YoKenny Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Selected items Top Internet Security Suites: Paying for ProtectionUsing security software is more important than ever. Our tests of the latest all-in-one security suites show that good protection can shut down the nastiest viruses, spyware, and adware. Erik Larkin, PC World Jan 22, 2009 9:00 pm In the early days of computer viruses, you could get by with careful surfing--and without antivirus protection. Now, crooks love nothing more than to discover a nasty zero-day security flaw for which there's no defense, and then to infiltrate otherwise benign and popular Web sites with hidden, malicious programming made to attack that security flaw. While relatively uncommon, such tactics can catch even the most careful surfer. Like it or not, you need security tools. Also, though Norton's detection rate is very good, it isn't the best: Avira's Premium Security Suite took top honors again this year in identifying both known and unknown malware.

YoKenny Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 What? No post by YoKenny about IE8 RC1? It works great on my old PIII and looking forward to when it becomes standard issue. I still do not like Firefox.

Xion44 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 nice read. but i use trend virus and spysweeper which hasnt failed yet. From my prespective, winvista club is a very good forum for all things windows related. They have helped me and many others in the past. Excellent hints and advice!

Corona Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 What? No Antivirus 2008? Oh you simply must! Okay, I'll be nice. Anyone who reads this must avoid malware like Antivirus 2008/2009/etc. like crazy. Don't be fooled. Spysweeper can fall into this category, just beware.
