The Best???

[Tony Cole]

Hello Everyone!

I wanted to know, which internet security (paid) would you suggest for my laptop? I've been using Kaspersky for 2-3 months but my laptop start-up is so slow I wish to change to a different suite. I have license keys for Bitdefender, Emsisoft and Kaspersky???

Bitdefender is way too buggy. Kaspersky's performance differs from one laptop to another and user from user. Some say its great, some say its slow on his/her lappy, it depends.

So I'd go with Emsisoft IS.

p.s : I feel that thread name is kinda wrong.

Is avast! any good, as I also have a license key?

Avast IS vs Emsisoft IS = Emsisoft rocks, imo.

Thank you for your advice

Emisoft is good. The latest version of bitdefender is lighter and quiet stable. Check between these two products over ur PC and decide yourself which suits ur reqirements.

Avast free is the best free antivirus in my opinion. On my laptop in the living room, I have McAfee VirusScan Enterprise running and before, Norton Internet Security and they are running all right, but they use quite some resources. AVG is kinda mediocre in my opinion but its items fly everywhere and I had to spend a week tracking down mysterious folders when I uninstalled and I'm betting that more will fly out. Even Revo Uninstaller couldn't track down everything! I recommend Avast free for free antivirus and Bitdefender for paid for light systems and McAfee for top-notch computers with Intel i7 Haswell and at least 8 GB of RAM.

I had the same problem with Kaspersky before. It slowed down my pc, and the uninstall process was kinda horror for me. I must admit Kaspersky is great product but somehow it doesn't like me

Bitdefender has some bugs (repeated signature update error, sometimes stop respond while removing threats, etc.). I'd defintely pick Emsisoft from these 3 competitors and the EIS 9 version is promising too

Best paid IS are:
-F Secure
-ESET Smart Security
-Emsisoft Internet Security Pack
-GDATA Internet Security

ESET Smart Security
Or
Emsisoft Internet Security

ALERT ALERT ALERT NEWS FLASH: THERE IS NO BEST OR PERFECT ANTIVIRUS OR PROTECTION PROGRAM PERIOD.
When are people finally going to understand that it does not matter if you buy:

* Kaspersky
* Symantec
* Sophos
* G-Data
* Mcafee

Or any product of your choice, in the end of the day they ALL provide you with a similar protection level and will all do a fine job keeping you clean IF and only IF you use basic computer practices and common sense.

Thinking about it I agree with n.nvt, thanks for the advice!

If I were you, I'd put that money in someone's hand that needs it or give it to charity and you got great options to be safe with a free AV.
