Kasperkey AV is good.

Actually there are many good ones. Use PCMag.com or ZDNet.com reviews to select. But make sure that you use only one AV.

In my opinion Norton anti virus 2007 or Norton internet security 2007 is the best available .............i personally use it and recommend it to everybody

Default Kc

hi,
first of all i am sorry bcuz i was not able to reply as i was out of station.

NOW comming back to the point , I used Panda Antivirus and it deducted 6 spyware and blocked them but i was not able to deleate them.
Then i uninstall panda and used Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0
it deleated all trogens but it still shows some System files as currupted.

today i experience that my computer is performing slow and then it hanged twice
has it got anything to do with currupted files.

should i use any other software along with antivirus and window firewall
if any please recomend

thanks for the reply

Your system files may have been corrupted beyond redemption. You should use only one AV software at a time. You can install Zone Alarm firewall also.

thankzz for all the help to all of u.....

I am using kaspersky antivirus with this u recomended Zone Alarm Firewall

Now my question is
1- Is it safe to use Zone Alarm Firewall with Antivirus when there is already window firewall installed in the computer and can both be installed simultaneously?

2- What is the difference between ccleaner , Zone Alarm Firewall , glary utilities and which one is better?
