What is most protective Internet Security Suite program?

I am running AVG ISS with SpySweeper, all current versions, and they seem to protect me well. However, I heard that Karspesky Internet Security Suite is the most protective of all the top sellers. But, Karspesky, like Norton and others, will not run with SpySweeper installed, even if run in manual mode.

Do you think that I should continue with AVG ISS and Spysweeper or should I change to Karspersky ISS? Thanks.

    Kaspersky! Ditch SpySweeper and you will be happier. Kaspersky is one of the most thorough iss I have ever dealt with. Being this thorough has it good and bad points, but after you have gone through the configuration (could take an hour or more) you will be protected! You can download from their trial page here:

    Hope this helps!

    Many folks have good success with, & recommend Kasp’y, just remember, securing Windows operating systems from Internet assault is not a single application, or even a suite.
    It’s layers of protection, user habits, threat landscape awareness, system configuration, real time protection, and more.

    Generally speaking: as a system’s convenience, interactiveness & flexibility increase: security decreases.

    Sorry, but using Windows requires you to become a security expert, it’s that simple. Something they don’t tell you when you buy this system..

    Whatever ‘layers’ you decide on, add this to your counter-measures arsenal:
    “Sandboxie” (http://www.sandboxie.com/)
    runs your programs in an isolated space which prevents them from making permanent changes to other programs and data in your computer.
    Use it for:
    Secure Web Browsing: Running your Web browser under the protection of Sandboxie means that all malicious software downloaded by the browser is trapped in the sandbox and can be discarded trivially.

    Enhanced Privacy: Browsing history, cookies, and cached temporary files collected while Web browsing stay in the sandbox and don’t leak into Windows.

    Secure E-mail: Viruses and other malicious software that might be hiding in your email can’t break out of the sandbox and can’t infect your real system.
    Freeware.
    Not overly difficult to use. Don’t presume you can do just anything as it does have limits; listen to ‘Security Now’ #174 for more details (http://www.grc.com/securitynow.htm)

    Freeware.
    Not for 64 bit Vista platform.

    I have the best experience with these 2 programs

    Bitdefender Total Security

    ESET Smart Security

    I have both and use them in turn. not at the same time of course
    ESET did detect more infections than any other internet security programs did and also the firewall protects well, but nearly completely in the back ground.

    At the moment I have Bitdefender Total Security on my computer.
    I formated my computer last week and reinstalled Windows XP Home
    Until then I had ESET on my PC.

    If you would like great protection install Trend Micro Anti Virus and Webroot Spy Sweeper. This is a great combination and will give your computer excellent protection.
