McAfee and Norton are good services but they have fluctuating prices. They also like to send you non-stop popups when your subscription expires, especially McAfee.
AVG is a good antivirus program that is free. You can scan attachments and your computer for viruses. You can always upgrade for additional features but I have kept the free version now for a long time. It doesn't hog up a lot of room on my computer's hard drive either.
ZoneAlarm is a great and free firewall. After I uninstalled McAfee from my computer I needed a firewall immediately. ZoneAlarm keeps intruders, hackers, and unwanted websites out of your computer making it less likely that it will be hijacked. Anytime it doesn't recognize a connection, it will block it until you give it your authorization. ZoneAlarm keeps you in power!
