i hate to break it to u guys but if u want the best virus protection i suggest using mcafee anti virus and set the default settings to the highest security scanning there is on that program to help protect u and everything u do on ur computer and while ur online... dont use zone alarm for a firewall, there are too many backdoors open with zone alarm that cant be detected by the program itself... u would never dream of how many hacker could get through zone alarm and break into ur computers with it... if u want a really good firewall i would suggest black ice for instance... theres another firewall i would say to use but cant remember the name of it at this time... hope u guys understand where im coming from with my security analyzing skills with detecting flaws in computer and internet security... take care
