Re: Best Virus Protection / Firewall software

I have been in IT for over 20 years and this is a continual debate. I do not recommend one over another because the biggest determining factor for most users is "What requires the least amount of babysitting on my part?" My answer is to try at least three different ones. NOT at the same time, but pick out three and try each one for about 30 days. Most of them offer a trial and that will you an opportunity to get it installed, configured, and then you can determine your own set of pros and cons. Do this for three and if you are still not satisfied, then choose another. At least during these "trial" periods, your system will be somewhat protected and you haven't spent any money yet. Then when you have selected one you like and don't mind having, then buy it. One year only because you will need to re-evaluate at least yearly, but then if you are happy with it and nothing major has happened, then renew.

Kind of like buying a vehicle; you're not married to it and there are plenty of other choices if you become unhappy with it.
