Go for AVG or Norton.

Windows XP comes with its own firewall.  Download Service Pack 2 from Microsoft if you haven't already, and that will make your firewall even better.\n\nAs a reminder, your new PC probably came with a 90 day version of AntiVirus software as well.  After the 90 days is up, you'll need to upgrade or uninstall that too.\n\nUnless you feel like paying for antivirus, my suggestion is to get Awil's Avast 4.6 Home Edition.\nhttp://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html\nIt's free.  The only thing you have to do is register it, and provide some info.  The license lasts for 13 months, but as soon as it expires, you just re-register and they give you a new license.  I've had it for years.\n\n**Note** Never install new antivirus software before completely uninstalling the old one or system may lock up!

Better to use AVG or Avast. Both are free and don't hog resources like McAfee and Norton.

I've been in this business for many years, answering this question for over 15 years. Just antivirus software alone will help no-one.\n\nProtecting from spyware and protecting your IP address are needed first, and that means you'd want to purchase a firewall, antispyware, and antivirus software.\n\nBuying an internet security suite combines all three programs and lowers your price.\n\nYou want free? Try Zone Alarm (free version of firewall), Adaware (free spyware software), and Avast (free antivirus software). This is a great free combo.\n\nIf you want to pay for the best Suite, I would purchase Zone Alarm Suite. Thats the best (better than ANY free solution because it cryptically checks files for authenticity, something freebies do not do) and easiest to use, in my opinion. Norton is huge and inneffective. Mcafee misses too much. Zone Alarm is VERY LIGHT on system resources.  Good luck!

Zone Alarm is the best free firewall.  The only hard part about it is finding the free link on Zonelab's website.  I believe it to be better than Microsoft's firewall.  The reason being is you have more control over it.  Now Microsoft's One Care is the best software for the price.  Generally it is on sell somewhere for $29.99 and you can get a low price guarantee just about anywhere.  One Care is only good for broadband users, people with legal copies of Windows XP, and best bang for the buck can be installed on 3 PC's.  PC-Cillin Security Suite would be my alternative for people without broadband.  I just focused on the firewall aspect of these products and price.  I believe in not spending outrageous amounts of money on PC protection.  All PC protection is only 80% effective no matter what the software people may say.  I would try AVG Free Ant-Virus for viruses and they make an anti-spyware.

AVG does not have its own firewall. (not that I know of)\nIf she is on a budget and has XP - xp has a built in firewall.

AVG Ant-Virus\n\nFree updates etc.  Does NOT use a lot of your RAM!\n\nI've been using it for over 3 years, NO PROBLEMS!  It even scans incoming and outgoing mail!\n\nLook it up in any search engine, there's great reviews about it!\n\n:)

Zone alarm is a good firewall, they have a basic free version which blocks as much as the professional version but doesn't provide support.\n\nAVG Antivirus is a good free antivirus software.

Zone alarm & AVG are both free & very good. Plus if you happen to be running an incompatible firewall with your mcafee that can also cause problems.

Norton wants to make sure that no programs are running that can harm your computer but in the process it overprotects your computer is some spots and underprotects in others.  If you prefer not using Norton there are good alternitives.  http://www.avast.com or http://www.aol.com/security  Either website offers good free antivirus options.  However, they don't offer a firewall.  But you can download a good free one from.  http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/home2.jsp
