Best AV/Firewall that I can really control?
Anyway I just reloading windows 7 so I'm seeing what else is out there.
I'm trying to find something very secure but that I can really control it.
I know there's lots of articles including this forum.
But I'm looking for something I can really get my hands into not a half a dozen settings.
And on that actually defends itself since the first thing this crap does now is kill the antivirus lol
I have been Zone alarm extreme which I've been really happy with.
Except for my system performance that is.
I especially like the "program control" feature and the advanced firewall controls.
Though they could improve on the AV settings some.
And why is their no allow option when restoring from quarantine?
I've tried... - mind you many of these were tried last year.
Mcafee - DELETED some of my files (which it falsely identified). Support told me that was normal behavior and I couldn't change it.
Vipre - too many pop-ups. And many once I approved an apps action, the app would then crash. I'd end up disabling vipre in order to run the program.
Norton - Junk
BitDefender - I think I might have tried this once but I don't recall.
can't remember the others...
Just looking for some opinions because the last time I tested it destroyed my OS the installing and uninstalling them all.
Thanks,
Kenny
