I'm in the market for an all in one virus/firewall/spyware protection program. I was wondering if you guys had any good recommendations. Before I spend the money, I want to know that what I'm buying will work with Jaws. Thanks for your help.

pc cillin
I've worked with mcafee for 3 years, norton for 3 years, and now am working with trend micro. Of the above mentioned, pc cillin is by far the best.
The footprint is low, resource usage is low, thus will allow you to do more while scanning.
Norton is notorious for being quite intrucive and very annoying to remove.
Mcafee is also one to stay away.

I'd advise nod32, you can download a 30 day trial of there new security package. the main issue is that when installed most people find it inaccessible. if you hit f5 in the ctrl panel of the program, it becomes totally accessible. in my opinion their antivirus package alone is by far the best. the rest of it is quite a new package, but well worth looking at because even if not yet, it will soon outstrip any other inclusive package.

I allso recommend nod32 as an antivirus.
And as an firewall, I highly recommend sunbelt personal firewall, allso known as kerio perwsonal firewall. It's configuration needs little work to access (using windoweyes mouse), and when you select learning mode during installation (it'll ask you for every connection and running of application), it's totally accessible.
Found a annoing program with it, that nod32 didn't found.
