I would recommend you Zone Alarm Internet Security 8. It has got many features and will always keep your PC safe. It has got Firewall, Antivirus(on access), Antispyware, Parental Control, IM Security, Email Protection, Spy Site blocking, Browser protection, Identity protection and other many features. I am using it currently and am sure of what I am suggesting you.:smile:

nice choice indeed,but the funny thing is that my kis7 didn't give a damn about that test file,or maybe outpost's hips module got to it first who cares.btw did you buy kav 2009 or kis 2009? kav 2009 doesn't include a registry guard,just my 2 cents:)
