| 1220304 | 2011-08-01 02:59:00 | Hi all. I have Telecom broadband, and like most people are concerned about security. I use Comdo Internet Security Suite, but I was looking at Telecom website and it says:-Sign up to Telecom Broadband and get a FREE Telecom Security Suite licence, powered by world class McAfee (worth over $95 a year). Telecom and McAfee have teamed up to bring Telecom Broadband and Dial-Up customers award winning protection for your home computer FREE keeping you safe from online viruses, spyware and hackers. What I am asking is, would this be better, or worse that what I have currently? :thanks Ian |

| 1220305 | 2011-08-01 03:02:00 | I personally wouldn't touch McAfee with a 40ft barge pole. Comodo isn't my first choice either, but I'd say it would be better than McAfee. | wratterus (105) | ||

Yes I had heard that McAfee was not the best. The main reason's I use Comodo is cost, free and it's a package with firewall and antivirus, etc and build in. Do you know of any other suites, like this? |

| 1220308 | 2011-08-01 03:07:00 | The free Microsoft Security Essentials is better than any suite (bar NOD32) :) Yes, but it doesn't have a firewall and Microsoft's poor excuse, for a firewall, does cut the mustard... |

| 1220309 | 2011-08-01 03:15:00 | You could use Nod 32 which has both but not free cheaper than Telecom price though I think, there is always the Zone alarm fire wall, personally I have had no problems just using the Windows one. If your on BB then your router should have a built in firewall too | gary67 (56) | ||

Yes, but Windows firewall does stop stuff going out, just one way like. Not sure why you said,"All-in-one packages suck". |

| 1220313 | 2011-08-01 03:41:00 | Depends what version of windows you have / you're talking about. Vista and Win7's firewall is better than XP's. Programs like Mcafee, Bitdefender, Kaspersky, and Nortons / Symantec crash more than anything else. And from what I've read do stuff all to do anything if its malware. Besides getting disabled. Not much use if its disabled. It cant do anything | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
