gavin19 Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 neo I tried out over 10 diff firewalls and about the same antivirus apps too. I also tried out 95% of the all-in-one suites such as VCOM's system suite, Panda Internet security, System Mechanic, McAfee Internet Security etc etc. One piece of advice that was given a lot was to keep separate av and firewall programs, usually described as a layered approach. Most of the 'experts' agreed that this was the best strategy. As for exact software, its personal choice tbh. As i said I experimented with a lot of av/firewall combinations and all-in-ones, but it took me about 6 months to settle on what I wanted. If u do want the package av/firewall then I liked Panda Internet Security as it was neat, low cpu usage and updated itself sometimes 2-3 times daily, and also McAfees Internet Security package is very comprehensive and easy to use, but slighty heavier on cpu due to it being a larger package.

Sybarite Paladin AxL Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 I use Zonealarm, also used Murphy Shield but that screwed up my computer!! As for av I use bitdefender as it is one of the best(made in Romania two!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ugenn Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 No amount of software can fix insecure computing habits. This is because security is a set of best practices, not a product which you can install regardless of what the companies hawking "security" software say. For starters: - Don't use IE.- Don't click on untrusted attachments.- Don't install software indiscriminately.- Turn off all unwanted background services.
