Computer Security & Viruses/Firewall

Question
I have AVG free on my computer.  Does it contain a firewall, or do I need an independent firewall besides the AVG program?
Which are the best free firewall programs to down load?
Thank you.

Answer
Hi Martin,
The Internet Security version has a software Firewall.
The free AntiVirus does not have a software Firewall.
Are you using the MS Firewall?
I usually recommend a review site.
Heres the link.
