Battle CIS or ESET SS7 or KAV+CFW or Emsisoft AM+ CFW

[Arpith]

Hi..I came from bitdefender total security and I am glad I did.
I installed kaspersky internet security 2014 and right now facing some major bug in its firewall..The firewall cannot block application from connection to the internet..
So right now I have decided to change my PC security and need experts advice
so my options are
ESET Smart Security 7
or
Comodo Internet Security
or
Kaspersky Antivirus with Comodo Firewall
or
Emsisoft Antimalware 8 with Comodo Firewall

btw I am on Windows 8.1 update 1 Pro..
I will be using Malwarebytes anti malware premium along with my main security software

Any help is really appreciated

Thank You

I know ESS is a very good AV..only thing I am worried about is nice firewall..if it is decent enough then I will go with ESS..

what do u need firewall for? windows is enough I tried ESS and uninstall it install the AV only, I found havy on sys.

Hi, Arpith! probably, you recognize my name...
I use ESS 7.

Is the Windows Firewall a very good solution even when I'm not behind a router?
I sometimes find others suggest to try Windows Firewall if behind a router.

I am still scratching my head..trust me I have very bad memory..maybe got a malware in me

ESET Smart Security or Emsisoft Internet Security both are awesome.
Try both use the one you are more comfortable.

I am not always behind a router..I am sometimes using public internet..sometimes using 4g modem..sometimes using office internet..
I have few friends who are learning "ethical hacking" in a college and eager to try something on me..

Win8.1 = win8.1 built-in security , if you dont test malwares or go to suspicious websites; it is all you need.

Go Eset NOD32 and CFW

 

[Arpith]

now ESS but in few weeks i will say EIS v9

anyway I am going to uninstall kaspersky now..Will try EIS 8 now..if not happy then ESS..
When how much time should I give to decide if I am "happy or not"

 

[Arpith]

Go Eset NOD32 and CFW

I still remember your advice..that option is still open. but somone said OA firewall is also very good..so EIS came into light

 

[Deleted member 178]

test each for at least one week

Until you get infected!

After few weeks there will be final release or Beta version.

Use EIS for 1 week, if you don't like it than switch to ESS, Really you might not switch to ESS as because EIS is too much awesome.

beta surely, all vendors do this sequence:

closed beta -> public beta -> final

now when is the question, it is why i said "few weeks" but could be more

one Q...if you dont get any alerts by your security suite for many weeks, does that mean your AV protection is quite strong or your AV wasnt able to catch them and there might be some malware hidden inside..sending ketstrokes or login details secretely..? Just a question..

Both possibilities are valid!
