Hi, Rosemarie. For the virus protection, I use symantech antivirus, and it works very well. I think you'd like that one a lot. Also, Ad-aware is a very good program, and extrememly accessable with Jaws. You can get the scripts for it on jfwlite.com. I hope this helps. If you have any more questions, let me know. Mat.

Can someone recommend a good firewall and antivirus program for me? I'm sure there are pretty good ones out that are free. Thanks in advance. Rosemarie
