what could be the best anivirus and firewall?

[obemon]

None of the above.

The best anti-virus is the user itself. These anti-virus/spyware/firewall utilities can only do so much. If that user is still willing to click YES on a pop-up just to get free emoticons in return or willing to open an email attachment hoping it was nude pictures of Maria Sharapova... then everything else fails.

cHoLoCoY: If you setup nod32 properly, it want be hard to get a virus.
I have nod32, Lock'nStop, peerguardian 2 and processguard and until now, no virus, trojan or rootkit, all was blocked properly.
In the wilderssecurity forum (the official nod32 support forum), there are very good seetings for nod32 which prevent almost any infection.

Think about it ths way: If you wear a bullet proofed jacked and go into the warzone, it may protect you a long time, until somebody just shoot you in your head. Know what I mean? If you visit sites which hosts malware and so on, you increase your chance to get infected very much.
NO antivirus scanner, NO firewall, NO antispyware is 100% in detection, consider this.
