Best Internet Security Suite?
Hi there,

I want to know what's the best Internet Security Suite.

I need a best security solution which includes Antivirus, Anti Spyware and Firewall.

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards

Although I personally hate these kinds of programs (they do more damage to the computer than the virus, as they slow it down - just my opinion!), my father runs Kaspersky on his machine. In my opinion, it's the best.

Kaspersky seems very popular as well in general. Avoid Norton like the plague - that really is a performance killer, and from my experience it misses a lot of stuff (I recommended my father to get Kaspersky and get rid of norton). NOD32 is also worth a look into, although I'm not sure that comes with a firewall.

But yeah, Kaspersky is the best in my opinion. Just up the "scan level" to high otherwise it misses stuff (I was getting fed up of Kaspersky as it wasn't finding a virus I knew was on the machine - until I upped the setting). Kaspersky isn't too much of a performance hog either (you'll notice it, but it won't make your computer unusable like norton does). Read reviews on the net and you'll find Kaspersky is the most popular.

Everything that I have heard about says that the newer version of Norton isn't nearly as bad on resource usage,but I still won't use it because of the reputation.It is good, but slow.
I also don't do the Suite deal. I prefer programs that are dedicated to one job only. Seems to be best for me.
But,like everything else, as many that are on the market,you will get just as many different answers.
Best just to find one (or combination of seperates) that suit your needs and stick with them.
But that is just my thoughts on the matter,for what it's worth.

Generally, all-in-one programs don't work as well as a single program dedicated to one function. For maximum protection I'd highly recommend using different anti-spywares, anti-viruses, firewalls, anti-rootkits etc.

I can recommend my personal battery of security software if you'd like; but if you want a suite I've been recommended NOD32 and Kaspersky. McAfee was given to me free by my old ISP (Comcast), and it worked just fine, too, though it didn't always detect everything AntiVir did.

Avoid Norton. I have a lot of horror stories with Norton.
