Best Internet Security Suite

welshsteve

Hi everyone. I'm currently in the market for a new Internet Security Suite.

At the moment I'm leaning towards Kaspersky 7.0, as I had a 6 month trial of version 6.0 and found it very very good. But others I'm looking at are AVG and ZoneAlarm. Are there any others you'd recommend looking at? I DO NOT want to buy Norton, as in the past I have found it so intrusive on your system.

I personally always use AVG + ZoneAlarm because they're free and not that bad, but ZoneAlarm sometimes blocks things that are on the Allow list, so for some programs I have to shut it off. ZoneAlarm also seems to block my internet connection now and then, so I would prefer an other firewall. I also use Microsoft Windows Defender as spyware scanner. Now and then I scan my computer with ClamAV from a Linux Live CD, to be certain that the virus database has not been infected.

Firewall doesn't really matter that much if port forwarding is off in your router, but a virus scanner is much more important! Also make sure to update your computer frequently.
