Ive been very pleased with BitDefender these last 2 years of using it on my XP machines. Im trying it now on my new lappie with Vista.

It would be nice of you to update this by adding reviews of the Zone Labs security suite and the new Microsoft Live OneCare suite.

What about adding information about Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security?

This was helpful. Now how about a review of how much of a resource "Hog" the major Security Suites are and how much they slow down "online experience?"
Can vouce for fact that McAfee full suite definately slows down many web page loads with a fairly new dual Pentium D Intel processor setup running XP. Some days it updates twice so must have very current proection data. Haven't had any "bad things" happen to computer in last 8 months since installed, so must be working.

1. Move anything that could compromise you to offline storage. A reasonable capacity USB Flash drive works great for this, and can be stored in a discreet location away from your PC in case you have a break in. Keep it PHYSICALLY SECURE.

2. Only connect and mount that storage when you need it. Unmount and remove it when you're done with it.

3. If you're paranoid, unplug the network cable when you do mount the drive.

4. Don't let the PC remember any important passwords 'for you'. There is no such thing as a secure way to cache passwords. NONE. If you can't remember them, put them on a text file on that external drive for future reference.

There, isn't that easy? You're 100% protected, and I saved you who knows how much cash for software that isn't worth the disk it's stamped on.

Evil spyware can't shoot your tax records and bank account passwords up to the bad guys if it's not there to be forwarded. Make sure you remember your passwords and turn off ANY form of password caching in your browser or email client. After a while, you hardly notice typing the stuff in.

On a notebook PC for instance, if it gets stolen out of your car, it won't have ANYTHING sensitive on it. So no worries, other than your notebook got stolen and your car probably has a broken window.

Just to add to what Evildave said:

If you MUST keep sensitive info on your laptop (or your desktop, for that matter), use, at a minimum, AES 128 bit encryption, and shut the machine down (not sleep or hibernate, but completely off) a few minutes before leaving it.

The Trend Micro Internet Security 2008 PRO version has a keystroke encryptor that runs in Internet Explorer. Any names, passwords, credit card numbers etc. are encrypted while typing thus protecting from a potential keylogger.

Where does Nod32 stand in relation to these "big boys"?
