I am not a fan of buying stuff , specially not anti viruses
the main reason behind it has been McAffe and Symantec, with so many annoying alerts, just to remind you that you should buy a subscritiption to update, oderwise god knows what will happen to your computer
having antiviruses like mcadde and symantec, can be a pain. Once they are one your computer, they hold it. its like losing total control of ur computer. when your computer starts, u c em, when u work u c them, when u leave u see them.
McAffe and Symantec make money from their marketing. Once , one of even them had a special on their page, and once you bought it the price would be to the one without the special.
Well so I shifted to freewars
there was AVG
then there is the famous zone alarm - I hate that software, it always has a conflict with all ur softwares
well AVG has been good to me except sometimes, when there are hard hits, and it cant handle it, plus it doesnt have a firewall so u ve to download anoder 1 to, for which I went for the sygate firewall
anyways so I had been looking for a better antivirus firewall and I never got 1
when once I read an article about the Panda Titanium Antivirus + Firewall (2007 is their latest version)
The worlds most user friendly and super nice antivirus plus firewall
i tried it for the first 30 days, and later bought it
why
1, all the updates are carried out in the background, and you are only notified that the update has happend, by an alert (like the MSN one, of people coming online)
noooooooo alerts , even if u dont renew your subscription. It asks u once, and later whenver u want it to alert after, days, week or month
the best firewall inside ever, like above the msn pop up initally as u install ask for most of the softwares u wanna let acccess d net or not, once done with this inital thing, u dont even see them
the interface is easy, you are told simply if you want to scan or not , what you wanna scan, firewall setting etc
everything is under one graphical user interafce, not like the other suites where u ve 500 different softwares doing 500 different things
30 days free and then the subscription is 49$ for 12 month, far cheaper than any of the so called better antiviruses in the market . $84.95 for 24 months
has a linux version too
less memory usage, compared to mcaffe and symantec faaaaaaaaaarrrrr lessss....u really feel ur computer has become faster
Features
