What is a good all in one internet security package?
I have been using zone alarm extreme security for the last 2 yrs and if im honest i think it is terrible, had my comp hacked, constant errors etc. I am looking to go with a different company can you give me any advice? Commodo internet security looks interesting…
Thanks for your replies, but i have heard countless times that AVG is just plain awful and i have had bit defender before and had nothing but trouble.
I am partial to AVG Anti-Virus and Norton
Throw your zone alarm in the garbage, get Bit defender internet security, cheap and effective (VERY effective, google top 10 best antiviruses and realize)
Microsoft Security Essentials is a good free one. But if you’re looking for something paid, try Kaspersky. Personally I don’t think you need paid anti virus.
Antivirus/Anti-malware: Microsoft Security Essentials.
Reason: Lightweight, runs in background, VERY good detection rates for viruses, file scanner built in
Firewall: Windows firewall
Others may disagree, but seeing as most routers now have built-in firewalls, you don’t really need anything above Windows firewall.
Overall Cost: 0.00
I would vouch by AvanQuest’s System Utilites.
McAfee sucks so much, that I had to mention it here. I recently bought it and down into the drain went 59.99. And then I returned to my faithful AvanQuest System Utilities.
If you are always attached to a router and not directly to the modem then I would recommend Microsoft Security Essentials, it’s FREE. Go to: http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials
I love free.
All the software on my PC is free, except Games and my OS.
Oh yea, Zone Alarm sucks.
Remember, no matter what anti virus u have it’s not going to change ur surfing/PC habits. Thats where u get viruses now-a-days most of the time. Opening bad emails and going to the wrong web sites.
the best is ZeroBank.com it will encrypt your entire computer and transmit your data over their secure severs it’s not free they offer a non-encrypted free service but it’s though the onion network and does not encrypt your data and is slow…
Norton Internet Security. I’ve had nothing but great things with this program. Macfee is a little on the cheaper side but it also comes with less protection. I haven’t heard of a perfect security program but ever since I have had norton nothing has gotten through and damaged my computer. I used to get hacked all the time but now thats over with for the moment.
If you’re interested in more of a freeware standpoint check out this website: http://cypherpunk.webs.com/ Its still being constructed but it already has some good freeware downloads for security. Only down side is you have to become a member, but its just your standard message board not a scheme thing that shares your info with other parties.
