Default AV and firewall software compatibility with Me

Hi,
Read posts regarding problems with Norton AV software
and Win Me.
Have friend who has very basic computer skills. I need
to install AV and firewall apps (or combination app) for
him that will almost "run by themselves". Update prompts,
etc. I am going to automate as much as possible.
Friend's PC is an HP Pavilion.
Have seen references to nod32 working well with Win Me.
What is the actual name of the software? Is it only
antivirus? Where can I get it?
Any recommendations for good antivirus and firewall
software applications that work well with Me greatly
appreciated.
Thank you for your help.

Jane

Jane,

Grisoft Antivirus free edition
http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_dwnl_free.php

Zone Alarm firewall free download
http://www.zonelabs.com/store/conten...eeDownload.jsp

Also confirm that your Firewall is enabled in Internet Explorer/ Outlook
Express (If applicable)

There are others but any is better than none, and should cover most anything
that will likely be fired at you.

HTH and good luck

Mart
