NOD32

Here's a good site to compare the top AV software.

Trend - you can get a trial at www.antivirus.com

Dont trust a software firewall. Get a Cisco Pix if you are serious, or a Linksys if you cheap and still want to be safe

www.avast.com for antivirus

I use AVG free version since 1 year without any problems

yeah AVG is nice.. :)

http://www.free-av.com - freeware

Tomud

nod32 for antivirus......configuring your router/modem for firewall

ZoneAlarm, hands down and no disputes should be your personal firewall.

If you won't go hardware, which is certainly better. At the very least you could get a NAT.

Nod 32 - without a doubt!

wait.. they saying Nortion is 2nd best??? And from PC-World magazine??

AVG. Do a quick review and 80% of web says AVG. Norton Anti-virus is a virus of itself since it embedds into system so badly, that it's impossible to uninstall.

Nod32 so far.

Anti Virus : Mcafee
Firewall : BlackIce or the firewall from the router and no32 it's also a good option :thumbsup
I hope this will help :)

From hackers forum, I think they should know best.

When hit with a real shit list.

Kaspersky - caught and blocked the most.

Norton caused the most false alarms and failed to warn of injection attempts

AVG missed 10% of trojans and failed to report dangerous activity.


Winner Kaspersky for having the sharpest activity detection and pattern updates.

Kaspersky or Nod32

Kaspersky works great for me

avg and http://www.clarkconnect.com/

Kapersky & F-Secure

AV: www.bitdefender.com

Still like Norton but always good to find ranomd free trials now and again.

ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 7.0 ... good shit

I use kaspersky Anti Virus. I use sunbelt Kerio firewall software. The only reason why I use this is that I can see which programs want to gain access to the internet...

I also have a linksys router with some firewall protction

nod 32 has decent protection and does not bog down your machine.

Kaspersky for AV. Their firewall on the other hand isn't as simple as it used to be, and now it's a real pain in the ass to use.

I'm trying to figure out what the best software firewall is.

This site http://www.matousec.com/projects/win...ts-results.php ranks them based on leak tests.

Comodo and Jetico got the convincing wins.

I recommend http://www.pandasoftware.com

I love my AVG anti virus. For firewall I just use the one in my billion router.

Eset NOD32 and Zone Alarm.
