I guess I did know it was a firewall, and then I thought I had read something about it having a Kaspersky engine, so I figured it was now a free AV product instead of a free firewall product.
Let me know if something like this exists and it's light and I'll try it.

Avira is a really powerful free AV option, and if you tweak it a bit, it is ruthless. Avira Free is also extremely light. As you are surfing and multitasking, you will never know it is doing its thing in the background.
I need this combo to be light on the resources because the PC is pretty old. So the combo will be: Mamuto + Avira Free + Win 7 FW.
Is my logic correct here about Win 7 FW being the lightest because it's built-in?

That must be it.
What threw me is that ZA free is a firewall, while their premium paid offer has an AV with it, which I must have heard is the Kaspersky powered ZA item.
timnik: Not just light due to its built in environment but likely dealing without consumption issue thus running like a silent type + you may configure more from maximum security of Windows FW for effective results.
Can't say if they will conflict or not, but I used F-Secure IS on its own for several years (had a license from my university) and never had any problems with viruses. So using Mamutu is not necessary I reckon.

ZoneAlarm offers a totally free version called "ZoneAlarm Free Antivirus + Firewall". The only limitation is one auto update every 24 hours, however you can manually update it anytime.
Yes it uses Kaspersky AV engine and database but their own real-time protection features. But there is no reason to use it with Mamutu since it already has an excellent behavior blocker called "DefenseNet".
