lurking dm.

I've had good luck with Avast Free.

I use an old version of Zone Alarm but I can't recommend newer versions
since I'm not familiar with them.

And I'm not sure about activeX control.

More people should come along with their suggestions and then you get to
make decisions tailored to your needs.

I use SeaMonkey as my web browser, mail and newsgroup software. I use IE
only when forced to.
