Hey, I currently use Mcafee virus scan, along with zonealarm pro. Obviously I want to be as safe as possible from hackers, viruses etc, so I was wondering what everyone thought of these programs, and if there are any better alternatives to these?
Thanks
maybe you should make a list of all the anti-V&F programs and ask the mods to make a poll.
Well my rule of thumb is , If it aint broke don't fix it. But there is a wealth of info here : http://www.tvg.pinecurtain.net/index...ticle=security
Edit: Hey Rossco2005 Every thought of setting up a paypal account? Some would pay for that info ! :D
This is what I use now. KAV personal 5.0.156 (real time settings to recommended & on demand on maximum) & Look 'n' Stop w/enhanced rules set loaded (so I'm totally stealth).
maybe som of you ZA users should give this a try

ZA failed me in the hijack dept
so i wont be using that again
IM using Sygate and AvGfree - so far no problems - even though they dont get the best results in tests...
So far "Zone Alarm Pro" & "Norton Anti-Virus 2005" are working good together. :Knocking on Wood:
are u saying ZA resisted the hijack program???Quote:

Norton Internet Security works quite well. I would suggest Symantec Internet Security Corporate, more agressive, and takes up less system rescources.
Try looking @ this thread

I use Norton Anti-Virus 2004, Avg Free, and Sygate, with small apps like Protowall, and Supertrick.
So no biggie ;)
