The best protection is still yourself.

Dont open suspicious links, visit porn sites, or open Email's from anyone you dont know, or any email that is from some businesses selling things.

As for Norton and ZoneAlarm, I hate these broducts. They are bloated if you ask me. I like running programs that dont hog system resources. Even though I have 768MB of RAM, the average user has 128-256 and these resouce hogs can really slow a machine down.

As for AVG, I have seen it find Viruses on Norton and McAfee protected machines that did have the most recent update. I see no reason to pay for any kind of protection software.

Save your money!
