As for the Firewall, I would recommend Online Armor
Hi Avibky,
If you are not Satisfied with Avast Internet Security then you can give BitDefender a Try ;)
But my Personal Experience with BitDefender was not good. High on Resources.
if you find yourself Comfortable with BitDefender then stay with it :)
Comodo Firewall will be good :)
Bitdefender is a very good antivirus but it is true that it uses high system resources.
Avast is light on the system but i still think that you should try Bitdefender antivirus ones.
I have also used it and it is really very effective.
My firewall suggestion are Zone alarm ,Agnitum Outpost or Online Armor.
i am thinking for an Online armor premium license giveaway by me(win here on AVI's Birthday).
Can someone help me in Organizing this as i haven't hold any giveaway before anywhere.
Thanks in advance.
You can make a new thread about it under Personal Giveaways, make your own rule for the contest :)Quote:

Bitdefender got higher detection rate than Avast in last month's Virus Bulletin test.
I hv got a bitdefender 2011 internetsecurity key IS it good and is it light on resources should install it or not.
Well, if we have someone who uses Bitdefender IS they would have tell you rightly, but unfortunately most of us don't use it. So...... Why don't you try it and tell us if its good or not?:eyebrows:Quote:

just installed bdav on winxp pro on 512mb and it works like a charm

avibky: I recommend you to stay with BitDefender Antivirus as its detection rate is much more better than those most common used Antivirus softwares. The system resources required is higher but it is worthwhile since it really protects your pc and keeps it in utmost and maximum safety and security. But you have to install Firewall as well which you can try your luck to take part in niroop giveaway on Online Armor Personal Firewall.
hakah i got a bdis license key actually im worried about net slowdown by bitdefenders f/w
[lang=ru]Плохо работает с исключениями[/lang]
well avibky don't worry about your net it will work as usual , i have a 2 mbps connection(BSNL) and i am getting 200+ download speed on my system
I had a couple of licenses for BitDefender AV and the suite but when I tried it on XP SP3 it made my system crawl...so I abandoned it. Not tried it in Win7 yet.
