f you are looking for a good "free" security suite then is the best option around just now. ive only tried it for 10days so i cant really review it properly but so far it seems good. you can do a express install,if you are not too tech minded or a custom install. it comes with full anti virus protection and malware protection (rootkits, trojans, worms etc) its own firewall it has variable scan settings and its not intrusive. i beta tested a few comodo products and to be honest i was not that impressed with them!! but this seems to be a good bit of kit and worth a go...you can get it at freeware and its link is Freeware Files - Free Software Downloads

I use different s/w on different kid

1) Use Avast and AVG 8 for antivirus
2) Use Commodo and Sygate for firewall
3) Use malware bytes, spy sweeper as well as rootkits
4) And the child's pc uses virgin media security s/w as that comes up parental control
5) Use CCleaner to tidy up PCs

all of these free (well except some of the spyware stuff in 3)

Where I get my stuff from is filehippo

Comodo is a good firewall, I use it on my XP machines, previously used sygate switched to Comodo when sygate was acquired by Symantec.
Not sure about the anti-virus capability of comodo though, I use Symantec corporate edition. I do use Comodo Bo-Clean Anti-Malware though...
