551831 2007-05-22 06:22:00 Can everyone post their opinions on what they think is the best internet security suite, as my Norton subscription has just expired and would like to know whether to change to another program or not. I have also recently been trying the Norton 360 trail and it seems to slow down your internet connection dramatically . spaceman8815 (4112)

It's not necessary to get a "security suite", just install the AV and firewall programs of your choice and a couple of anti-spyware programs and be done with it.

Recommended anti-virus programs: NOD32 (not free), Avast and AVG.
Firewalls: Zone Alarm, Sygate, Outpost, Kerio.
Anti-spyware: Spybot Search & Destroy, AdAware, SpywareBlaster.

Comodo firewall is also good. A freebie.

So you are saying I am thick for using it.

Sorry but you are wrong and many would agree with me just as many would agree with you. All software has problems when updates are done as does ALL virus scanners and they ALL make mitakes at times.

Take your prejudices elsewhere.
