Is there a free firewall + antivirus for Win7?

[Quill]

New version of CIS is out:

Free Firewall - Download the Best Firewall Protection and Anti-Virus Scan Software from Comodo

Still not recognised by Security Centre but works very well.

Personally, I just use the firewall component of CIS as i don't like the AV or D+. I also use spybot and Prevx 3.0. I don't find the need for a AV and haven't done so for several years.

I'm using Windows Firewall with admin right (forced to start on boot), avast! and PC Tools Firewall Plus....all work fine together so far, no conflict.

AVG Free edition and COMODO work just fine here !

Did you have to install it in "compatibility mode" or use the "run as admin" mode? Are you using the latest version 5? TIA

I went ahead and installed PC Tools Firewall Plus and it appears to work just fine. Thanks for the tip! I wonder why this isn't more generally known?

What does the Vista Firewall Control do? I downloaded it, but I don't want to install until I know what it does.

Or I did not know it? LOL

EDIT:
Oh sorry it is not free.

Looks like 32 bit only. Look here:

PC Tools - Free Download Anti Spyware, Antivirus, Firewall, Internet Security, Registry, Disk Repair software

It enables you to allow/block outgoing connections for applications. It's similar to Zonealarm application control. VFC is a good addition to the Windows firewall.

Even if an anti-virus is only created in 32-bit, it still works fine on a 64-bit operating system.

Also I use Microsoft Security Essentials (Morro).

Its anti-malware + anti-virus

I just tried it and I had no idea how to use it. Some help please?

I'm a long time Comodo user, but it appears that the firewall has problems running in Win7, does anyone know of a firewall+AV bundle for Win7? Or at least just a firewall.

Cheers

Why do you not just use Win7Firewall.

avast Home edition seems to be popular, it's what I use on 7 x64, seems to run without fail, though I never really entertained the idea of using the Windows firewall... I had always thought that there was a reason a firewall was included with most security suites.. but I think I might give it a shot.
