Title: Best Virus Protection/Spyware/Firewall?
Post by: Jester2893 on July 05, 2008, 12:51:40 PM
Hey guys my free trial of Norton Anti-virus is almost out and I am wondering if I should renew my subscription for 60$. The 60$ software includes Virus,spyware and also Firewall. Is it worth the 60$ or is there something better? I was looking to get Spy sweeper for my spyware because I always here good things about and its been on all my computers. Now I am wondering since Spy sweeper makes an "all in one" software if I should just get that or should I buy just the spyware version and buy another program for Anti-virus and firewall?

What do you guys suggest?
Also whats a good "all in one" or just anti-virus?


Thanks guys!

I use Trend Micro PC-Cillian Internet Security.  It has everything from Firewall to all your spam/spyware filters.  You can schedule a virus scan at anytime, and it's pretty user friendly.  It's a "All in One" software, I think it cost me around $45.

No, you didn't get a virus from AVG.. You got it cuz' you were downloading teh porn!


I swear though, We ran AVG through out my company when I was working for an ISP. And any users that didn't have anti-virus on their pc that's what we loaded.  :thumbs:  I've been virus free for 3 years on AVG :clap:

:lol: . It was weird I downloaded it and then scanned and then it found a virus and didn't remove it?

Not sure though, maybe I will go with the 8.0 Avg that includes firewall and everything.

Yea. I honestly don't feel safe with the microsoft firewall so I rather pay a little to have firewall.

Thanks for the helps guys. I installed spybot and it seems to be work great.
