Which is the best internet security software?

Question

I want to purchase one that is easy to use, reliable. Right now I have Nortons and I think its a pain in the @ss.

Answer 1

Hi there,

Simply put, I would avoid Norton and possibly even McAfee. They have amassed a huge reputation, yet their products are falling by the wayside over the last 2 years or so. Many malicious files are now getting through their defences.

Everyone also seems to rate AVG, Lavasot and Spybot highly - although I have a feeling this purely based on the fact they are free, AND NOT because of their protection skills (if you perform some quick research on security vendors and blocking of malware you will find all these score pretty much the lowest of all).

One Security suite I have been increasingly impressed with of late and would strongly recommend at least trialing, is a relatively new program called Prevx1. This is continuing to prove that they detect, protect and remove more malware (virii, spyware, adware, trojans, etc) than all other leading security vendors.

It also works in a completely new way to all other security programs. Instead of catching a virus, creating a fix (or signature) and then making that available for their userbase to download as an update - Prevx1 works in real-time. This means that if a new piece of malware is detected - a fix is created automatically and the entire userbase of Prevx1 users are then protected instantly - no need for downloads. Pretty cool in my opinion.

Lastly, Prevx1 is an All-in-one solution, meaning you no longer need 3 or 4 separate programs installed on your machine (which can also conflict and slow your PC down) to deal with each type of threat.

Answer 3

well nortons are really the best but the catch is that they keep updating and coming out with new security features and technology.
My opinion, is that you should at least get the newest version of norton and stick with it. I have norton 2005 and I still have it. I have the software update and it gives me protection piece by piece. So dont keep buying the new stuff everytime, there are downloadable updates you know.

Answer 4

I found this one last night and put it in my computer. It already stopped someone from hyjacking my computer this morning. Best of all for the moment it is free.
I agree with you on the pain in the @ss.
Just type 'Sygate Personal Firewall 5.6' into the search engine and you will find a list of places to download.

Answer 5

Zonealarm security suite is the best all-in-one suite.

Costs but is very good and does not slow your computer down as much as Norton, (every suite will slow down your comp a little)
