Internet security suites have weaknesses of CPU usage, multiple processes, undeveloped areas such as McAfee all in one protection 12-in-1 firewall is not good, or one part fails and everything fails or give annoying continous alerts, however ISS' are still useful, as they provide decent protection, but not as independantly, but together.
I find trolls, distinctantly, annoying, as I try to help others, they extinguish it with thumbs down, they can have it if they want it, pathethic and illiterate.

the the main suitable option 3 loose AV courses are Avast, Avira, and AVG (based upon the end results of dissimilar self sustaining attempting out labs). i at present reviewed the scores of countless self sustaining attempting out labs and located that Kaspersky and BitDefender are the two the main suitable option paid AV courses with those 2 swapping returned and forth interior the the main suitable option 2 slots on the different attempting out labs. it is to no longer say that they have been significantly extra powerful than some others, like Norton's. often, the the main suitable option names are all interior 2 or 3 proportion factors interior the attempting out consequences.

If you need an anti-virus plus firewall and anti-spyware, I suggest you get ZoneAlarm Security Suite. It's the bomb. It stops everything.
If it comes down to money, just download AVG free edition. It's just as good as anything else. (If you're just a regular pc user... obviously if you're a business owner, you might have to look into some high-end stuff.)

Avast! Anti-virus
5/5 stars everywhere. I have use this after I tried AVG and it picked up 13 trojans that Norton, AVG, and Mcafee missed, Kaspersky just couldn't get rid of them.
I have been using this anti-virus god for 7yrs and it tackles any tough problem.

I use AVG Anti-virus for free, available here:
http://free.grisoft.com/doc/2/
I've used it for years without any trouble.
It's small, but effective & doesn't consume every available resource like some others I could mention.

I use the free version of Avast. It works well for me, for about two years now.
