Default Antivirus / Firewall Helpiau.

Ok, so AVG have cottoned on to my internet mis-use... So i've decided to change my internet security.

I am currently re-downloading AVG Free and Sygate Personal Firewall to get my back into legal software territory. I am however concerned that this may not be the best combo?

So, could you guys recommend me the best / most reliable / your favorite Anti-Virus and Firewall combo?

(Just moved from cracked AVG Pro AV/Firewall combo)

THANKS

Err Bump?

I'm now looking for a sound Firewall, preferably free of charge, that isn't Sygate...

Any suggestions?

If you have a router + XP firewall than don't worry about it.
