Review: ESET Smart Secrity 5 beta

Pros

  • Excellent interface
  • Easy to use
  • Good detection rate

Cons

  • Ambiguous on how to configure automatic firewall
  • Password setup is annoying with interactive firewall
  • Not as many extra features as competitors

Review

After sticking with Avira Security Suite for almost a year a decided it was time for a change. ESET has released a free public beta version of their Smart Security suite and I thought I would give it a whirl. Once downloaded, installation was a breeze. The one thing I didn't get was that it made me set a password for going into setup. It makes sense since it stops random people messing around with your settings but after a while it got REALLY annoying (more on that later).

Review: Kaspersky Internet Security 2010

Introduction

Kaspersky has recently released its 2010 internet security suite. Yes, it is a bit early but none the less it is an excellent product it has a new interface and few new features and one of the best things is that anyone who already has a subscription to the internet suite gets the upgrade for FREE! Bad news is if you don't already have it, it will cost you about $50 per year

Pros

  • Slick new interface
  • Small footprint
  • Lots of customisability options
  • Virtual keyboard

Cons

  • Causes a few network issues
  • Sometimes stops working
  • Deep scan option takes a lot of CPU power and slows the computer down significantly

Overview

Kaspersky's products have typically been some of the best anti virus products on the market. This new suite is no exception. It is easy to use, and will detect almost every virus on your computer if you have one. It will detect viruses with other suites won't pick up and has heaps of features.
