Panda Antivirus Platinum is the better bet
it has a built-in firewall plus a lot more features
that's what panda antivirus titanium is lacking of
and i've tried titanium, platinum and internet security but the best is still platinum
titanium the name sounds nice, but it has actually less features than platinum

norton not so good. only its updates function is better. currently using AVG Antivirus. no problem. Kaspersky also not bad.

panda is good in this case also
just buy it and register it or crack it(ahem) and then u can forget about the updates. Panda offers daily updates and it'll automatically updates when it detects an internet connection without needing the user to manually do the update

IMHO, i've tried all of the above and still panda is the best
and AVG is the least effective in killing viruses and trojans

combination of AVG + Sygate Personal Firewall Pro + Ad-ware SE Pro is very good for me. BT doesnt work with ZA for me.

Nowaday you need the most efficient security tools to protect yourself from being attack by malicous codes, viruses, worms, spywares and etc I am trying to combine the most efficient security defense tools such as anti-virus programs, personal firewall and anti-spyware for my PC protection. Another tool u may consider is the IDS such as ISS BlackICE..
