Battle "Best" Internet Security of 2014. What's your opinion?

[Ajay123]

Which Internet Security will you prefer in terms of perfomance and protection...why???

 

[Dima007]

What about Norton?
Well, from my own experience
ESET Bitdefender and Norton

Who's the best? still open...

Not this again, and considering I don't switch between packages on a daily basis, Norton Security 2015.

 

[RmG152]

mmmm, hard decision, I'm between this products:

1. Comodo IS. (not the best detection but to much features like hips, sandbox, etc)
2. Eset smart Security.
3. Qihoo 360 IS (not TS). (not a real IS)
4. Emsisoft Internet Security.
5. Norton.

Best antivirus it is the user.

On the topic I choose the eset for lifetime achievement, although many FP.

 

[mercurial]

Well, if you have a good system that is ( a good cpu + a good amount of RAM) Kaspersky would be my choice.

2. Norton IS for an overall balanced suite

3. ESS 8 or EIS 9 ( ESS 8 is lighter and has a better GUI, while EIS 9 is a bit heavy but has a slightly better protection overall.)

4. Webroot (Quite light on the system, works efficiently in the background).

As I mentioned this before, still Norton Internet Security because of its design to be fine on its footprint on performance but better online protection feature.

But for super suites then big boys of ESET and Kaspersky.

1-Emsisoft
2-Kaspersky
3-Qihoo
4-Trust Port

For me I have used Kaspersky for 3yrs and have found it to be an excellent piece of security software that offers rock solid protection against the latest threats

 

[darko999]

ESET with a few tweaks will run so smoth you'll forget it is running in the background.
Norton if you want a lot of FP and a mediocre / average detection rate.

INTERNET SECURITY: KASPERSKY
ANTIVIRUS: ESET

Eset, i really like Qihoo, but it has not firewall, for this i vote Eset

 

[Ajay123]

So Eset is better compared to KIS ????

 

[Ali80]

So Eset is better compared to KIS ????

It's hard to compare and make optimal decision. However, You must choose between two optimal solutions. ESET SS is lighter and KIS have more weapons in his arsenal. KIS is number 1 in malware removal. Both are good indeed

 

[jamescv7]

So Eset is better compared to KIS ????

For protection its still hard to compare as both have provided better capabilities however KIS have well managed components like Application Control but in performance there's already a change here.

Im using KIS 2015...but i feel its a little bit heavy on my lap...So im thinkng about trying ESS8...I'm confused whether to move to ESS as ive no licence key for it..

 

[mercurial]

Just like @jamescv7 mentioned above Kaspersky has some really neat modules. It's also quite simple, and some of the feature are quite simple and a good addition take Safepay and Virtual Keyboard for instance, nothing big but quite handy for online transaction. Their Application Control is quite easy to understand, and use so is the parental control. Overall it's quite robust and is considered on of the Industry's best security firm. ESS 8 or KIS would bog down to personal preference in the end, but overall protection wise Kaspersky still win.

Im using KIS 2015...but i feel its a little bit heavy on my lap...So im thinkng about trying ESS8...I'm confused whether to move to ESS as ive no licence key for it..

Yes laptop with 4gb or less may have issues with KIS, i would recommend you switch the KIS to a desktop and use ESS 8 for the laptop, also ESS 8's Anti Theft might be handy, i have not really used that feature yet, but looks promising.

Edit 1: You can try out ESS 8, NIS 2015 and Webroot for a month each or with extended trial, i am sure you can get one from the forum. Meanwhile you get to test some good suites on your lappy while being protected and you can buy ESS 8 if you really want to went some discounts show up on the forum .

 

[tonibalas]

Comodo Internet Security because with a few tweaks offers a high level of protection and it's free
For paid Eset

 

[Exterminator]

I voted KIS 2015 just because I think it offers superior protection.
However I also use ESS8 & EIS 9 which I also like.
