Best Virus Protection/Spyware/Firewall?

[Jester2893]

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.    I've been virus free for 3 years on AVG

. 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.

I believe the one WITH firewall you have to pay for.

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.

Krandall do you have any problems with the resident shield in avg free? Mine keeps saying its not active then Ill mess with settings and it will says its active then like a minute or two later it says its not active again.

[Krandall]

[Jester2893]
