As for the Firewall, I would recommend Online Armor

Hi Avibky,
If you are not Satisfied with Avast Internet Security then you can give BitDefender a Try
But my Personal Experience with BitDefender was not good. High on Resources.
if you find yourself Comfortable with BitDefender then stay with it
Comodo Firewall will be good

Bitdefender is a very good antivirus but it is true that it uses high system resources.
Avast is light on the system but i still think that you should try Bitdefender antivirus ones.
I have also used it and it is really very effective.
My firewall suggestion are Zone alarm ,Agnitum Outpost or Online Armor.
i am thinking for an Online armor premium license giveaway by me(win here on AVI's Birthday).
Can someone help me in Organizing this as i haven't hold any giveaway before anywhere.
Thanks in advance.

Well, if we have someone who uses Bitdefender IS they would have tell you rightly, but unfortunately most of us don't use it. So...... Why don't you try it and tell us if its good or not?
