Post by: FUNKED1 on December 14, 2003, 05:47:33 PM

I'm looking for free/open stuff but will pay if needed.
What are good tools for:
Antivirus (McAfee + Norton = bloatware errr porkware)
Software Firewall (Zone Alarm hates AH)
HDD Image (like Ghost but not so #@#$@# expensive)

Hiya's,

As for hd image no idea
