RE: Stranger Security Configuration
Yes you're correct about security suite is more stable and easier to configure than having to search for the right combination of setup. Each machine is unique so they won't react the same. I've pointed out the best possible option of a simple AV+firewall setup which is to provide a strong, stable and very light protection for most users.
Security Suite is mostly bloated and often offer features which you do not need and the truth is they are no better in protection or light than any AV+Firewall combination. The only good about thing about suite is that they were made to be stable as possible and gives the developer less headaches from their customers complains because of conflicts. Even than they are not free of bugs and slowdowns as you have noticed from your own personal tests. In the future, like one of my friends says a complete suite will be the norm and firewall and antivirus will ceased to exists.
If you prefer suite than that it is your choice but from reading your posts you still confused to find the right one.
No i have to disagree. For example Panda Cloud has varied user comments some find it light and some don't. In my case it caused slowdown while using it. Webroot is a different beast the best cloud av that i've tried. You just needs some understanding on how it works. WSA provide some feature to further trim down resource usage and so does Emsisoft Antimalware. It (EAM) provide one of the best protection but not so well with cleaning but it probably doesn't matter since it does really good with prevention.
I find it strange with some of your comments so i'll post them here.

I would say that how they dare to price their product for nearly $80,I think $8 would be waste in buying this type of crap.
They advertised on their website that its better and faster then norton.
No its slow down internet speed and their detection rate is poorer then outdated crapped antivirus.
Horrible detection capability I would suggest to go with free avira/avast/mse then installing this crap-ware.

webroot is falsely claimed lightest av and i bet nobody can prove it, it slow downs my browsing speed and downloading speed by half compare to avast/avira/mse.
If anyone have doubt about webroot install it on your computer and give it try for 1 day its heavier than any other good av.
(07-14-2012)
Back with webroot
Its feels lighter and safe
(08-19-2012)
After hovering around all over the world I find it lightest
I have selected two av out of whole bunch of security software and they are avira internet security and WSC.
At the time Sticking with WSC
...and now you say it's lighter and safe, that's odd for a crap software?

Webroot:very much impressed few more features added and improved in system resorces.
Overall I like bitdefender norton and webroot new version
-----------------------
And here is another.
Kaspersky Pure - (07-03-2012)
Change to Kaspersky Pure from AIS and I am loving it. Very light on system even lighter than eset and avast
I said it is light because it is full feature signature+cloud based Security system with many extra layer of protection. - (07-04-2012)
Kaspesky Pure works well without any popups warning even without cloud av and it is not like webroot or panda where cloud protection and internet connection is must during scan or protection. - (07-04-2012)
Kaspersky Pure - (07-10-2012)
Removed: Avast Internet Security
Actually I am bit confused to choose and remain with either kaspersky pure or nis 2012 and I am not impressed with Ais now a days - (07-10-2012)
I am with it right now and the lightness of this product is amazingly unbelievable. - (07-10-2012)
Browsing is much faster with even kaspersky link scanner and antibanner ON,its faster than eset.avira,avast and even norton. - (07-10-2012)
Kaspersky Pure - (07-20-2012)
Removed:Norton Internet Security
Reason : Slow browsing compare to Kaspersky Pure.Url Filter of Kp is much better.
Detection was Good compare to other av which i tried from last week
Light on my machine.
Very Good url filter of KP
Install and forget policy (its take long time at 1st install update and scan but after that not to worry)
...and here's the catch
Kaspersky Pure - (07-21-2012)
Removed Kaspersky Pure: Crashed OS and have to reinstall windows Angry (Will Never use it )
Kaspersky Pure - (07-31-2012)
Removed:Nis(some issue with license)
believe me its very light - (07-31-2012)
Norton Internet security - (08-18-2012)
Removed:kaspersky Pure
Kaspersky Pure is good for computer when it remain idle and when you start browsing,play video or open pdf/office then it shows its true sign
Yes very light and browsing is superfast
With such lite av you can afford a bit slow scan
and you can do work easily while norton scan unlike bitdefender/kaspersky
You mention before (07-20-2012) that Norton has slow browsing compare to Kaspersky Pure and here you say it's superfast and Kaspersky is the opposite.
You seems to like Kaspersky Pure but the inconsistent remarks you made baffles me. :huh:
So you say to believed in you but you're going in circles biting your own tail.. ouch
However i agree with you Kaspersky Pure is much lighter and more stable since its the optimized version of the later. Web Anti-Virus buffers fragments of objects downloaded from the internet it only scans an object after it has been completely downloaded. Kaspersky link scanner and anti-banner is another thing.. URLs scan allows determining of web sites which are listed in the "black" list.
PS: I don't consider myself an advanced user but experience does makes a difference, i'm considering going AV-less when i feel it right time to do so.
Good day
