Reccomendation for Antivirus & Internet Security
Hi all,

I'm looking for suggestions as to what to buy for antivirus and internet security. My current antivirus and internet security programs are ending and I want to get a few suggestions of what is good.

I've been looking at Kapersky and Ad-Aware, can anyone tell me which I should go for?

I use Kaspersky Internet Security 2009. I am very satisifed with it, no major threat has ever got into my pc since the time i installed KIS2009. It maybe a bit overprotective at times.

Forgot to add in, it even detects vulnerabilities in your computer and gives suggestions to patch up those loopholes so that there can be no attacks by means of vulnerablities.

For free version use AVIRA
For paid version use Kaspersky's Total Internet Security
