Avast Antivirus Question....?ducati

Does it protect against viruses? Yes.

Does it have a built in firewall? No.

Does it protect against spyware? Minimally.

How about adware? Minimally.

If not... is there any all-in-one program up for download? The only free all in one program I've tried is Blink Personal Edition,

but based on my experience with it, I would not recommend it.

My recommendations for freeware applications are:

firewall: (listed in order of preference)

Comodo (http://www.comodo.com ), or

PC Tools (http://www.pctools.com/firewall )

Comodo recently released version 3.0 of its firewall, which adds an intrusion prevention component that's very effective, though it does take time for it to learn your system, and requires some ongoing attention by the user to make sure programs don't get improperly blocked. Comodo is one of the strongest firewalls available, freeware or commercial, according to the independent testing site matousec.com.
