    I used to use NIS myself but I wanted more control over my Firewall. I strongly recommend Norton.
    Did you try the firewall with Automatic Program Control off and Advanced Events Monitoring on?

    Probably missed the feature. Besides, COMODO is free.

    Food for thought


    If your PC picks up a virus, whose fault is it?

    Mu two bobs worth


    Well can't go past KIS for paid for - well config'd it's set and forget never had a problem in almost two years and I just think the online banking set up and safe run are the ducks guts!

    For freebies - Comodo the nearest thing I've seen to KIS as long as you get rid of the Geek kid stuff - mind you you can stop him in autoruns and msconfig > start or delete it.

    I've been using Avast and Malwarebytes for years. If there is something that Avast can't remove, Malwarebytes gets it. I always recommend MBAM to my friends if they ever get a really bad infection and so far it's always managed to clean up their systems without trouble at all.

    Despite it being free, it's really a wonderful little tool to have even if you already have a native antivirus. Or you can just put it on a thumb drive. :)

    NOD32 Antivirus


    ESET NOD32 Antivirus offers a month free protection or a year protection for $30.

    All my systems stick to ESET NOD32 or any of ESET's security software.

    I know lots of you use AVG or avast! but when you have the chance get NOD32.

    I preffer NOD32 and have had no other antivirus ever.

    I have been using Microsoft Security Essentials so far and I can say it's very good indeed. I haven't been facing many problems since the time I have installed it. I could recommend it to anyone. The best part about it is that it is free and updated regularly.

    Lol i'm using an old PC what I can say is

    Avira slows down the start-up of the computer
    Norton Internet Security is the best ! but :S it gives me DPC Latency spikes while surfing
    Kasperksy just sucks bad detection (and a huge resource hog)
    Avast good ! the code emulation is slowing down programs so if you turn that off it's a great AV and i'm using this one ATM
    And :s Microsoft Security Essentials sucks constant 30% CPU and it blocks on me when it try's to remove a virus

    Now everone has its own choice :)
