Best Internet Security Suite

What's the best Internet Security Suite?


Thank you.

 

kis or nis 2007
they come real close.

 

i was gonna say the same
avira suite has good potential thou
panda 2007 is meant to be good as well.

So, for this year whos the winner? Panda or KIS? I hate Symantec and Norton.

 

Don't know. Nobody, does in the sense of KNOWING! BTW best does not exist, just like a point in time doesn't

You will get lots of opinions, bias, advocates, defenders of the package they represent, references to magazine articles etc etc. So you need to answer a simple to ask but difficult to answer question:

What are the criteria you have in mind for selecting the "best" from among the suites available?

When you have that list for your setup then you can begin to select one.

My bias is don't do it. Use a mix and match approach. But to start the ball for you:

1) must have a H/W FW or good router up front even on a single PC
2) Must have In/Out software FW
3) Must have one of the top 5 AV products as part of suite
4) Must have a top flight ASW product
5) Must be updated rapidly (hours) for outbreaks
6) Must deal with memory and rootkits as well
7) Must have solid on line vendor support
Must not clash with your other on demand security software
9) Must be easy to install

Other stuff like email scanning are secondary

 

well since kis7.0 will be out very soon i would have to say kis7.0
but for most improved has to be panda. panda used to be a bloated mess but now its meant to be very light very well done panda

As mentioned in another thread, Panda appears to be in the process of releasing a detection upgrade to their anti-virus/suites. Panda is calling it "MegaDetection". How much of an improvement (if any) to their malware detection remains to be seen.

 

so what shall i go with KIS 6.0 or 7.0? i dont know which one to pick !

 

well kis7.0 is only in beta atm.
so go for kis6.0 for now and you will get a free upgrade for kis6.0 once the final version comes out.

I was just gonna trial Panda, take a sniff. then ill look at KIS, then buy maybe. ill keep you posted.

 

I use NIS 2007 and It offers me exactly what I need..

 

epsept extra ram rofl? you'll need it? symantec/norton should offer another 4 GB of RAM when installing there products, saw that myself.

or has nis changed?

 

nis2007 is lighter than the older versions but it still wouldnt be on my system
and is meant to be easier to uninstall to with less mess in the registry.

just installing Panda Internet Security 2007.

 

can you post some sreenies please?
i did brefly install it upstairs but didnt really check it out to much.
lodore

 

thats a joke coming from Norton/Symantec anyway, Panda looks great so far, just gonna download a few viruses and spyware and malware. see how good it is . interface looks great. installer flawless.

 

wow you faster than me at replying
i know it was a joke and the older versions of norton where real dogs.
i still laugh at rhe crutial vending machine adverts tellling you vista using to much ram and you need to buy more
lodore

 

hehe yeah rofl Norton does suck though, you gotta admit. ill try getting you some Screenies and do some tests with Panda. My favourites are Kaspersky Internet security and Panda *with the details*

 

yes norton does suck.
who ever thought that yellow was a good colour for the interface and icon?
lodore

 

right, in the system tray theres a panda. the intereface is bare and get's straight to the point, go to Pandas website to see the features. has everything, you cannot disable individual components (which is good)

scans memory and very fast and deep scan.


so far, beats KIS. also it offers "Bulletins" which informs you on the latest versions, viruses, spyware, malware etc etc.


damn its great.

 

you can disble seprate componants.
open the little tabs on the main interface and click on settings.
lodore

 

oh yeah thanks, do you like it? download some viruses and see what its like, seems great might try pc-cillin and some stuff.

 

i tryed it on my old pc upstairs and was quite impressed with it.
after ages of hearing the old versions used to be very bloated and resource hogs its nice to try the light 2007 version.
the panda icon is quite cute
i still dont know why the AV only needs IE5.5 but the secuiryt suite only needs IE5.01
lodore

 

Norton 2007 version are much lighter than Kaspersky, I used both and I know it..

 

I do not think Nis 2007 sucks at all i have been running it for a long time on vista and i see no slow downs at all. I have Kis and Nod and they are both very good programs but Norton runs so well i see no reason not to use it.Norton might suck for you but not every one.
