Does anyone know of a good virus protection suite that's free?

(Has to have Firewall, Spyware, and Virus protection)

So you want a suite? If you want it to be free and half decent I'd recommend getting individual tools for each task.

Why even install one?, just use online scanners and every so often, install one, update, scan, uninstall.

There's no complete free suite AFAIK.

I'd use a combo of "AVG free", "zonealarm" and "spybot search and destroy"

You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

I'd add to that with Ad-Aware.

I don't like Zone Alarm myself, Ashampoo firewall is alright, same with the old version of Kerio I have (doesn't let me hibernate though, now a biggie on a desktop)

I have Symantec too, and it works really well (it's by the same company but it's not Norton). It costs money however, and I only obtained the corporate edition because my dad has it at his work.
