k so what are the top 3 antivirus or internet security in ua opinion ?

Avast, avast and avast and I am dead serious.

My security combo:

A. Avast
B. Comodo Firewall(with on demand sandbox).
C. Malwarebytes(on Demand)
D. Virus Total Uploader for suspicious files.

DO I NEED COMODO FIREWALL CONSIDERING I HAVE AVAST AND WINDOW FIREWALL BOTH WORKING ?? WHY TO USE MALWAREBYTE IF I HAS ANTIVIRUS PROGRAM RUNNING ?? & WHAT IS virus tool uploder ?

Windows firewall is a pain to configure on the fly, it takes literally forever to add rules, add applications, modify rule priorities etc, a 3rd party firewall is needed, at least I require it.

Virustotal uploader uploads a <20MB file to the net and scans it using all known avs: *www.virustotal.com/en/

Windows firewall is sufficient unless you do net banking. Reason for using malwarebytes is Avast is kind of weak in detecting malwares or spywares.

Bro i have avast firewall !! Is it good ??

I have ais so i cannt use comodo firewall so would u.recommend me to disable avast firewall or it is good enough ???

If you have AIS, keep using it. No need to go for Comodo then. Comodo at times can be slightly annoying or used to be.

MBAM free is good enough, run a scan once a week, and right click to scan downloaded files on demand when you feel it may be suspicious. Paid just adds realtime protection, it may conflict with avast.

Akil last question should i use comodo firewall or avast firewall is good ?

COMODO is for advanced users and not needed for most, avast firewall is good but I don't use it as I don't have a paid version, so I use COMODO, stick with avast.

Bro i want to update avast manually so i disabled it but then it says fix now ?? Is manual updating virus defination has any issue ???

Nope, but its recommended. Specially for Zero day threats that sometimes get an important update pushed and you need to be protected.

 

[gameranand]

Avast updates are really small. I mean even 2G connections can handle that.

@tkin: I am currently using Free Avast Antivirus+ MBAM , do you think I should upgrade to the paid version of Avast. BTW, your avatar(DP) is so soothing that it makes me feel sleepy
