Hello,

I'm home user with PC and Laptop. I need a very good Protection because I usually go into very heavy environment and I deal to much with unknown software such as Cracks, Keygen..etc (we know that this software can be also very malicious ones like Ransomware, Virus or Trojan)

I would like your experience with these 2 software mostly regarding Firewall Power.

1- Symantec Endpoint Protection 14 Unmanaged Client Version
2- Kaspersky Internet Security 2017 (2018 is coming very soon)


I tested these to Software myself and in Malware detection and other protection such as Behavior Blocker seems to me that they are very close to each other (Both detected almost everything)

What I'm not able to test is the Firewall Power. I did some tests online such as ShieldUp, DNS Spoofing, and the results where the same for both and I cannot judge.

Who has used both of this software ?
Can you explain which is better for protection if it is configured by skill hand and why??
Can both of this software reverse back malware actions (I know KIS can but I don't know if SEP can also)


As far as I know, ''Nico'' and ''Umbra'' are experienced users of Symantec Endpoint Protection. I'm a quick learner ;)
I will really appreciate your opinion based on you knowledge and experience

Neither is my answer. I don't rely on a software firewall no matter which company makes it. You should really be using a good hardware firewall that blocks attacks at the gateway. They cost money but they offer far greater security than a software firewall ever can.
