I’m Looking For A Decent Antivirus And Firewall?

1. Hanyuu Says

   What you have right now is fine. MSE is a great antivirus, and Windows Firewall is sufficient for most people.
   The only thing I can recommend is that you download Malwarebytes, and run a scan with it every once and a while.

   If you are lucky enough to get a nice system like that I would protect very well. Microsoft itself said it was basic and not an Internet Security program. Most free ones have a price later on- originating from counties i have heard of, no address, no real support.
   Get some free security training from the site below b4 making a choice.

   If your Paying.. ESET Smart Security (Full-Package)http://www.eset.co.uk/Products/SmartSecu…
   If Your not paying then i hear what you have is decent, Others are AVG OR Avira Antivirus, Spybot Or Malware Bytes. & Windows Firewall Is Ok.

   your windows firewall is good enough and use any of these three use only one avast or avira or microsoft security essentials and get malwarebytes to run along side your anti-virus u pick get all at cnet.com or filehippo.com all are free good luck

   I think you are pretty much ok as for free programs. Most of other “free” antivirus lack some features to convince you into buying paid versions (which are better than MSE).

   Most computer magazine articles will have biased articles because Symantec and McAfee have paid for advertising in the magazines. Virus Bulletin 100 is a top commercial website for IT professionals. Its a paid for site that most here probably don’t read.http://www.virusbtn.com/vb100/latest_com…
   the best are along the top right corner
   they rate ESET NOD32 the top antivirus you can have and it carries their VB100 award. ESET has had this award since the late 90′s and no other AV program can claim that.http://www.eset.com/home/compare-eset-to…
   Recent reviews revealed a problem with Kaspersky being one of the slower ones. Evidently Norton has really upgraded their software, the tests showed they are now very fast. NOD 32 has always had a small footprint and used very little of your system resources. Avoid McAfee, it has so many issues. AVAST the best of the free ones because it includes rootkit protection and boot scanner.
   Dont get the security system, just the antivirus program and run Windows defender – both protect around the clock. Apps like malwarebytes and superantispyware are scanners for when you get an infection, not for protection
   Hope this helps
   Still not sure about Microsoft Security Essentials
   …Although the Beta release of Microsoft Security Essentials did poorly in PC Magazine tests, the official final release did significantly better in AV-Test.org tests. According to Neil Rubenking, a PC Magazine author, in an on-demand scan test that he conducted in June 2009, Microsoft Security Essentials Beta found 89 percent of all malware samples: It found only 30 percent of commercial keyloggers, 67 percent of rootkits and only half of scareware samples. The suite’s real-time protection found 83 percent of all malware samples and blocked the majority of them: In this test, Microsoft Security Essentials found 40 percent of the commercial keyloggers and 78 percent of the rootkits.[33] Later on October that year, AV-Test.org conducted a series of trials on the officially released version of the product in which Microsoft Security Essentials detected and caught 98.44 percent of 545,034 computer viruses, computer worms and software Trojan horses as well as 90.95 percent of 14,222 spyware and adware samples….http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_S…http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?…http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?…http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?…http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?…
