No
Thats a site you just log onto, click a button, and it tests various security issues on you pc for you. You don't download anything.
Do me a favour, one thing at a time, make sure your security is OK first.
Zone Alarm btw is not freeware, you have to pay for it.

Re: norton
Are you sure you don't have dial up connection as opposed to Broadband? Thats a long time for AVG to download.

Re: norton
Normally with a router you have a firewall. I guess the alternative is an internal modem if you don't have a small box connected to your pc about the size of a paperback book.
