I can't speak for either one **personally**, but I believe I've
said before that AVG doesn't do that great in all the online
testing review sites that test anti-malware programs, but ZA
has been ranking very well, at or near the top for the past 2-3
years. So unless you're having some problems with ZA that
can't be fixed, I'd stick with it.

Hello again ... Last May there was some discussion about the
pros and cons
of AVG (free) and ZoneAlarm. I've had no trouble with either
one, however I
noticed this comment from Amando (I added some URLs)
:
AVG is far too bloated and I 've dumped it. I'm using Avira
instead, free,
of course ...
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Antivirus/AntiVir-Personal-Edition.shtml
And in combination with Online Armor, also free ...
http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Online-Armor-Free-Download-86678.html
... which replaces ZoneAlarm for a software firewall (free
also), I'm
confident that my systems are secure. --- Amando
Any updates on the virtues, pros and cons of Avira and Online
Armor? Do I
continue with AVG and ZoneAlarm or go to Avira and Online
Armor? --- Harold
