I just resintalled my PC and i need to get an antivirus and firewall.
I'm a bit stuck with which to get, so i'm wondering which of these you have experience with and feel is the best to get.
Thanks for the help Smile

Happy New Year btw

be careful with Kaspersky though. I use it myself and it's one of the best AV appz around, but they blacklist warez keys daily, and when you update the virus database with a blacklisted key, they can and will trace our ip. got a mate who works for kaspersky, got a lifelong key from him Very Happy and there is a way around the updates Wink

lol, i still don't know why people say that.

i've been using norton since the 2000 version, and it never ever slow downed my pc or caused troubles. I guess those people can't configure or work with a pc correct. Rolling Eyes

I use Kaspersky with a warez key and never had trouble. And my IP changes a lot. It´s not fix.

The problem with the blacklisted key occurs only with the pro version of Kaspersky. The personal version works without problems. I think you also have to search for password for NOD32 in order to update properly. It is getting more and more difficult to use a warez antivirus software because we have to get updates from the internet, which makes it easy for the software companies to track the users that use warez.

Wouldn't using a keygen instead of just a regular serial fix all that?

My biggest hated security product is the Symantec/Norton range.

Does my nut in. In my experiance every pc that has had it running slows down to a point where it is noticeable (and I have tried the latest versions - and seen it slow down my clients computers etc...). Unless you have a high spec of a machine it's not worth it.

I dont really consider antivirus applications too important but I run NOD32 as I dont notice it running and it only bothers me when there is actually a virus detected. Sod all this activation bs they throw in with nav Very Happy

NOD32 is my antivirus and my router has it's own firewall but I have windows firewall enabled as well, and havnt had a single problem yet Very Happy

I use NOD32 as my anti-virus. I have only installed the trial, but somehow the counter fucked up and it's now at -50 days left and it updates perfectly, it has happened to two of my computers. Smile

As for a firewall I used to use IPCop, but the machine recently crashed and I haven't had time to take a look at it yet, so all I use now i the router. No other firewall-software is installed.
