I updated my configuration. I unistalled Kaspersky PURE 2.0, Comodo Fw and Superantispyware.
I'm using now Online Armor Premium as firewall and F Secure AV and Emisoft Antimalware as real time protection.

I' ve changed F Secure with Nod32.

I have created a second partition with Linux that in my opinion is much safer,

What linux Distro you are using?

Linux being safe is usually a misconception up to a certain stage. Sure there are not much of infections going around but with Linux, you come across other issues with drivers, security patches etc.

I've iust installed Linux Ubuntu. Three years ago I passed from Windows to Linux and I've used it till six months ago.

I would like to know why you said that Nod32 is better than F Secure even if according to the tests it should be the opposite.
Thank you.

Thank you.

I was referring to the Online Scanner of ESET vs F-Secure.

Reason being ESET does have higher detection rate vs F-Secure (despite they have improved in that field as of version 2013).

If you are referring to testing companies tests, take it with a pinch of salt.

If you have the means, then do the tests yourself to have an idea versus recent packs. If you do not, then only thing I can suggest is using a trial of F-Secure and then swap to ESET and see which one fits you best (installers based to have an idea).

ESET Online Scanner is faster than F-Secure for example (at least for me).

As from personal experience, F-Secure's removal capabilities were somewhat less than desirable.
