I need some opinions about the Security software that's very popular these days..

Answer the poll please

my story about security (short):

McAfee: When i installed it, everything stopped from working  it couldn't be but it did

Norton: it did worked, but it's as slow as a *peep*,  that stupid ^&(^#$%%$ program

Sygate: Wow that was something else... If you like to do many thingw manually, sygate helps you with it.... everything you run is a Trojan or could be higherly dangerous you must configure every program in sygate itself...

Panda: No Problem... It has it all... Anti-Spyware, Anti-virus, Firewall and so on and so on.... Serieusly, if you disable all Notifications, you'll never notice the protection.. otherwise, you're screen is full with NOTIFICATIONS

eTrust: Has no slow-down, has no irritating Notifications, doesn't has an liveUpdate screen or won't use half your internet-connection to stay up-to-date.. No this 1 doesn't...
Then what DOES it do had my pc loaded with spyware & virusses, untill i installed an other program...

Well now i use Panda again and i DO have disabled the notifications soo everything is like YEAH...

But what do you guys (and girls) run??

Well,

I can not say I have used it, but try "NOD32", it seems to be the neowin.net favorite

Ive also heard kasperspy was good.

I use McAfee, however the Firewall starts but won't tell me that it is actually enabled until I manually access it's CP and then it tells me that it's working with the Red M. However when I looked into it, the firewall is working despite the fact it says its disabled at start up. Not really a problem, tbh.

I like McAfee because I've used it for a long time now, and it does the job with no annoyance.

Could you provide specific information on exactly what happened, that sounds a little dodgy.

i agree with anubis about mcafee. i used norton for ages, random popups about programs connecting to the internet, i click on allow and it comes up again so i switched to mcafee. i also use sygate. i didnt have to configure anything. whenever something needed internet access, i checked whatever it was and chose the right option

AVG is free and great however is now decting all adware as torjans which is one feature i hate i prefered the old 7.0  which was out about a month ago

Great program

ZoneAlarm.

I agree with Anubis. McAfee is great, i've never had a problem with it, and if you go to www.PCworld.co.uk you can get it cheaper for a limited period
