Recommened firewall and antivirus for Windows Xp sp2

[umbra]

Hi ,
 
 I have a security question , i used avast 5.0 and online armour firewall last version of it.

 When both programs are running after a while, 10 minutes lets say, i could not connect to Internet , my Internet connection is stopped and Win32 svc host error occurs. After i reboot uninstall Online Armour firewall the system is running ok.

 I believe that using last version of security software may be an issue for old Win Xp sp2 operating system.   

 I just want to ask, which are in your opinion best security recommended tools for Win xp sp2.

Thanks

Online Armour is actually one of the best but it might not be agreeing with your computer. You could try asking in their forums if they know of a solution. http://support.tallemu.com/vbforum/

Or try another firewall.

Remember only install ONE firewall

1) Online Armor
2) Agnitum Outpost
3) PC Tools Firewall Plus
4) Comodo Personal Firewall (Uncheck during installation "Install Comodo HopSurf..", Ask.com search provider" and "Make Comodo HopSurf.com Search my homepage"

Are you sure that the windows firewall has been disabled? That may cause some confliction if both firewalls are enabled at the same time.
