Hi all..

After hours of research and searchin multiple pages in this forum finally i settled for Avast Anti-Virus..

For a second thought i need a gud Firewall..Finally after the same steps i settled for Kaspersky..

Here cums the prob..

I tried to install Kaspersky and it shows Avast as a incompatible application..so i need to remove Avast in order to use Kaspersky..

Is it wise to remove Avast and install Kaspersky Anti-Virus and Firewall ??

I be on internet for a loooong time and i need a v.gud Anti-Virus and also do a lot of online shopping so need a v.gud firewall too..

Note - Also i am using Windows Defender.

Help needed techies !!

TIA

dreams, If you have Kaspersky Antivirus, remove avast!. Retain Windows Defender.

Saurav,
Yes. KIS comes with Firewall too.

Kaspersky is doing well in Antivirus segment. So I suggest to get Kaspersky Antivirus program and regarding firewall, you can get Zone Alarm Pro Firewall. It's a great firewall program.

btw, if the use is for personal, then I suggest not to invest penny for security protection.
For personal use, the following free package is a lethal pack:

Antivirus: Active Virus Shield (Uses Kaspersky engine and hourly updates)
Antispyware: Windows Defender and AVG Antispyware free version
Firewall: Comodo Firewall or Jetico firewall

You can find all these in the following thread:
Free Antivirus, Antispyware and Firewall Solutions for Windows®

Enjoy!

Forget about Kaspersky Anti-virus and firewall 2 software. Go and get "Kaspersky Internet Security Suite".

Comodo & Jetico are not Vista compatible yet.

Yes. They aren't compatible yet. I have checked in there forums, seems like Comodo is coming with Vista compatibility soon.

But dreams didn't mention that he has Vista!

I am asking about my use man. Anyway, downloading KIS right now, all I need is firewall, not even an AV, so I hope KIS has an option not to install anything else.
