Beginner AV/Firewall suggestions.

Well, the PC I was trying to debug was replaced with a new one. My uncle, and aunt aren't PC savvy at all. I'd like to set them up with a good AV/Firewall. One that is REAL user friendly. His PC is running XP.

Again, Ill have to teach him how to allow/deny things and such, I'd just like to find something easy for him. His tower has Norton's installed. I was thinking of disabling that, and allowing AVG to run fulltime. I myself am running that, along with Zone Alarm Pro.

The m/c is a HP Pavillion, 3.0 P4, 512 DDR3200, 160GB HD, and is connected via DSL. Any and all suggestions are appreciated.

TIA.

 

I installed Avast anti-virus on 2 non-computer savy friends computer who were constantly getting virus'es. They were runniing commercial virus programs but they never seemed to up-date. Using Avast's auto update and install feature it has kept there machines free. About once a month, using Real Vnc I take control of there computers and run a full scan. So far no more trouble.
