What firewall does BCF suggest I run? Mr. Green

I 'think' you want to format and install 7, just in case.

ESET Smart Security does it all for me on the pc, on the mac, I'm naked and alone on the internet.

zonealarm.....

save your self a load of trouble and get AVG free.
Dont install all the extra bloatware like "link scanner" etc though.

Start with Free AVG, once it starts moaning about license expiry, switch to FreeAV.

If your PC is behind a Router with firewall, don't worry about getting more software. Just leave the windows firewall on.

Avast Free Edition.

Register every year (its free). Switch off the notifications and sounds. Forget about it.

You can try Immunet 3.0 as it works with Windows 8 OS. I have recently switched over to Immunet and it has not disappointed me. You might want to give it a try!

Ahahaha people still use AVG/Avast.

Both are so bloaty and horrible.

Microsoft security essentials. Used for 2-3 years at least now and had no issues.

Once downloaded something dodgy and it told me.

Uses barely any resources and never ever pops up in my face unless you download or try and execute a virus.

AVG has gone crap. Slows every single computer we have in the house (quite a few) to a complete crawl when it's updating, and it seems to update a LOT. We're looking for something better at the moment...

EDIT: We also tried Avast. It's not better.
