Which is better - Zone Alarm or F-secure anti virus?

Featured Replies

The title says it all basically. You can't have both at the same time so which do you prefer?

Reality is hundreds of times more beautiful and more interesting than delusions. Fairy tales just tend to be easier to follow than the wonderful intricacies of life.

Well one is a firewall one is anti virus, you need both.

Then either get a different anti virus or a different firewall.

Good choice :)

 

 

 

AVG appears to be a relatively decent free AV proggie. But if you can afford it, i'd look at buying something like McAfee... some things are worth spending money on... and PC protection is one of them :)

I've been using homecall. Do you think AVG is better?

You mean Housecall? Its not a proper anti virus, its just an online scanner. AVG is a realtime anti virus

Zone alarm is a pain in the butt.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Id recommend using AVAST or Panda. Avast will run from dos before windows loads making it very very fast and cuts down on cpu usage and doesnt lag out ur machine. It will also remove viruses and malware that you would normally have to reboot to get rid of when it runs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For a firewall I would recommend Sygate PFP. Its free and its rock solid.
