    Hi, I have a latest version of Kasper Sky Internet Security (Ver. 7) And after 10 years experience of norton,macafee, panda and ... i choose the above type.

    But i have a friend with more experience about firewalls and anti virus programs. He said NOD32 (as antivirus) and comodo (as firewall) are very better than any program around the world. because: (please see the following links)

    Please help me and give its reason too.

    I am using NOD32. I used to have Comodo Firewall but I installed it because it was annoying seeing it always popping-up blocking even Firefox and IE. NOD32 is safe without Comodo.

    I wonder if installing Firewall like Comodo affects Internet speed.

    Like I've said before, Kaspersky Anti-Virus is the winner. Not only is it easy to use, but it does have complex options for advanced users. Not to mention it's been coded by German people. In case you didn't know this, it does matter. There's a great handful of some of the smartest hackers that reside in Germany. This means they are well aware of the patterns of unwanted bugs that appear on a daily basis, and know exactly how to defend against them. They also update their definitions every couple of hours. It works in real-time watching your registry, logging events concerning modifications of application behavior, and is able to identify risks before they occur, served up with excellent recommendation for remediation solutions.

    AVG is good as well, its simple and easy, i look at it as an extra or a backup :D

    no one says you can only have 1 anti virus

    I am more of a Norton type of guy, but I am not a fan of the Norton Suite Software.

    I stay away from Norton after it failed to detect viruses from Limewire that ruined my computer.

    How much resources does Norton take on your computer? As much as it can find.

    I used Norton few years ago and seriously, it slowed my computer more than all the possible viruses altogether. I'd personally advise NOD32.
