Thanks for your thoughts.
AVG has a combination product that has both Anti-virus and firewall. It is not free. I've just had 2 subscriptions to NSW expire and so I dumped it for the AVG combo. I now how AVG firewall/AV running on 4 computers and am very pleased with it. I found the NSW was incredibly bloated and rather cumbersome to use.
