Title: Good Protection Software.
Post by: squall_01 on August 10, 2008, 09:33:28 AM: I need some good stuff that can help protect my system, since theres a lack in security. I need a virus scanner,pop up blocker an firewall. I dont like avg virus scann an avast has been used till the end of its trial. But I need to have a firewall on my 2k machines since they dont have any.
