| PC Security---what's the best? I don't have a prob as such, I just wondered what you guys all use for security on your P.Cs? A couple of months ago, my computer started being naughty, playing up and being very slow. I had to 'get a man in' to sort it out. I currently use avast! 4.8 professional all the time, and spybot once a week. Just wondered if anyone knows of any others which are better ( whilst being free of course ). I'm useless with PC's and everyone at work seems to have differing ideas as to what is best.  Last edited by BLACKPANTHER : 08-10-2008 at 12:10 AM. |

| Re: PC Security---what's the best? Zonealarm Internet Security It has anti-virus, firewall and spyware protection IM (instant messenger) protection...well too much to list. Read here for more: Total Internet Security Software: ZoneAlarmŽ Internet Security Suite. Also, my computer runs faster because i have 1 program doing 3 jobs, rather than 3 different programs doing all those jobs. Rob |

| Re: PC Security---what's the best? I bought a new pc a while back an when the McAfee software ran out i put Avast antivirus on, it's been the best part of 10 months now and it's been spot on, updates happen virtually every day too. avast! antivirus - high security and protection from malware with anti-spyware and anti-rootkit software built in |

 ) and it picked up 11 threats. Makes you wonder why Avast and Spybot missed 'em, but I guess none of them get it all.....now THAT would be worth paying for, imagine. | |
