Answer 3

We do recommend checking out online retailers before purchasing anything. Google for the name of the retailer, read reviews about them, etc. Use a security product that includes anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-spam and firewall. Make sure to run and install Windows update every second Tuesday of the month. Patch *all* other applications as well such as Adobe Acrobat Reader, Flash, Itunes, Quicktime and Realplayer. This is unfortunately easier said than done but we've made a tool called F-Secure Health Check that together with our Internet Security 09 makes this really easy.

Answer 4

I never use just an antivirus program. I always use internet security programs.. It gives complete protection and no need to install different firewall, anti spam etc. With an internet security you have it all.



I did test 5 different internet security programs over the last 12 months.

Here is my top 3





3rd place - Bitdefender Total Security - good - 8 out of 10



2nd place - Panda Internet Security 2009 - very good 8 ½ out of 10



1st place and in my opinion the best is

ESET Smart Security.- did find infections

the other programs missed - very good 9 out of 10



The other 2 programs I tested, were Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 and

Zone Alarm Security Suite. Both good program, but just not good enough to get in my top 3



I liked ESET that much, that I purchased it and it is now protecting my computer very well.

Any kind of antivirus u r using first make sure that it is upto date.

i have used kaspersky for approx three months. the main thing wrong wd it is its difficult interface for bigginers.

and it requires lot of effort to update it.



Avast!

i prefer avast and using it.

it is simple in use and very light.

it can be easily updated....i must say it is best for home users.
