    It so happens that my license for Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 ran out about 2 days back. I'm pondering about getting the 2011 version instead of renewing my own. A friend suggested McAfee and some other name which I forgot. Which ones do you people use? I'm open to suggestions. Suggestions: Kaspersky 2011(mine), Trend Micro, NOD32 and Microsoft Security Essentials as of now. Thank You!

        I swear by MSE. I have sworn at Norton and AVG. Interestingly, I have just finished reading a comparative review of AV suites and the 'N POS' came second and AVG third. So, either I am a bad judge, or they have improved out of all recognition in their most recent incarnations. The winner was Trend BTW.

              I forgot the exact website where they used to compare all of the products every year (or was it every month?). That one had a detailed explanation of all suites. Maybe the one you're talking about? I used to use AVG for about a year like 2 years back. Was somewhat okay but not quite up to the mark. Norton however has quite a name for itself. :rolleyes:

                                Nah don't feel that way. I agree that digital books have come to take over these days but you still have everybody buying books/magazines because they are meant to be read in their original form: the smell of new paper and you know. :D That's actually better than straining the eyes on screens which emit radiation. :)

                                        It's not free for commercial use, though.

                                        Thankfully I plan to use it at home. Would have been great if they provided a firewall better than the one built into Windows. :)

                                          It so happens that my license for Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 ran out about 2 days back. I'm pondering about getting the 2011 version instead of renewing my own. A friend suggested McAfee and some other name which I forgot. Which ones do you people use? I'm open to suggestions. Suggestions: Kaspersky 2011(mine), Trend Micro, NOD32 and Microsoft Security Essentials as of now. Thank You!
