For me, i just want to save the trouble.

Prior using the KIS, i have to,

periodically visit my friend,

plug out the hard disk from my laptop,

let him scan using paid version anti malware while chit-chatting with him,

plug back the hdd into the laptop. doh.gif

That is my histroy for a person who concern about the computer security, but unwilling to pay RM 33 per year because at that time it represents xx% of my monthly allowance. shakehead.gif

When i got my laptop in 2007, i only know about scanning the incoming media like USB pen drive. Until my friend explain the need of the internet threats and manage my own laptop's security properly, only then i willing to pay for the KIS.  sweat.gif

I say KIS is sufficient for me for primary use. For those who perfer other AV, i say internet security is sufficient. Some AV comes with the total protection features that can only perform better than the disk cleanup. I prefer use the tuneup trial. it is best for me in term for maintaining the computer.

+1 on scanning USB pen drive.. and for goat sake, disable autoruns and autoplay(for vista and above). more than half of my customer got virus from USB drive via autorun. It is not that difficult to explore a USB drive and double click on the file you want, but it takes few hours to clean pc infected with Virut or Ramnit virus.

Free Internet Security Suites?

Try Comodo:

Before installing Security Suites, install any AV/Suites that you have. Coz IS suites tend to crash with each other.

The thing I like about Comodo is they are relatively strong in term of HIPS protection. However it will need more technical knowledge to configure though.
