And yet more free anti-virus and firewall software!

Now no-one can ever say they can't afford anti-virus or firewall software! Along with Avast, AVG and ZoneAlarm, here's more free options, courtesy of Melinda Meahan:

For virus protection, there is Antivir.

And for firewalls, there is also Agnitum Outpost, which I decided on after going through various freeware firewalls, as well as Kerio Personal Firewall, which a lot of people on alt.comp.freeware like but it kept crashing my computer. Kerio Personal Firewall can be found thru PricelessWare, the repository for listings of favorite freeware programs of all types recommended by the participants of the alt.comp.freeware newsgroup.

Thanks, Melinda!
