I use Trend Micro PC-Cillin Internet Security. Extremely goo and has a decent Anti-Virus program in it as well.

I use AVG Anti-Virus plus Firewall edition, the only downside of it really is the cost. :<

I use the free AVG anti-virus, and XP SP2's own firewall. That way I don't have to pay for AV, and the firewall is built into the OS.

Use XP's own, it does the job and uses hardly any process memory.

I suppose that is a good idea but isn't the built in firewall in XP SP2 supposed to be really crap? This is just what I have heard and only use that firewall if I have to.

The firewall in SP1 was crap. In SP2 it's much better.

yes tbh if your tech savy and know not to open dodgy looking files or think that the file your looking for is amazingly small in size and its an .exe/.pif or other extension that doesn't look familiar to you then don't open it. that's your Anti virus sorted out.

and the firewall in SP2 is quite good, not very user friendly (bearing in mind the average PC user doesn't know how to browse the programs folder) but it does the job.

I use zonealarm but i really liked avg antivirus and firewall when i was a tester for it :)

Outpost: I use it is is very good and lets you know about anything that is going on and gives you full control. Atm it is using 15mb so not that smalll but you might want to try it.
