Vista - Internet security

Ok ..i just reformatted my harddrives to putthem in raid and also to do a clean install of vista 64bit and i come to find out that mcafee is not compatible with the 64bit version..

so heres the question..what internet security suite do you guys use and what is the best in your oppinions?

news:Krew.317q02@xxxxxx-mx.forums.net...A solution such a security suite is nothing but snake-oil. Eset's NOD32 has
a 64 bit AV version, the rest of the solutions such as Vista FW, IPsec that
is another packet filter that works in conjunction with Vista's FW Windows
Defender and even thing else is already there if you know how to use them.

I have implemented the AnalogX rules on Vista. Between the Vista FW and
IPsec running with the Vista FW, it's rock solid protection.

This is running with the Vista FW, IPsec too.

Consider yourself fortunate. Next to Norton, McAfee is probably the
worst security software available.


I am almost never interested in software suites of any kind, whether
security, office, or anything else. I prefer to make my own choices of
which is the best product in each category, and not accept what any
particular vendor has cobbled together.

I recommend that you do the same.

I use the free ZoneAlarm firewall, the free Avast anti-virus program,
and a combination of the following free anti-spyware programs:

Spybot Search and Destroy
Adaware
Spyware Blaster
Windows Defender
Super Antispyware

Note that a single anti-spyware product--even the best one--is *not*
good enough. Note what Eric Howes, who has done extensive testing on
Anti-Spyware products, states:

"No single anti-spyware scanner removes everything. Even the
best-performing anti-spyware scanner in these tests missed fully one
quarter of the "critical" files and Registry entries" See

Against modern malware, the very idea of "removal tools" is completely
flawed.
