Firewall and Anti-virus Recommendations

NOD32 doesn't have a free version I don't think, but a year of coverage is about 25-30 dollars if you get an OEM from Newegg.

Hacking it is the way to go. Screw that pay shit. I found a code on a site which unlocked the program into a retail version that will last till the year 3000. LOL.

ZoneAlarm/PeerGuardian 2/AVG/ClamWin/AdAware

I only keep ZoneAlarm and PeerGuardian running though, and just run the others once a month or so. There's no reason to have stuff taking up resources if you're not constantly doing retarded crap on the interwebs.
