Hi I came to think that the anti-virus that I'm currently using,AVG Free,does not come with enough protection.So I want to use another anti-virus software..
Is Kaspersky Internet Security good and reliable?If I choose this,I must uninstall AVG first before installing this right?

Instead on buying or going kaspersky trial, try Avira or Avast 5 (free one), or even MSE.... smaller download size.... @TiF, a good place to start is http://www.av-comparatives.org ... for others, ask unker Gugel....

I've been using it on some of my pc for n-years and not a time my pc was infected by virus/malware.

Ah I see,thanks. But I plan to get a antivirus that needs to be paid,between Kaspersky Internet Security and ESET NOD32,which is better?Or recommend others if you think it's gud.

Either one is good or Norton 2010 is also good choice  Either of it,all have good,complete and competitive protection.

Better go for Avast! 5 Free ..  File/Web/Mail/IM/P2P/Network/Behavorial Shield  Pair it up with the built in Windows Vista/7 Firewall it would be like an Internet Security oredi  BTW, there's no perfect AV/IS .. So you may keep MalwareBytes Anti Malware in your PC to scan ur system once a month/if you feel ur PC infected just in case the AV/IS missed anything.. It doesn't provide real-time protection so won't consume any resource. This post has been edited by Eugene91: May 20 2010, 10:42 PM

Hi Prasys, not entirely true if you check the Feb 2010 FP report. http://www.av-comparatives.org/images/stor...report25_fp.pdfAvira has superb detection with lower FP now. Avira successfully lowered their FP this year. GOOD JOB!   Source: http://www.av-comparatives.org/images/stor...vc_report25.pdf
