PaulT Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 [quote user="Ecossais"]15 Security Suites are reviewed in the March 2009 issue of PC Pro (UK) magazine.Their “A List” product is Avira Premium Security Suite at £40 for 3 PCs and is summarised as “A simple, efficient and affordable package that delivers good protection across the board”.BullGuard Internet Security 8.5 at £45 for 1 PC is granted “Recommended” status.Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 at £50 for 3 PCs which was their previous “A List” product is described as a “strong contender”…..[/quote]Will admit that I run Kaspersky and I do not feel totally 100% confidence in it. Does not autoupdate and I cannot find a setting for this. Plus, not very informative about certain things so as to aid decision making.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briwy Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Kaspersky is excellent.I got mine about 6 months ago, £26 for 3 machines. Look around online for deals. Paid with a credit card and 15 minutes later it was up and running.No problems with it updating, it does it about three times a day on my machine if left on.It will check incoming AND outgoing emails automatically and generally checks files I download.Together with Zone Alarm (free) so far Ive never had a problem and looking in the log files it seems to have been quite busy.I agree about Norton, totally messed a couple of my machines up.

splishsplash Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Over the years, I have tried loads of anti virus providers,both free & paid for. I always had virus problems, slow running, crashes, you name it. Two years ago, I got a local guy to build me a new system, & he installed ESET security. I think it cost around 46 euros for a year, I upgraded it last time & it was 65 euros, & the best I ever spent. I have not had one problem for the past two years, I run the virus checker once a month, but there are never any problems found & I would never change this security software now.It has saved me a fortune in pc repairs!

Philouis Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Avast is the best anti-virus that I ever had, and I have tried quite a few! Get onboard. It is all free! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnOther Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 [quote user="Philouis"]Avast is the best anti-virus that I ever had, and I have tried quite a few![/quote]Interested to know your definition of 'best' and how you arrive at your conclusion.What method did you use to evaluate it against other products I wonder and which products did you test against ?Absolutely nothing against Avast BTW, just curious to know what's prompted such a glowing recommendation [;-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
