TBH PC Guard is as much use as a concrete parachute and resource hungry. It does slow your system down and I found web pages a nightmare to load up.

The best free alternatives are :-

AVG and Avast for Virus pritection
Comodo, Ashampoo or zone alarms for free firewall, I have used all and found them excellent. You will also find the above mentioned a few times by other users, when asked about using PCGuard in other threads.

PCGUARD might be free and easy to use but for security go for the better alternatives, PCG is only provided by VM not produced by them. It's a way of saying we can legaly advertise we supply free virus and firewall protection.

Currently using AVAST and ASHAMPOO and both working fine and dandy.

Edited for a P.S It's better using it than without protection, so your choice.
