My uncle is getting connected to NTL tomrrow all going well

His pc doesn't have any antivirus or security software on it at the moment (was no need becuase it wasnt connected to the outside world at all)

Now i was going to go for the following to secure it

Aol active shield (Becuase its bascily Kav rebranded)
and either comodo firewall or Zone alarm

At first i was going to go for comodo but im wandering if za would be more user friendly.

Also looked at netguard but as they are only getting the 1mbit (or is it 2mbit now?) it wouldn't include the firewall...

My other worry is bogging the pc down to much the spec is as follows

althon xp 1600+
256mb pc 133 ram
10gb + 4gb hdd
its running winxp sp2

so if anyone has better suggetions please let me know.
