 ·WOW Internet and..
| Probably switching providers I'll be moving soon and TWC is my only option in the boonies (hate to say goodbye to WOW). From what I understand, they are using McAfee now for their free internet security. How is it? It's been a while since I've used McAfee and I hated it. It really slowed down my system. Right now I have a subscription with Kaspersky but it is ending in about a month. Comments please. |

kudos:1 | I've used McAfee too and I don't like it, too demanding on computer resources. I've used bitdefender, norton, trend micro and many others.
Kaspersky and ESET are my favorites especially ESET that use very little computer resources. |

Microsoft Security Essentials + Windows Firewall + Router + Common Sense.
I fail to see the point of anything else on a typical home set up.

i use avast its the bomb. its free and all you have to do re-register it every year. it doesn't slow the system down to bad. all anti virus software slows the system down at some point tho. also you can upgrade it the internet Security for 50 bucks not a bad price. here a link to download avast. »www.avast.com/get/ey4CxnPO

Microsoft Security Essentials has fallen out of favor in some of the latest anti-virus ratings. I am not sure about McAfee's programs.
I run Norton Internet Security (it can be had for some very cheap prices...check Google shopping) and Malwarebytes Pro. Starting with NIS 2009, Symantec made some wholesale changes to their anti-virus and security suite programs. And in each succeeding version, the program has only gotten better. It installs in two minutes or less, doesn't hog system resources and it does an excellent job of protecting your system. It is also very configurable with easy to find options. It is at least worth a try in my opinion. The Norton of old was terrible. This is not anything like those old versions. |

If you can get your hands on it, Symantec Endpoint Protection is the absolute best.
Talking about no noticeable resource usage! |

Anti-virus? People still use those things? Did I accidentally step into a time portal to the 1990's? |
