Answer 1

You want the best you've got to pay for it. All these freebies are all well and good but they really don't give a monkey's because they get paid whether you get infected or not. Proved time and time again on here, by I've got this, I got that. Well if it was doing it's job properly you wouldn't get it, would you?

If you pay for one at least they have a moral obligation to get it right. I pay for one and I have had nothing on mine for eight years, because it does it all. I don't need this, this, this and this. One program, one complete job.

Answer 2

Can't go wrong with ZoneAlarm

Answer 3

agree with Matt.. Kapsersky's the best.

Answer 4

Whoever did that review with Norton at the top must be paid by Norton, its the worst piece of c**p I have seen , we rate having Norton worst than having a virus.

Kaspersky is ok, Panda also good, but each has their good/bad points.

Hi Matt,

It's difficult to find an all in one suite that provides excellent protection against all things.

I use Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 and Spybot - Search & Destroy, both are very good programs and working together with windows defender aswell makes it a very secure system (not 100%!)

I use Vista Home Premium, you didn't specify which you use, and i find that when installing new software, Kaspersky takes a long time to allow it through to make registry changes etc., i also find the notification pop ups irritating as it lets you know when it allows safe files (Nice to know it's doing the job i guess!).

Spybot is also a good free anti-spyware utility; nothing really bad to report with that, user friendly, light, fast, and actually finds and removes nearly all spyware infections.

I haven't ventured into free-standing firewalls yet as i don't think i need to, Kaspersky & Vista firewalls do the job perfectly for me!I have heard a lot of good things about ZoneAlarm though

Hope this helps

P.S. Look on ebay for cheap product codes to Kaspersky

Answer 7

To be honest ive used most anti viruses and firewalls

speaking to a friend who works for part of microsoft he recommended i used kapsersky anti-virus and zonealarm pro firewall since then i have had no hackers or viruses i highly recommend this

Answer 8

I always thought windows live one care is the best and it has a 90 day free trail, but after like 70 days it gets annoying and I just unistalled it. But it gets all the viruses and everything away so you want need an anti-virus program any more anyways. It also has tune-up and a good firewall!
