    Re: Internet Security Packages

    I wasn't impressed with Kaspersky, FAR too many warning messages and it was a pain to configure the ports for WoW.

    I've been using Trend Micro's AV and Anti-spyware product and it's been fine, more than likely going to shift to the full internet security package

    Re: Internet Security Packages

    Kaspersky for me although 6.0 is quite annoying in vista. Perfect for XP though.

    I'm going to upgrade to 7 which I believe is better in vista.

    Used to, but it's now lite on resources. I believe the 2008 suite is an improvement in many parts over the 2007.

    It works because i've tried it but i just find the update feature isn't as good as it was in xp but that could have been fixed though now!

    Re: Internet Security Packages

    If you want an alternative. Avira's AntiVir works on Vista and Vista 64 bit, has a much smaller footprint, deals very well with virus and general malware (it actually detects and removes properly).

    Me too!
    I picked up your OEM one (anti-virus only as i dont like Security Suites) but the price and performance of this product is fantastic).

    Really?
    I ran version 6.0 for about 9 months and had no problems at all under Vista 64Bit.

    I am now on Version 7.0 and its great also.

    I hope its better than the previous versions then!
    I was a die-hard Mcafee fan but the last version that was any good at all was Version 7 Professional.

    Re: Internet Security Packages

    I use Norton Endpoint Protection (meant for small businesses, you make be eligible for a copy if your educational institution / work place permits). It's pretty much the same as Norton Antivirus + Internet Security, but its a bit slimmer so uses fewer resources.

    My experience with the older (pre-Vista) suite was that it was one of the most effective out there.

    I'm currently using PC-cillin, but it really annoys me at times & takes quite a bit of RAM to run.

    I really like NOD32 as an anti virus, I use it on all my non-main computers. It's very uninterruptive (if that's a word ), quick and simple.

    Not really sure about firewall, I've never really made my mind up on what's best. PC Tools Firewall seems to be pretty good, but the controls etc. aren't as good at the PC-cillin Firewall.

    I'll probably be sticking with PC-cillin 2007 until the license expires.
