Internet Security?

[wibble111]

Evening all, can anyone recommend a decent internet security suite, i dont mind having to pay for one but obviously a free one would be a bonus. I've been using AVG pro which was acquired from dubious source and now the licence has been blocked.

Cheers, Dave.

Comodo internet security suite, free and has all the bits you could need

I use AVG at home, and use Mozilla Firefox as my browser. At work, I have NOD32 which is very good, but you need to pay for that.

Forget paying suites, I now use Microsoft Security Essentials, works well & best of all its Free.

AVG has its quirks like updating is one & sometimes has issues, but so far MS hasnt faulted once & I advise my clients to use it tbh as I always test any new suite to see its worth.

MS doesnt hug memory/cpu & tbh the install routine & space is so easy/minimal you'll forget its even running, its caught a number of issues out & no infections etc so far.

I've got the MS one. I used to public test it too, was always good and doesnt bog down windows like the others do. I had kapersky when i was on the W7 public beta and it was getting very sluggish. Recommend MS security essentials. http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/

For rootkits/trojans: http://www.sophos.com/products/free-tools/sophos-anti-rootkit.html

For spyware/spybots: http://www.safer-networking.org/index2.html

Both programs are free.

Avg Free with the other two programs installed gives pretty much the same level of protection as Avg Pro.

Nod32 is good as well but not free...

Kaspersky is good, i have run this for 2 years and i've been very happy with it. £17 from tesco's i think - cheaper than the official website.

In the past i have used:
NOD32 - Good
AVG - Rubbish
Mcafee - ok, but not to my liking.
Trend - Good
