I have Kaspersky 8 and its not so good... But i left with no choice as i buy it... BTW some of my friends tell me that Norton is good....

KIS2009 FTW.............no questions asked.

avast! Zindabad

 

[ironfreak]

what about Quick heal ?

 

[rhitwick]

Can't tell abt it.

KIS rocks!!!

 

[red_devil]

Kaspersky FTW !!

just check out what type of software you want ... Kaspersky Anti Virus or Kaspersky Internet security...

IMO, Kaspersky Internet security should be the best option !

well my budget is arnd 1k.. actually thats credit i've with the guy... but jusy wanna know- is the full security suit of any is really required ? right now i can only think of anti-virus nd anti-spy.... the extra features in full suit is really required for home use ?

 

[rhitwick]

it totally depends on ur usage.
U r not explaining wat do u men by HOME USE. As soon as ur PC is connected to internet, u r open to all those virus, trojan, worms etc.

If only mails, orkut and NO warez site is ur primary motto. Go for a free solution.
AVG8+Komodo Firewall would do ur job without spending any money.

i mainly want anti-virus, anti-spy and good firewall... but im also going to start online stock trading.... so for this purpose is it good to buy the whole suit i guess.. i mean for in general online banking (eg. paypal, i may use it in future) its good to go for the full suit right ?

how is Quick Heal Total Security 2008 ?

 

[techking_dinesh]

kaspersky total security 2008 is best

 

[y2j826]

why to purchase antivirus when you have many free options available, go for avast and use comodo free firewall it will work fine to protect your PC

 

[satyamy]

One for all, All for One

The Cheap and Best

Kaspersky Internet Security

 

[IronManForever]

Why would onw want to purchase an antivirus?

Use Avira Antivir + Comodo Personal Firewall + Lavasoft antispyware.

 

[comp@ddict]

Get KIS

3 PC license is for about Rs. 600 only nowadays!

 

[ironfreak]

yea but there must be some difference in free and paid.. companies aren't fools.. some charge money, some shoot for free..... how is Quick Heal Total Security 2008 ?

 

[zyberboy]

^Not good,kav has best protection,light on resources,fast scan

 

[Indyan]

My opinion : Quick Heal is total crap. Norton 09 isnt bad, but it automatically gets rid of anything it thinks is a virus. That drives me nuts. My choice would be Kaspersky.

Anyway, all AV related discusisons should go here.
