Today I have downloaded AVG Anti Virus through a site. It is Free. Is this trust worthy?
I have downloaded AVG anti-virus through a site. Will this software function like Norton Anti Virus and Firewall? Can I use this permanently in my computer?

you well have to uninstall norton anti virus software and firewall but you can used zonalarm at www.zonelabs.com and then get the free edition you can only run one antivirus software and one firewall at a time.
I trust it 100%

AVG is a good free anti virus. Program but you will need other protection too.. Go to www.download.com and also get spybot search and destroy. Then look for a free firewall too. I like ZoneAlarm. It runs itself...then go to www.lavasoft.com and get Ad_awareSE personal. Download them and then update them. AVG can be set up to update and run its self but you'll have to do the other two manually. Just click search for updates.. In Spybot after you download updates click on immunize on the main Spybot page and there may be a window that pops up saying so many things have been blocked or can be blocked.. If it does then click immunize at the top this loads the definitions.

YEs, it is one of the most trusted Anti-virus software right now. I would trust an AVG Anti-virus on my PC more than I would Norton. Norton downloads its own viruses during software updates that cant be Quarantined. I use it myself and have been for years!

It is not a firewall, and cannot replace a firewall. The Windows firewall should meet your basic needs, but if you need something more sophisticated, I'd recommend one from the website listed below.
However, as an anti-virus program, it's one of the best out there, and in my experience has a higher detection rate than Notron's software. You can - and should - use it permanently.
