Ok I have license key of Quickheal and Avast IS. So which one should I use. I would really like comments from users who have used Quickheal. Also I will install SAS pro alongside quickheal. Also can you recommend a free HIPS/ Anti keylogger software.

Its depend on which city you live and you can get good deal with local shop and from online you can buy in cheap rate that is around 845 rs or $16.
From shop you can get it nearby 650-700 rs that is $12 but be awre and buy from genuine shop only.
You can buy it from flipkart or look around some giveaway on forums and blogs:P

Lol, Stranger you are wrong Quickheal initial update is about 10-20mb. Yes it has a huge installer though. Here is a formula
Greater the Installer size=lesser the initial update size. I have used a lot of Avs and always this held true. You did not tell me from where I can buy Avast.

Your site is down. I can't access it only your domain host.

Update: Got it working I have to go to the Adress bar and enter the URL. Just clicking on it won't work for me.

i can go to your site with avast on my machine right now
I agree avast have become some what heavy with version 7 but the best way to make it light is make a full scan,make boot scan and have avast on your machine for day and when avast will become familiar with other software and files on computer it will become light and superfast with no slow down.

Try McAfee! No Seriously, give it a go before I finish my review!:angel:


To be honest, just because I got ESET at the moment, I am still unsure about my main AV.

Thinking of CAV once again and try to figure it out why has conflict with Intel's Turbo Boost, Avira Free with tweaked settings, AVG (currently test running it on another system in real life usage) and the list goes on...

Don't even mention.... It is more work to get it working again to even just retrieve the screenshots. I should have saved on host like Earth suggested last time...

Problem is that I didn't take a snapshop prior to testing.... pff.

Nevertheless, It is not McAfee's fault. Had that same type of problem already on two reviews. Sure it does not simulate accurately real world usage but then again I do not count those incidents (unless it is not zero day) in the reviews:)

I should have just gone and done a video review instead :P

McAfee is not that bad but its a resource hog. Ok I have the following Internet Security Suites
1. Quickheal 2. AVG 3. Vipre which one should i go for?
Thanks.
Last time AVG gave me false alerts about intrusion attempts.
