ZoneAlarm is a firewall, not an Antivirus :illogical

As for the results, they kinda confirm my suspicions (re: Nortons)

Jen: do you wanna let this poll run? If you want, you can lock the poll :)
Sorry I set it to unlimited, maybe not a good idea.

ZoneAlarm has a version that includes an anti-virus but it is not free. Mind you, not all the AVs in the poll are free either so it could have been included.

Sorry I set it to unlimited, maybe not a good idea.I've closed it for you. Most people haven't been setting the number of days the poll is to run either. This is behind all those poll threads making a random re-appearance when someone finds an old one and then decides to vote on it. I've been closing those when I see them now. I've also been adding a close out date (between 3-4 weeks) on any recently created polls I've spotted that have been left as open-ended which I think is reasonable. :)

It has a very good AntiVirus, AntiSpyware and Firewall all in one:)
It does cost £s but I have found it worth every penny.
It's the full package.:thumbs:

The Cleaner
Ewido
AVG Free
Avast Free
NOD

Only NOD found 2 virii (W32/Rukap.BS Trojan & W32/Trojandownloader.Small.NNV Trojan) on my system.

Total heads-up to NOD!
