Which product would suite me best ?

A. Emsisoft Internet Security Pack
B. Emsisoft Online Armor 6.0
C. Emsisoft Anti-Malware 7.0

Which, from the above three should i buy?

I prefer my system both light and responsive while at the same time i like to know what's going on my system (App Control, etc)

Currently using PF + Avira.

I have never used any emsisoft products so far, so any info would be appreciated :p.

Thanks.

Before you buy anything you should always use the trial versions to make sure that is what you want and need.

Thanks.:D

Ya i will go with the trial first but all the installers are huge (200mb+) so i don't wanna download every one of them ill just download the one which gets the maximums support from MT users :). I have a download cap, so every MB is practically gold :p.

A = B + C

FYI, if you have a capped bandwidth, EAM signatures updates are around 3-5mb minimum every days. Program updates around 50mb.

For example, i suggest you ESET SS for its small updates, also avoid products that continuously check the cloud.

3-5mb per day i can live with 150+ mb i can't live with :p.

so EIS would be the best choice for me? ok i'll check out the trial thanks, for the info

p.s. my cap is 18gigs, though most will say, it's good enough i watch a lot of game streams so i keep all my download till the last week of the month :p.

Any reason for switching away from Avira?

Nothing in general just curious to check out the product, have not used any Emsisoft products till date. Currently my AVvira + PF combo is rocking :D

Definitely the thing here is either you want the product at full components or the thing you need only for the combination purpose.:)

So far so good the system has not lost boot time, it's responsive though i feel Online Armour takes a bit high RAM.

Online Armor Free Edition is a heck of a firewall, and really lets you know exactly what is going on with an easy to read interface.

Ya i now see why you are so hooked with OA. The information provided for each process / network is to good and the information itself is displayed in a simple manner which is like icing on cake.

As far as I am concerned, OA Free is Emsisoft's flagship. That product alone has earned my trust and respect for Emsisoft R&D.

The only thing OA premium adds is The Banking Mode, DNS Spoofing and registry Shield right? I think one can live without that :p.
+1 for OA free
