Hi!
I need some advice on what security software to get for my two networked computers.
I have been using trend micro Internet security for about two years now without a lot of trouble (just the occassion virus slipping through now and then and me having to get the computer erased and reinstalled) other than that most of the viruses I encounter are detected and deleted.
However, in about three days my subscription will expire and to recieve more updates I will have to buy trend micro 2009/10 or buy a new program.

I was just wondering what's the best program out there are how trend micro compared to all the other security software suits out there?

I prefer to go for BitDefender Total Security, since it can prevent the unauthorised connections and ask you to take decisions for connections. It's firewall settings will be helpful for preventing intruders and hackers.
Regular updates will be given by the BitDefender,hence you can aware of the latest viruses. It also takes less memory than others.
It has a toolbar to prevent you from phissing sites.

I use Quick-heal anti-virus software . It does a good job in detecting and removing the most harmful viruses and trojans also . I have also used trend micro earlier but it makes my computer little slow . It consumes lots of memory. With quick-heal I do not notice any slowdown in my computer speed. You can also consider kaspersky anti-virus which is also quite good.

Frankly speaking, none.. It is because there is no such thing as perfect or 100% protection against viruses and hackers.. AV and internet security are software, software is a program, which is basically vulnerable to other programs such as virus.. You need to try first different names of AV and internet security software available or existed and you may find something that you prefer using later.. I personally used AVG Free as my anti-virus, I had been a user for few years now and never been had any major problems because of the software and most especially to virus who infected my system.. I also used Spybot Search and Destroy as an additional line of defense, been a user for almost a year now..

I am a computer tech and have several friends that are also, because they were my boss or something, however, everyone I know, just about, that has any computer sense uses AVG.

Have to agree here. AVG is flexible as well.. first off they have a very good Free version... and then if you need more options and different types of protection you can always invest and pay to upgrade.

I have been using avg but I got some viruses and I figured it was no longer protecting me and I found avast. I am only using the free version which might not be as good as the paid version it seems to be adept at catching the malware. Cheers!!

It may have been needing an update. I haven't ever had a prob with them so far.

Have to agree here as well... an un updated AV is about as useful as a screen door on a submarine

Look, there is no such antivirus which can prevent every worm infiltration in your system. And these days, coders use FUDs so that nothing in the world can detect them.
Hence, I would advice you to continue with what you have been using for about 2 years if it has been successful in preventing and deleting viruses that it can detect.

Try Kaspersky or maybe AVG. It works well just don't forget to update them everyday or weekly.

I use AVG by Grisoft. It has proven itself to be the best for the past 6 years I have used it. You can download a free trial for 20 days and see if you like it. Spybot and spyware blaster are free spyware programs you can download also.
Should you choose to download AVG, make sure it is the real AVG by Grisoft. I have used many name brand common anti-viruses and they allowed me to get viruses and spyware.
I am a computer technician and always recommend this to my customers!
