Best Internet Security Suite of 2008???

[go4saket]

Hi guys!

I know this topic has been discussed many a times before but things keep changing. So wanted to refresh it...

So, which company do you think leads in the Internet Security Suite run.

I know ZASS is in the fav. list of many. To all those who use this suite, just a word of warning. Agreed that this package has the best Firewall but is down in other fields. I know it has joined hands with KAV and include Kaspersky Signatures but unfortunately the Anti-Virus engine is bad. The same can be said for Anti-Spyware.

My personal Experience: I had ZASS in one computer and Nod32 in another, both connected through LAN. My Nod32 PC showed 17 virus in ZASS PC. So I did a full system scan in my ZASS PC but I was surprised to see no infections. Then I installed a Keylogger which was again not dedected by ZASS. After this I uninstalled ZASS and installed KAV6 & Webroot SpySweeper in the same PC. Wonder what? KAV caught all those virus that Nod32 warned and Spysweeper caught the Keylogger.

Now decide it for yourself how good ZASS is?

All I can say is ZASS is BAD...

I am using NOD32 + COMODO........
I would say to Never use avast and AVG, because they miss a lot of viruses.

If asked the best AntiVirus from me, I'll say NOD32.

[utsav]

Avast is now losing effectiveness.it is not able to detect viruses

[iNFiNiTE]

+1 for KIS. I use it in both of my systems.

[skghosh44]

I have not any internet security suites installed in my system, so no idea.

Then stop spamming...

I tried Bitdefender today. Interface, AV & Firewall seems to be quite good. Updates are very fast but Anti-Spyware seems to be some what weak (as per a few reviews I read) although it did catch the Keylogger I had installed. It does slow down the computer.

Will try KIS today. I did try it some time back and the firewall isnt very user friendly, as to what I remember. How about system performance. Does this also impact the system performance quite a lot?

^^ Kaspersky is light on resources as compared to other Internet Security Suites.

[Charan]

+1 KIS
I had ZA installed previously ( 2 years ago)

[The_Devil_Himself]

i would say if you got $$$ the go for nod32 or KIS but in free department avast still rules(its boot-time scanning is just what your PC needs every once in a fortnight).Updates are too just about 50-100kb per day.

[blackpearl]

^^ Among freewares I would say Antivir is better than avast.

I want to know who the hell voted for McAfee Internet Security......

It is completely crap and better stay away from it. It can't even detect common viruses and bloats your system like anything.

Edit: Sorry for being rude. My personal experience has been very pathetic with McAfee.

[varunprabhakar]

+1 for KIS. light on system resources and very effective

[The Conqueror]

+1 for K.I.S.

Excellent security and very light on resources

man u r saying this so happily as if it is a gfx card

[casanova]

KIS and ESET smart security are the front runners. Voted for KIS here.

+ 1 .. even I was sick of that crap, my laptop came "pre installed" with that crap .

[pratik03]

+1 for Kaspersky Internet Security

I am using it for last 3 months & no single infection yet.

[satyamy]

I support only Kaspersky Internet Security

[koolbluez]

So... any1 supporting Bitdefender.... is it detectin the max viruses... those small ones.. like xmss.exe.... iexpl...
I need a definite conclusion for 2008.... kaspersky or bitdefender?

[techtronic]

I see many replies from Digitians using KIS.
Are all of you using original ?

I do fel Bitdefender is pretty good in AV and Firewall. Interface is very user friendly...

Can anyone please help me in configuring KIS 7, specially the Firewall...

[Cerebral Assasin]

I have got ESET Smart Security, so i voted for others.

ESET Smart Security's AntiVirus detection is better than to that of KIS but the Firewall is too basic. And many other advance features are missing which are present in KIS.

Not a very simple one here. If you use KIS, firewall is not as good as ZASS. If you use ZASS, AV and A-Spy are not as good as KIS. So take your pick. Ideally use ZASS + Webroot.

[go4saket]

If thats the case, why not use KAV+Spysweeper+ZA Firewall.... Nothing beats this combination, right?

I don't know whether KAV is compatible with ZA Firewall but it isn't compatible with COMODO Firewall Pro. KAV is uncompatible with a number of security software and thats the Negative point of KAV.

COMODO Firewall Pro is better than ZoneAlarm Free.

And as far AntiVirus protection is concerned NOD32 is surely better than KAV. It has the best detection and Heurisitcs and is also compatible with other applications unlike KAV. Also NOD32 is faster in scanning and is even lighter than KAV.
