| 672091 | 2008-05-24 06:56:00 | thanks surfer . . . . i really need one suite to protect without the hassel of remembering to run each one i . e the simpler the easier for me . OK one question , those spyware (smithfraud) caught by Nod32 in Wratterus posts, will they be caught by Kaspersky also ???? cheers Kaspersky is outa my realm . . I had it for a while years ago . . but dumped it for a free system . . . after all I am cheap . . . . SpyBot S&D will kill it as will a lot of other stuff . . . it's not so hard to do . . . but you gotta remember that a lot of malware disables your security stuff . . so you gotta check from time to time . . . and update . . . UPDATE . . . UPDATE You be running all along, thinking you're safe but you are hacked and spewing all sorts of trash: porno, money laundering or just being zombied for spammers . Isn't the internet fun? and don't EVEN get me started on Internet Exploder and other things M$ like LiveChat and such . . . Do you Yahoo? Don't! |

| 672093 | 2008-05-24 07:10:00 | He pictures a security suite that doesn't impact system performance at all—even one that makes the computer run faster. And he hopes Norton Internet Security 2009 (www.pcmag.com) will be that suite. Haha i will belive it when i see it lol XD |

| 672095 | 2008-05-24 16:13:00 | I don't see how cloud-scanning would work . . . after all there's too many variables . . . and to use a WHITE cloud isn't even practical . . . . who'd man the list and keep it relevant to the individual's system? Scanning is another slow process; the team strives to vastly increase scanning speed by using a huge whitelist of known good programs "in the cloud" . Downloading updated signatures can also cause a periodic performance hit, so they invented a new type of streaming definitions . According to Trollope, they've made well over 300 individual changes specifically to improve performance and filed a number of patents on this new technology . "We're not there yet," admitted Trollope . "We're still working on it . " Suppose someone wants to go to someplace new and different . . . it looks like the same ol' problem of toast and warnings would make their product look like ZA . Nope . . . until they get speeds past double what they have now and with a firm link for updates that are almost instantaneous, then they are all pipe dreaming . Or maybe, when you bought their high priced system, they'd also include a few extra Gig of RAM for every user . Here's the catch . . read this between the lines: Trollope explained that Symantec is in the middle of a three-year push to invent a completely new type of protection against malware . . . . . it's the money, stupid . . . it's the MONEY! |

| 672097 | 2008-05-24 22:21:00 | I am looking at getting a Internet Security suite - includes Antivirus and Spyware checker and firewall All in ones, do not give you complete protection. Avoid Nortons and if you do go with a suite, always, always have some other stand alone antispyware as well. I'd just get an AV, a firewall and at least 2 antispywares separately. |
