Never rely on one product for full security. It's the best combo that makes the lethal security. Avira AntiVir + Webroot Antispyware + ZoneAlarm Firewall is working best for me.

If thats the case, why not use KAV+Spysweeper+ZA Firewall.... Nothing beats this combination, right?

ZA and KAV are not compatible. But you can use NOD32, spysweeper and ZA firewall. if you instal ZASS and Webroot there will be problems as you go on, specially if you have real time protection of spysweeper on.

^offtopic
does anyone of you use hardware firewall? any comments on its usefulness and availability?

Who said ZA and KAV are not compatible. I used ZA+KAV+Spy Sweeper for about two years and never faced any problem, may that be in terms of compatibility or security. Its just that this combination turns out to be very heavy on system and so I thought of turning towards a Security Suite...

I think he is talking about the compatibility of KAV7 and ZoneAlarm Firewall. KAV7 is incompatible with a lot of other softwares.

its KAV 6 or 7 with ZA version 7. KAV 7 works fine with upto ZA 6 series (definitely 6.5.x)

KAV 6 with ZA 6
KAV 6 with ZA 7
KAV 7 with ZA 6
KAV 7 with ZA 7

I have tried all these combinations and all are absolutely compatible.

why r u putting this enjoy at the end of ur posts.do u mean that ENJOY with viruses

 

[go4saket]

Just installed KAV+ZA Pro. Do I need a separate Anti-Spyware software or will the inbuilt Anti-Spyware in both the above softwares do the needful. The only problem is after installing these both, by system has become reasonably slow. Is there a way to improve the performance???

nod 32 for me. works like a pro.....

It has the most features compared to any of the Internet Security even Kaspersky but it is a Resource Hog.

I use McAfee Virus Scan Plus. Been using it for two years now. Its good, only problem is it consumes a little more RAM As I have one GB RAM (I think most PCs do now) I have no problems.

I want to know who the hell voted for McAfee Internet Security......

It is completely crap and better stay away from it. It can't even detect common viruses and bloats your system like anything.

Edit: Sorry for being rude. My personal experience has been very pathetic with McAfee.

And please note I am a licensed user. If you use licensed and fully patched Windows, and updated the scan engine and signatures of McAfee regularly, and still had problems, then you are justified in your complaint.

@NucleusKore
My school had McAfee 2006. It didn't even use to detect common worms like Brontok and the school computers used to crawl. But I agree that it wasn't updated. The school computers had 256MB RAM. Other AVs like Kaspersky & NOD32 perfectly work in 256MB RAM. NOD32 even rocks in 128MB RAM.

As far as McAfee 2007 was concerned, it used to bloat my computer like anything when I had tried it for a week. Anyways, I am using fully licensed NOD32 which is a lakh times better than McAfee. I don't know much about the new version 2008. I even have 1GB of RAM.

IMHO, I had never thought that NOD32 will be so good as I had never heard about the name of the company ESET. But when I tried, I was completely blown and tried and bought it. Biggies like Norton and McAfee are good for nothing.

Also, licensed and pirated Windows doesn't make much difference. But I agree that the updates make a lot of difference.

Eset Smart Security da best.

I have in the past used norton, mcafee. I am currently using trend micro internet security suite pro 2008 and kaspersky on my laptop.

Mr gagandeep have you even tried trend micro before calling it a resource Hog - i am using in on my P3 600 - and its works like magic.

Its know, that kaspersky has always received the best reviews - but my own experiences isnt a happy one - a friend of mine had used kaspersky antivirus on his high end PC; +vista ultimate - and when he tired trend micro Internet security suite 2007, after uninstalling kaspersky - trend micro detected about 4 spywares in the system volume!!

That was not all - Kaspersky took two+ hours, while trend micro completed in 20min for a full scan ( vista ultimate; 2Gb ram ) - am bit surprised how everyone places kaspersky in such high glory!

Ive been using trend micro since about a year or more - i havnt encountered any problems what so ever - i am also using lavasoft's ad-aware + ad-watch on my P3 - so far it hasnt detected any problems at all.

And so i would give trend micro a prefect 10. Its about time people try as many antivirus before jumping the gun.

This is going to answer you once and for all....... The best answer you can get from me.......... Yes, I've tried Trend Micro........

Friend, should I also post the photo of the BOX of the software??? If you want, I can surely post........

Also, Trend Micro was the first company to provide 3 user licenses at the cost of just one.......

Its about time people try as many antivirus before jumping the gun.

Yes, and thats what I've done..............

As soon as I removed Trend Micro, the Add Remove Programs which used to take 10 minutes to open, started opening in a flash. My computer used to take a lot lot lot of time to boot, after uninstallation, it started to boot quickly........ Also, as far as Virus detection was concerned it was decent and I was happy with Trend Micro. The only reason because of which I uninstalled it was because it was a Resource Hog for me........

Also, please don't think that guys here blindly post their opinions without even trying softwares.
