It does depend on if you want to pay or not.

The free security packages are very good value for money but they normally have less features than the paid for packages and don't normally fare so well in the detection tests.

IMHO the best free package is Commodo

And the best paid for packages are kasparsky and Norton (yes they really have improved it that much recently!)

hi i just looked at kapersky on the internet. theres the all in 1 internet security for 39.99 quid, or the 29.99 anti-virus plus 4.99 for extended download.
i only use my laptop for this website, emailing mates, and some surfing. so which one should i go for?

If you look around .. you can do a download install of Norton 2010 AV with license code up to 3-pcs with 2 years, all updates, incl support for £15. I have just found twice for two customers to replace what I think is over-rated AVG Free.

Hi

Here's one .. although extra Firewall with Internet Security (switch off Windows Firewall) ... This contains NAV 2010. You download, they send you the card.
