I have been using Zone ALarm for years and found it to be the best package ever.. and Yes I know that there isn't a single product out there that is 100% full proof blocking.... But this package does use the Kaspersky Engine for AntiVirus and as far as I am concerned the Firewall is the best Software firewall for Home users. the antispyware is not the best but if your that worried about spyware just get a free background scanner to help stop most infections.
At work we scan all clients PC's with Bitdefender and 99% of the time it picks up stuff that other Anti Virus packages doesnt. Nothing is foolproof but from my exp its up there with the best.
was trialling ESET Smart Security but got Kaspersky Internet Security for R 99 because incredible connection were having a special in pe and have thus switched. Great program irrespective of the price has way more features than smart security but t ESET has not released its latest version yet so its apples to oranges.
i like the boot time scan on Avast but dont enjoy the fact that every time i Alt+Ctrl+Del under processes it and all its little mail scanner friends are the top mem users.
AVG i just got and found 46 viruses right now (still scanning)
and the majority of them look genuine as they keygens .dll's and i just found 3 .dll injectors (my brother) as well as some hacks for games
I want to try Kaspersky i used to have it i liked the feature that i could check all the ports and connections running. I prefer the pro feeling than these AV's that look as if they've been made for 3 year olds so i hope kaspersky is still the same.
I use avast home edition because it's free and I found it very effective to block spyware and to identify potential harmful files. What do you guys use?
