If you are thinking paid is better than free, than you are wrong. Cause I am one of those people using the free version and I am still protected. Here are my security setup up.

avast Free v6
Online Armor free v5
Sandboxie free (One of the first thing I install when format)
Malwarebytes
Eset Online Scanner
Panda USB Vaccine Portable
Winpatrol free
Neo's Safekeys (protection against keylogger)
Lastpass
ClearCloud DNS

Browser :
-Firefox with WOT, ad blocker plus
-Google Chrome with WOT, ad blocker
-Updated Java and flash


I don't believe in paying for security after finding out that my free combo works as great as paid suites or even better. If you really want to fork out money, I will suggest KIS 2011 3 user license. Heck even you can get kaspersky for free. How?
Read what I wrote here.

And there is no such thing as best antivirus. The best thing is the user is educated. Security software can only protect you so far. The rest is up to the user. If a user is click happy, there is no pint of having the world's best antivirus. Take Mac user for example. They are ignorant that their Mac is completely bulletproof, hence, a lot of them got infected with Mac Defender rogue.

AVG is still lousy. Not worth it.

How sure are you your computer is virus free? Submit that particular file to avira and see. Maybe is a false positive, maybe is not. They will tell you whether that file is malicious or not. That is one thing good about their virus lab.

Submit here.

Those are not antivirus la. Let me list it down again.

avast Free v6 (antivirus)
Online Armor free v5 (firewall)
Sandboxie free (virtualisation)
Malwarebytes (on-demand scanner. In case something slip past)
Eset Online Scanner (on-demand scanner)
Panda USB Vaccine Portable (protection against USB virus. But my avast can take care of it anyway)
Winpatrol free (monitor any startup program. You can even disable them from starting up, delay them)
Neo's Safekeys (virtual keyboard - protection against keylogger)
Lastpass (Password manager - protection against keylogger and phishing sites)
ClearCloud DNS (filter out dangerous websites, phishing website)

Hope that is clear enough.
AVG I still don't trust. Until AV comparatives and Wilders forum people start giving it good grades, I will stay clear of it. AVG cannot even clean a virus inside the pendrive last time I tried it.

Wait for the next one. According to Wilders forum, Kaspersky 2012 is very light when compare to 2011. Detection rate also increase. It is like they are back on track.

Nope. Not me. Never kena before. If got avast caught it. if avast didn't stop it, my clearcloud dns does the job. If that doesn't work, my sandboxie does the final job. Refer to my security setup. I help my friend to clean their pendrive as well. Sometimes, sengaja go and find virus to submit to avast virus lab.

My friend from Canada told me, never ever run a suite. Because all suite got weak points. So if you have a suite, the malware attack say the parental control section, your whole entire defence just go kaboom like that. His professor show to the class a test on all the suites weakness. How he compromise one section of the security suite, the entire suite collapse using his own coded program which the suites in mention didn't even detect it. He didn't even turnoff the self defense of the suites. You name it, Kaspersky, Norton, ESET, Bitdefender etc. He tried all. All also same result. But of course using different coded programs for each suites.
