firewall and anti virus combo (whats best)

[niknik1971]

At the moment I have NIS 2005, but when my years subscription runs out I
might be thinking of changing to something new and I wondered if anyone
could recommend a product that combines a firewall and anti virus.

I am not looking for a free product.

Any info would be great.

I personally use PcCillin from Trend. Have used it for several years
and found it to be the least intrusive and best running AV of all.

PS it also has firewall and mail scan.

Have a look at Zone Labs products

I had a look at zonelabs and I must say the two year licence looks very good
value

Get System Suite 5. It uses Sygate for a firewall and TrendMicro for the AV.
http://www.v-com.com It also has a very good clean up, among other features.

I have been using ZoneAlarm Security Suite for a month now and am very happy
with it. I get at least one update a day - sometimes 3 or more.

To date the the Definition of "The Best Firewall and Antivirus Software"
depends on the needs.

Since Spyware and Ad-ware programs of late have become an Increasingly
dangerous threat Symantec and Network Associates have been scrambling to come
up with Internet Security Packages that defend you and your computer. I
personally have used these programs and have found them to lack luster.

The Best System I have found is Panda Platinum Internet Security and Its
successor. Both are very easy to use and provide the highest level of
security currently available in a retail product. Obviously the computer is
only secure as its user, but the panda software makes it very easy.

Thanks all for the info

I wondered if there is a site that does comparisons on different programs.

Comparisons vary on the threat concerned, so take heed when reading these.
