Which Firewall and Anti-Virus do you use?

Please list in the following order;

Firewall:
Anti-Virus:
 
Me, I go this way.

Firewall: ZoneAlarm Pro
Anti-Virus: Symantec Anti-Virus Corporate Edition

👍
 
I don't need a firewall: I have a router with port-forwarding disabled.
I use Norton Antivirus.
 
FW: Sonicwall TZ170 !... Kick ass little Firewall with configurable what nots...
AV: None - Antivirus is for pantsies ;) - If I did want an antivirus running, it'd be NOD32. Think there's a reason MicroShaft has like 50000 licenses....

Note - The reason I don't use AV software is : all my Mail accounts are thoroughly checked (with 2 diff. scanner as a minimum) before I actually get the mail, and I'm fairly confident in my own judgment (both with regards to pages to visit, and email to open - although, I haven't had an infected email through in the last 2.5 years...)
 
Sygate Personal Firewall. its free. and i hate zonealarm.
None. They Never Seam To Work For Me, Or Crash When Scanning My Shareaza Plugins Folder.
 
McAfee Security Center that provides Anti-Virus protection, Firewall and Pop-Up and Spam blockers. It came free with my new PC. Oh well.

Also Spybot Search and Destroy. Good program, free too. :D:tup:
 
TrendMicro PC-Cillin for both Firewall and Antivirus (-_-)....

Worst Ever.

It looks like Norton's a good program. Is it so?
 
FW: BlackIce Defender - low resource usage but I'm starting to hate it because it doesn't always let certain apps work properly
AV: Norton Antivirus Corporate Edition. Almost no resource usage, very powerful scanning functionality, and it doesn't kill system performance
 
Firewall: Hardware.
Antivirus: F-Prot Antivirus, small and secure. 👍 The residential scanner (the thing that scans everything in the background 24/7) is only using just over 1mb of ram, and with the Scheduler enabled (automatic updates and such) it's only using about 3mb in total. Not to mention it has about a 98% detection rate and some pretty decent scan rates (faster then Norton by far). I don't know why all these people go for Norton... it's the biggest resource hog ever with the slowest scan rates I've ever seen.
 
I've got some rubbish PC-cillin on this Win 98 PC and on the other PC I've got ZoneAlarm Firewall and it's running Symantec Anti-Virus Corporate Edition.
 
Norton only takes 10mb

You know what they say the thicker the protection the longer you last.

umm.....yeah

But it's got the highest detection rate, and its auto-update engine is much more reliable than its chief rivals.

If it's only using 1MB RAM, where are the signatures held? On disk?
