Can anyone suggest the best antivirus, with firewall and spyware?
2007-07-18 08:04:18 · 18 answers · asked by Anonymous in Computers & Internet ➔ Security
AVG Antivirus
Comodo Personal Firewall
Microsoft Windows Defender
Use one product per defence system. No suite will be perfect at all three, they tend to be great at one line of defence, but lack in others.
Use separate software for your needs. My recommendations are above.

Zone alarm is the best anti virus software because the main reason behind this is that a firewall is also in this software
and if a virus enter into our computer it can detect it and heal it as soon as possible. I prefer it because i am also using it on my personal computer and from last year i am continuously using this software. At large extent this software help us from hackers and spy ware. Some settings are necessary before using it which is quite important.

^ Idiots.
ANTI-VIRUS:
'Kaspersky' has the best detection rate for infections, I us it and it has cleaned several problems that Nortan and AVG hae missed.
FIREWALL:
'ZoneAlarm' offers a great firewall. It is free. And unlike COMODO, it does not paster the hell out of you as it can remember options you have chosen. I have tried both in the past! ZoneAlarm IS the best.
ANTI-SPYWARE:
You need to have at least 2 different apps as they all have different scanners and definitions for the infections. Use the 2 below:
LAVASOFT, AD-AWARE SE
SPYBOY, SEARCH AND DESTROY!
These rock. =P
I used a bittorrent to get Kaspersky for free *cough* WWW.BITLORD.COM and used the option that said 'NO SPYWARE!!' on a Kaspersky - torrent search. Download and install. ALL FREE =]
http://www.bitlord.com KASPERSKY(look above)
http://www.zonealarm.com
http://www.lavasoft.com
http://www.spybot.info
This IS the best. Trust me. the people who go on about AVG being the best product is 'cos it is free, so they dont care about the low detection rate.

AVG anti-virus and spyware is excellent and free. Zonealarm is also an excellent firewall.

you will get told a load of different software packages, free and ones that cost. deep down you have to decide as they all have a fault in them somewhere along the way. go to a site like www.cnet.com and read the write-ups on the software out there. good luck

Hi there, I use AVG.. I have found it is better than all the expensive ones out there. I use the free one, but you can upgrade and purchase AVG for an even better software, but I have not had any problems with my AVG...
