Ok so heres my problem.

I cant make up my mind with Antivirus programs and Firewalls.

I've tried these all in one programs:

Zone Alarm Security Suite - This was a great program, although it was TOO good, it stopped MSN from sending things, no matter what settings changed etc. It took up too much system recources

McAfee Suite - This was one of the the best actually, I tried it again recently but the Ã‚Â©Ã‚Â®4Ã‚Â©K I had for it wasnt working right.

BitDefender - This is what I'm using at the minute, It doesnt tell me anything, I really dont think it's doing its job atall.....The scan also takes 3 mins, and finds nothing.

Norton - Self Explanitory

I've tried these singular programs: Kaspersky
Avant
AVG

I personally like the all in one programs, but I'm not too fussy.

Reccommendations?

Lavasoft Ad-Aware is one of the best antivirus programs out there, give me a second and I'll find you a link.

210 million downloads . http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Person...tml?tag=lst-0-6

Adaware has a firewall .

adaware is for spyware, not virus protection

AVAST on access scanners are great, and AVG fire wall

Panda Antivirus

And Kaspersky is good too, i'm using it at the moment and never had problems with viruses...

SOmetimes it even finds Trojans and email-worms that i created myself

I got Norton AntiVirus 06 and it works great, and the best thing about it is, My uncle gave me a copy so I didnt have to buy it

Then I guess your computer (as good as it might be) it's a piece of shit when used with Norton mine works great to tell ya the truth.

Maxwell · « **Reply #12 on:** August 21, 2006, 01:11:12 PM »

no, it did not find viruses, while AVAST or AVG found a few and some trojans when i infected my PC last

it just sits there

and if it is finding somthing then you have to get avg or avast and see how many they find

i might try this panda thing. or not. i havent had a virus or any problems in months

Panda is the worst AV program you ever can find.
Kaspersky and Norton Antivirus for the win.

I had mcaffee once... it added a virus to my computer which it couldn't find... ran norton and it found it and deleted it...

I recommend norton.
