No need to be confused. For the majority of home users, free anti-virus and firewall programmes will work just fine and, best of all, they're free, gratis and without cost:D You can disappear up your own rear end worrying about it. Just make sure you have a well-regarded programme that updates regularly and is free and your computer will be fine.
My vote still is with AVG for anti-virus and Zone Alarm for a firewall. I've been using both for some time now -must be years. never had a problem, the computer works fine and they are free. What more can you want?

Savapoint are selling the OEM version of Norton Internet Security 2006 (complete with certificate of authenticity unlike most Ebay sellers) for £24.99. There's a £5 off a £10 spend code floating around which brings the delivered cost to £19.99, plus if you go through Quidco you get £1.50 cashback - effectively £18.49 in total.
I've just installed this to replace AVG and Zone Alarm - which work perfectly well, but I think Symantec respond quicker to provide protection against new threats. For the same reason, I decided not to install the free F-Secure package offered by Barclays.0 -
