2009 World Number 1 Secuirty Suite : Norton !!
I still cann't believe Norton get voted number 1 again consecutively since last year. I am one of those who hates Norton, Symantec for they used to take advantage of user ignorance in the past.
So if you are like me who doesn't really like the big corp for the wrongs they did before, we can still go for the following list
ESET Smart Security
Trend Micro Internet Security Pro 2009
ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 2009
BitDefender Internet Security 2009
of you can take a look at some popular reviews on this topic :
- PC World: Top Internet security suites
- PCMag.com: The best security suites for 2009
- Maximum PC: Antivirus software roundup — protect your PC from guys like this!
Lastly another interesting pattern is that if you search for a virus scan software in google or yahoo, you may end up in some pages who has GREAT offers for their solution. However, some of those are actually virus spreading businesses. Basically they spread some viruses so that when you search for cure for that virus, you will most probably land on their web page rather than Norton, Avast etc. That's how they earn their money as they are good at (1) programming viruses and (2) Internet Marketing skills.
But most major search engines are working actively to filter out these kind of organization hand in hand with FBI so we are ok .... for now.
