    Hey!

    I am looking to buying a new computer and I want to know what the best software solutions today!

    Currently, I am using ZoneAlarm and AVG!

    I don't mind paying for it so long as it is:

    1. Light! i.e doesn't cause too much stress on my computer nor slow it down
    2. Easy to use - so anyone can use it!
    3. Frequently updated - so it's up to date

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    I like nod32, also heard several times, that the newest version of Norton is very light, but didn't use it yet.

    Bro, I suggest ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite.

    I presume that you only have ZoneAlarm Firewall.

    Karpersky is a antivirus, as far as the firewall is concerned , you can experiment with "SHIELD PRO FIREWALL 2008"

    I currently have AVG and ZoneAlaram Security Suite.

    Kaspersky Internet Security?

    Would that be a good idea?

    BitDefender is the best. Karpersky and Micro Trend are almost as good as BitDefender. I would suggest not getting AVG or any other Antivirus. Im a Computer tech. So trust me with this.

    AVG and ZoneAlarm both works good for me since last 2 years. Both are free to use.

    DON.

    The free version of AVG, you don't need a paid version ;)
