Internet security?

At work today, my colleague is asking me on internet security solution. Which is better, PC cillin or kaspersky internet security.

My reply was kaspersky. Reason being i tried the product before and it is good on saving system resources; not that my notebook is too slow but if it can do more with less, why not. I tried Norton Internet security before and my notebook is crawling even with 2GB DDR-2 Ram!

Anyway for those who are not so 'IT on', internet security solution is anti-virus, anti-spam, parental control, application control, anti-phishing and client firewall all round into one product. It is more economical and offer a single point of configuration.

But end of the day, it is not a silver bullet. the user still needs to configure it and sometimes, it can be so problematic, users just switch off all the protection in exchange for fast, no fuss internet connection.

if interested to know more about how the different vendors mix against each other, go to a third party independence vendor neutral website like www.virusbtn.com.
