What is the best internet security suite on the market?

I don’t see any reason to use anything besides Windows’ built-in firewall and AVG Free for antivirus. If you’re the sort that clicks every link that gets sent to you or downloads software without checking that it’s from a safe source, then no security suite will help you. If you practice safe computing practices, then there’s no reason to spend money on a suite.

Why not “roll ya own” Internet Security Suite for free. Free is always the best.

1. For your Anti-Virus……(Always use only 1 A-V)

For your anti-virus needs, I would suggest Avira AntiVir® PersonalEdition Classic. It has excellent heuristics, a virus detection rate that is better than many of “paid-for” anti-virus programs and is light on using your computer’s resources. And did I mention that it’s free!

BTW, Avoid the free, version of an anti-virus called AVG, it is wildly popular, but it has horrible virus detection capibilities.

2. For your Firewall……….(Always use only 1 firewall)

An excellent free firewall is Comodo Personal Firewall. It can pass firewall “leak tests” that even most of the “paid-for” firewalls cannot pass.

And Comodo has a great support forum. Where the CEO / President of the company might even himself answer your question! Check it out at:

3. For your Anti-Adware and Anti-Spyware needs……………(use 2)

Pick and choose, 2 anti-spywares from the list below and alternate scanning with them on a regular basis. New spywares are created literally hourly, so no single anti-spyware can really detect all malware. Have at least 2 on hand and alternate scanning with each every few days or so. All are free. All can remove as well as detect.

Unfortunately, many “paid for” anti-spyware products are in fact either of limited usefulness or downright scams. When in doubt, look at the list of rogue anti-spyware solutions listed here:
