    is kaspersky anti-virus and zone alarm pro a good combination for vista?

    if so can anyone recommend a firewall that is light on resources im experiencing a slight slow-down?

    A better combination would be NOD32 with Comodo Firewall Pro.

    Although it isn't as light on resources as NOD32.

    Although it's not too far off, it's not as light as NOD32.

    Be wary of Comodo, it caused slow shut downs for me :(
