add Spybot Search and Destroy to the list
last update april 10
now total download is 80 mb so I really dont want to update it. Btw use it very precautiously and do Spy bot scan once in 2 weeks
p.s- pls dont laugh at my last update date
Kaspersky is one of the top-notch security suits. I And way are you so annoyed with the update? Its only in KB size most of the time.
i personally feel Kaspersky to be a bloatware(i have used it for 2 weeks, scrapped it later)
don't flame me, just my opinion
I think new users or gamers(who require every bit of the resources for themselves)
are much much better off with an Antivirus like Avira(great detection and protection but mediocre self protection)
and a full fledged Firewall like Comodo with DEFENSE+ enabled)
The Defense+ of Comodo can really work wonders given that you can set it up properly
i feel the security of your PC doesn't quite depend on the number of big name softwares you use,
but their ability to complement each other's weaknesses
for example Aira's Process self protection can be quite mediocre(compared to that of Kaspersky)
But when coupled with Comodo (proactive Security Mode) the Defense+ prevents any and every attempt to tamper with registry settings or unauthorized attempts by any malware to shut down the Antivirus
p.s.
Kaspersky is for paranoids who love loads of FPs
Even if you pair up Avast Home with Comodo FW, it will anyday be much better than Kaspersky Internet Security
I have quite deliberately avoided QIS which is not worth your time
I was merely defending KIS against a ignorant post. Nothing else.
even Symantec products do ship with a whitelisted "Rootkit"
that sends the user's mail encryption keys to the FBI servers
to enable the FBI to read even an encrypted mail of a suspect
Did you know that?
Ok
instead of beating around the bush speculating which security soft package is the best
test it for yourself
at Shields UP!!
Try it out, it really helps
and post your respective results here
P.s.
i just tested mine, it found a leak in my Comodo Firewall as i hadn't set it up properly
so it failed in two tests
Then i made some changes in settings
now My Custom security suite has passed in all tests
Stealth Ports Wizard
Full stealth mode (its the third option)----------------------Check
Firewall Behaviour Settings
General Setting
-safe mode------------------------------------------------Check
-create rules for safe applications enabled-------------------not needed
-ipv6 filtering enabled--------------------------------------not needed
Alert Settings
-low alert settings-----------------------------------------Check
-enabled alerts for TCP, ICMP, UDP and loopback requests---Check
also deactivate "This computer is ICS Server"
Advanced
-protect ARP cache enabled--------------------------------Not needed
-block gratuitous ARP frames enabled-----------------------Not needed
-protocol analysis enabled----------------------------------Check
also the defense+ module is optimised to work seamlessly with my firewall settings so seriuosly i am safe. And ShieldsUP has agreed to that.
