I am looking mainly for anti: spyware/ virus and a firewall
I have tried looking online for reviews, and have come up with Zone
alarm security suite
Just wondered what you think of this, and if theres anything better?
Obviously I am after something very recent, which Zone Alarm isn't
quite - would this be a problem?
Many thanks
Lee

This month's pc magazine did a roundup and concluded that they all
have rather weak spyware protection. I think McAffee got their
editor's choice as a suite though.
I haven't been very impressed with McAffee though. Seems to scan
really friggin slow in comparison to other more nimble stuff like
nod32.
Whatever you do, avoid Symantec.

Zonealarm is a good firewall but the suite bundles E-Trust in for an anti-
virus. E-Trust has been having problems of late and I got rid of it
because of persistent problems with updating. I've never found a suite
that seems to do all things well.
Maybe you would be better off getting separate programs for firewall, anti-
virus and other malware. I use Zonealarm, <http://tinyurl.com/kzq>, avast!
<http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html>, and both AdAware,
<http://lavasoft.element5.com/software/adaware/> and Spybot Search &
Destroy, <http://www.spybot.info/en/index.html> for spyware. a-squared

have a look at BitDefender (Professional Plus or Internet Security) from
Softwin.
