Spec me a antivirus/firewall

uknowist · 4 Jun 2008 at 20:19

well after finding out today my debit card details got stolen I figured it was possible it was done from the internet but the women on the phone said it was probably when i was on holiday in america, but I figured I really need to up my security on my computer anyway.

The reason being I only ever use free anti virus sofware like AVG and currently not even using a firewall......i know, im pretty much spewing out my details on the internet

so any ideas on whats a good one to buy? (i have windows vista 64bit)

thanks

PS im currently using: AVG 7.5
Spybot - Search & Destroy

I use this

http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/download_firewall.html

its rather paranoid but its better to be safe than sorry.

Ide say have Comodo as the firewall and Kaspersky as the antivirus.. But if you have Vista use NOD 32 insted.. As when I had Kaspersky on my Vista install it took me an age to scan. And after having a scan on google it was a widespread problem.
I do prefer kaspersky on XP though.

So use NOD 32 for anti-virus and firewall?

Common sense and a forum search function.

Another vote for Comodo.

I recommend Comodo firewall too. Stick with AVG AV for a while until Comodo bring out their 64-bit compatible AV (it's on their roadmap, apparently).

NOD32/Avast and Comodo.

Nobody likes the Vista firewall?
