Has anyone used this? Is it any good?

I never even heard of it.
How much does it cost? Does it come with the firewall thingy included or is it just an anti-virus program?

I for one would love it (and would be more than willing to pay for it) if someone would come out with a good all-in-one Antivirus, firewall, and spyware destroyer that would be easy to set up all in one shot and could be maintained through a single menu.

Zone Alarm also has offers free online spyware protection. Of course, I find it amusing that it won't run on non-IE browsers because it requires ActiveX to take over your computer. Hilarious.

Haven't tried the A/V software.

I use the firewall. It does what I need it to do.

I just bought ZoneAlarm Security Suite for home. It had a couple of different rebates that brought it down to $10 on black friday.

It has AV, spyware, firewall, cache cleaner, popup blocker, and other options I haven't explored. Of course, I can't updated my virus scanner, but you'll have to read my other thread to find out about that.
