Now i need a good antivirus & also one good firewall

Pls tell me wht should i do

had anyone tried mcafee 2007 that came with this months digit CD
is it good to install.................?

McAfee needs more system resources. Hence needs a high configuration PC.
I suggest the following for your system configuration:

Antivirus: avast! Home edition (Freeware). It also comes with in-built network shield.
Antispyware: Windows Defender or Spybot 'Search & Destroy'
Firewall: Zone alarm Pro

do i need to install firewall or is antivirus alone capable to secure my PC........?

Firewall is essential if the PC is connected to internet most of the time. For normal circumstances, avast's inbuilt webshield + free firewall (zone alarm free version) will do.

You do need a FireWall, because, if a Trojan is present in your system (not detected by AV), the Firewall help out, notifying you that so & so process is trying to access the web, which you can terminate the access.

if you're willing to pay for those, then get
=>Kaspersky Internet Security.
=>ZoneAlarm Pro (it has a good Anti-Spyware).

this is one of the best AV+Firewall Combo.

freeware :

I use freewares.So I think I willl suggest you the freewares.
Firewall: Comodo Personal Firewall
Antivirus:Avast! Home Edition

You can try AVG free edition also. It's light on system resources.

AVG is useless................!!!
