In the past I have used free downlaods for anti virus and fireqall.  Last few years have had Norton and am not happy with it.

What freeware would any comptr xprts recommend?  I used Avast before  - is that still good enough.

Norton is the spawn of the devil himself !

I use AVG and its served me OK thus far.

My son, who knows a lot more than me (he installs and maintains his work's network as part of his role) recommended I should check out Avast Anti-virus and ZoneAlarm firewall when my current McAfee subscription runs out.

Avast home is the best free av imho, best paid is NOD32.

AVG really slowed down my laptop. I use Avira.
