TSGL: AVG

[The Computer Whisperer]

you dont need either... put Avast anti-virus on...

The windows firewall is sufficient protection these days unless you
have ports forewarded from your router, no 3rd party firewall is
required (just make sure your windows firewall is turned on)

Regards,

Justin
