This computer came with Norton Internet Security on it, which includes Norton Antivirus and Personal Firewall. The trial subscription ran out and I'm sick of the nag messages, so what's a good free antivirus program and a good free firewall?

If you buy Norton System Works at Best Buy, you can upgrade every year for free with the rebates. I bought NSW 2002 and haven't bought another version since.

I haven't bought anything except the computer. It came preinstalled with this Norton stuff which if you ask me really isn't all that great. Especially since a lot of it's redundant with stuff built into XP SP2.
