My ISP (Adelphia Cable) is offering a free virus scan (Freedom Anti-Virus) and Firewall (Freedom Firewall). I am not familiar with either of these products and would like some info before I use them. I currently am running AVG Anti Virus with Zone Alarm Firewall, Adaware, & Spyware Blaster. Can anyone let me know if Freedom is a reliable product and if it’s worth the switch? Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm no expert, but sounds to me like you have great programs already. All of them come highly recommended. You may want to look into installing Spybot- Search and Destroy too. It is a good idea to have more than one spyware program. Since what one doesn't catch the other may. Besides if it aint broke why fix it?

I have never used it before I use syagate firewall,webroot,spyware blaster,spyware guard,norton aint virus, avg anti virus and I think thats it. Anyways Try to do a google search and read some reviews. It might help you in your decision.

I would suggest you stick with what you have; both are proven products and you know how to use them.
Cheers,
