Well don't think Avast downloads so many updates. I had updated after 5 days and all it downloaded was around 1.8 mb, which I don't think is much :wink:

Avira updates are also small - less than a MB if you update it daily.

@topgear which Antispyware app should I get

Spybot S&D, SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition, SpywareBlaster and MalwareBytes AntiMalware are few god such apps - use any of these.

^^ at times it may miss. and if it didn't update you get a notification. click there to update it.

as for antispyware, Emsisoft Antimalware is a nice product. fast scanning with excellent detection rate but no protection module on free version.

I used ZoneAlarm Firewall for a long time, but switched to Comodo Firewall, because ZoneAlarm slowed down the Windows Explorer. But, i find ZoneAlarm better, based on usability and protection both. Now i want to switch back, but that same damn problem!!! Windows Explorer slowed down!!
I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.
Any solutions?? :/

So I've decided to purchase an Internet Secutiy for my laptop. Which one should I go for keeping in mind that I spend substantial amount of time online and also do Internet Banking and shopping.
Kaspersky?,Bit Defender?,Norton?

Kaspersky Internet security. ESET Smart Security is also a good alternative, if you don't want to be bugged every now and then like KIS.

^^ I think BitDefender is god - it gets high rating in many foreign tech mags and review sites as well - you can try it and tell us your experience with it ;-)
