  1. Looking for antivirus with more user choice.


    So I am currently using Bitdefender, and one of my biggest complaints is that when Bitdefender thinks it finds malware, it either auto deletes it, or auto-quarantines it. This creates a lot of hassle since these events have always been false positives, and sometimes the file becomes corrupted when I remove it from Bitdefender's quarantine, meaning I have to re-download it and hope I can add it to exceptions before Bitdefender flags it again.

    So what, in your opinions, are the best antiviruses that gives the user choice as to what to do when a threat is detected?

    Current active users that are friends

    The other reason I suggested this is that users can add characters to their username that are not alphanumeric (e.g. user*). This confuses things somewhat when looking at the list.

  3. Good Antivirus + Firewall

    I would never put anything Norton on my computer.

    Nod32 is arguably the best antivirus. AVG is likely not as good, but it's free and at least pretty good.

    Firewalls, I'd put Comodo and whatever "Tiny Personal Firewall" is named nowadays on your short list. I think Kerio might have sold it now and it's named something else. Otherwise, just put Comodo on your short list. I think the current version's ease of use has taken a step backwards, seems a bit counter-intuitive when trying to do certain things with it, but overall it does a good job and the price is right.
