What is the best free all-inclusive computer protection package?

With a great firewall, also antivirus and antispyware. thanks!|||Nothing like that exists, you need to get each one separately.





The best anti-virus is ESET NOD32 then Kaspersky. NOD32 is the only anti-virus that got an Advanced+ rating in tests conducted at http://www.av-comparatives.org/





The most popular free anti-virus programs (AVG and Avast) have poor detection rates (82.82%, 87.46% respectively). Norton is notoriously bloated and takes forever to perform full systems scans.





I only recommend buying NOD32 (advanced users) or Kaspersky. It has been proven these products are better than the best sellers (Norton and McAfee):

For your spyware protection, get Ad-Aware and Spybot and for your firewall get Comodo Firewall.|||you get what you pay for, Go to AOL and download free Mcafee virus scan plus, also run free Panda Nano Scan.|||My sisters thinks you can download it of the web.|||No I don't want a free vacation to cancun.|||I have never seen an all inclusive package, but here are the programs I use that are free





AntiVirus-


AVG Anti Virus





AntiSpyware-


Windows Defender by Microsoft


Ad-Aware by Lavasoft


(Could also get Spybot search and Destroy-never used it myself, but it comes highly recommended.)


I also use SpySweeper by Webroot, but it is 20 dollars a year (not bad for how good it is)





Firewall-


I use the Windows Firewall (I know, shame on me!). But I have heard that ZoneAlarm is very good.|||No such thing.





You can't get an all-in-one package for this type of thing. Usually when you get something like this they cut corners somewhere along the line.





But I do have a solution for you....have a look at the programs mentioned here:

These are all free applications and they work just as well or better then the commercial stuff. The big difference between the free and the commercial stuff is that the commercial will have better customer service (they will have support by phone). But I have never had a problem corresponding by e-mail or forums with the free applications.|||i don't think there is a FREE "all-inclusive computer protection package". you might be able to get free trials of such products at places like www.trendmicro.com but free trials can only do so much. if you really want your computer to be protected, you should just buy the full version of Trend Micro Internet Security 2007. actually, Trend Micro Internet Security was ranked number one in the latest issue (sept 2007) of Consumer Reports Magazine. As the magazine put it, the product "offers fairly inexpensive all-around protection". here's the complete list:





(1) Trend Micro ('PC-cillin') Internet Security 2007 (now referred to as "Trend Micro Internet Security 2007")





(2) Check Point ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 7.0





(3) McAfee Total Protection 2007





(4) McAfee Internet Security Suite 2007





(5) Microsoft Live OneCare





(6) BitDefender Internet Security 10
