I have spent the last few days looking for the best antivirus and firewall. I wanted an antivirus with a high detection rate and light on resources. Also, a solid firewall.
I used to have Norton Internet Security 2005 antispyware edition, but it was a resource hog and caused my comp to freeze up sometimes. So, I just uninstalled it. For the next two weeks, I tried ZoneAlarm Security Suite because it recieved good reviews. However, it had taken quite a while to load at the taskbar when booting and the antivirus was said to have poor/low detection rates. Some of the most recomended/popular antivirus programs that I found were: - AVG - AntiVir - Kaspersky - NOD32 - Avast Some of the most recomended/popular firewalls that I found were: - Kerio - ZoneAlarm Pro - Sygate Which Antivirus and Firewall would you recomend? |

The best defense is not getting spyware or viruses in the first place.
But it's always best to be prepared. Spybot, AVG for me. |

I have McAfee but it kinda blows balls.
My friends you Kaspersky and say it's good, though. |

I'm not sure of the "best" one.
But Norton has to be the worst. |

None of the antivirus/firewalls listed above are nor even "good", the one and only with the best engine and best ways to protect you in anykind of problem/issue's is the McAfee , is has all tools in the same engine,
AntiVirus - VirusScan AntiHacker - Personal Firewall Plus AntiAbuse - Privacy Services AntiSpam - SpamKiller the one and only, The Best. PS:All antiviruses/firewalls are GOOD if you know how to use them and if you know how to setup them for your own Operating Sistem. |
