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

i feel the same that norton does not kill and able to detect most of the viruses or worms....what is AVG Antivirus?

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

any problem when using panda? i heard from my friend that after installing panda, the PC becomes slow...is it true for u?

Panda+ McAfee Personal Firewall + Webroot Spysweeper smile.gif

looks like everyone have their own combination.. thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

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.. smile.gif
