I've been a fan of ZoneAlarms security suite for the last 2-3 years but the Vista version has slowed my system down dramatically. Can anyone recommend a good security setup for running on Vista. I originally stopped using Norton with XP because it wasn't picking up Trojan spyware. I'm not confident that they'll have improved their product.
what is an Internet Security Suite ? ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuqZ8AqmLPY <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VuqZ8AqmLPY"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VuqZ8AqmLPY" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>
Forget all those security suites. The Windows firewall and a router are fine as far as a firewall. Just get a free anti-virus program (Avast or AVG) and free anti-spyware (Spybot S&D and Ad-Aware).
Avast report. I can't really knock this program since it's free ware but it doesn't suit my needs. The free ware version can't be schedule to run a scan on a regular basis or on a specific file or drive. A scan has to run on the whole system which is frustrating. I also doesn't work well with downloading.Unless you stop the software prior to a download it scans the files as they're coming in which throttles the download right down. Restarting it after a download has begun sidesteps this but then of course the whole system has to be scanned. With 3 drives this is a nightmare. Nice little program unless your a down loader. I'm moving on to a 30 day trial of NOD32.
