Hi all. I have macaffe atm, being with them for 3 years but now, I just don't think they cut it anymore.

I'm just wondering what are the best firewall and anti-virus programmes out there. I don't mind paying upto £70 for them. I just want something that is really going to stop the nasteys from getting into my pc, virus, spyway and the like.

Cheers all.
 
NOD32 - £23 for one year / £35 for 2 years / £46 for 3 years. No VAT on those prices though. So £27.03 / £41.13 / £54.05.

Sunbelt Kerio - either use the free version or get the paid for version for abotu £10-11. Its $19.95 which is about £9.95 at the moment.

Othes to consider are Kaspersky and Comodo firewalls. There is a free AOL av that is effectively a rebranded Kaspersky but there are 2 AOL av's and one is the good Kaspersky and one isn't.

Another vote for NOD32
 
Another vote for Nod32 (works a treat with XP and Vista) - firewall wise I have to say the Windows one does me fine (backed up by a hardware on in my Belkin Router ;) ) - but if I didn't have that I'd be using Zone Labs, ZoneAlarm - really easy to use and seemed effective!

I used to swear by ZoneAlarm but I decided to give Sunbelt Kerio a try and my word its brilliant. OK it thinks Ad-aware is trying to inject code somewhere whenever I run a scan but other than that its perfect.

Nod32, which will have its own firewall in version 3 :) Until then, use the Windows jobby.

Aren't there going to be two flavours of NOD32 v3? One with the firewall, thus in effect a full security suite and one without, just NOD32 v3 antivirus?
 
I have used NOD32(2 years) and Kaspersky both are excellent. Kaspersky has a more user friendly interface than NOD32, but this will change when NOD32 releases V3.

NOD32 uses slightly less resources than Kaspersky........

The choice is yours!.....

Norton is crap tbh... :o

Nod32 + Windows Firewall (sp2) = Win :D

Norton could be free and I'd still never, ever use it. How they can get away with charging for that oversized, bloated nasty software, I don't know.
