The Shield Deluxe or another

05-17-2007

Still searching for the best internet security for Vista. Any thoughts on
the relative merits of The Shield Deluxe, Kaspersky, Nod32 or Avast re
effectiveness, compatability and removability? The first 2 have won awards,
but I believe their are compatability issues with Kaspersky. Avast, of
course, is free to the home user. All claim they are Vista compatible.
Many thanks.

What do you mean by internet security? Avast is only an AV program.

I've used AVG anti malware since Vista was released without probs.

FYI... PC.Tools Firewall, for Vista and Avast Anti-Virus also for
Vista.
Both are working very well for me and are free.
I still recommend using a Router after the Modem, though...
