internet security is it worth to buy?

[cluedo]

Hi,, i am thinking to buy the bitdefender internet security ,this program is heavy; does effect the performace of one computer;

from where can i test it; can i find one trial version? for this antivirus?

I had before the norton internet security but it couldn't find all the viruses and it was very heavy program

 

[Hellfire]

I wouldn't bother with Bitdefender, if you're intent on getting good, I'd personally recommend Sophos or in a pinch Eset,

fist time i am hearing for this antivirus sophos.

what is the difference between bitdefender internet security and Sophos?

I have seen that bitdefender internet security has very good reviews..

My recommendation is for Comodo.

My recommendation is for Comodo.

this as one of the best free ones

It depends on what your needs are, but you didnt mention. Norton is bloat ware.....

Recommend


this as one of the best free ones

And the premium version is reasonably priced. Win/Win.

Norton is bloat ware.....

Common knowledge really. However they have been getting better in the past few years.

comodo internet security is better from bitdefender internet security ?


I have seen a lot of people that recomended comodo internet security from avast,norton,nod ,kaspersky.
although kaspersky internet security is very heavy programm , before 2 months i had installed the trial version and my computer was too slow, i couldn't open my browser

comodo internet security is better from bitdefender internet security ?

All day long. I operate a PC retail business and I test antivirus/antimalware/security suites every year to make sure the best one is being recommended. Comodo and Avira have consistently been the best all around performers in this category of PC software. Kaspersky is good but as you said, heavy on resources but not the worst by far. Any one of those three would serve you well, but my findings show Comodo to be the best.

My friend kaspersky internet security is very heavy on resources as i told you and i had a lot of problems when i was trying to open some pages from my browser, some times when i was in my destop in windows a lot of times my system was very slow. and i deleted it..

i will buy Comodo internet security my friend.I believe also that all the internet security suites every year are getting better and stronger against viruses

your best bet for internet security is smart browsing. maybe a DNS service if you have kids , otherwise informed browsing is best protection.

i have kids i have one boy and one girl

 

[dirtyferret]

why not just use bit-defender free?

 

[cluedo]

you mean to use the trial version?

 

[DirtbagDave]

i have kids i have one boy and one girl

I'd say Kaspersky internet security is a good choice, but like you said it is heavy. Especially with kids and their usage. Otherwise smart browsing and a good ad-blocker is the best defense!

Webroot SecureAnywhere Is what I use. Uses very little system resources.

I use it and it is light on resources. I’m very satisfied.

why not just use bit-defender free?

Bit defender free is only AV. None of the other security features are present. So in essence, if someone wants to keep using the Windows firewall, then Bitdefender Free would be a good choice.

I have seen that bitdefender internet security has very good reviews..

Year after year it consistently scores 1st or 2nd.

bit defender is quite good. However, they aren't on the market long. I think they appeared sometime around windows 10 release. Sophos UTM is very good, but if you just need antivirus I'd recommend nod32. They've been here for ages and they are pro's. 2nd place goes to avast. Another good AV would be AVG, for whome there is usually a giveway for a year of use, if it's your first time installing it, you should google. Unfortunately, the best firewall's aren't being developed anymore, and the modern stuff simply uses windows filtering platform, which is not good enough for me. All of the mentioned so far are very "heavy", either on integration into OS, or on hdd, or on memory, or all of that, and if you really want something "lite", I would recommend glasswire.

If you feel compelled to have some type of protection on children's computers ,what I would suggest is getting Malwarebytes (the actual paid version) it will cost you around 20 bucks for three computers, for a year. It offers some type of Internet protection but I don't recall what. More importantly what it offers is you can set a password ,so they are unable to change any settings which ,if it's blocked ,they have no choice. This in combination with openDNS has done very well for me and i have several kids, of which 2 are 15 & 17

i like setting a custom screen when a site is blocked (porn for example) which says "if your seeing this, i already know you tried to search something i blocked, so STOP"

Wut? Are you for real?

Try 2001. Try 500 million users.

 

[cluedo]

i want to have protection in the laptop which i have bought it for my children..

 

[theFOoL]

Knowing children these days not knowing what the internet has is scary. Hmm I don't know what you should use as I just use Defender now for Windows. I used AVAST! in the past though which worked well

 

[cluedo]

i can understand because internet if you dont know how to use it ,,, it can be very dangerous. and i have 2 kids and i must be very carefull, because are very small . and i dont want my kids to dig very deep in the surface of the internet.
Anyway i will buy comodo internet security

Not sure where you got those numbers and years, but I swear I haven't heard of them before windows 10 came out.

Keep going, you’re looking foolish.
