Avira are making a two-year-for-one offer for their Premium Security Suite and I was wondering if this would be worth while.
For the past year or so I have had their Anti Virus Personal Free version and have no problems with that. The paid-for version has extras - anti spy/malware/phishing and FIREWALL etc. At the moment I also have the free versions of SuperAntispyware, Malwarebytes and Windows Firewall, which I presume I would not need if everything was covered by one umbrella, as it were.

Advice appreciated.

I have Windows Vista Home Premium.I use Kasperski Anti Virus, Spyware Blaster for passive malware protection on the browsers, scan with MalwareBytes & SUPER Antispyware every few weeks, and I use a router with a NAT. The only firewall I have is the one provided with Windows. I've never USED a 3RD party firewall. I also create an image of my system partition several times a week (don't overlook the security protection provided by backup images!!).

So to answer your question, if you feel it's worthwhile, then it is. If you're behind a router and use Windows' firewall, it's probably not needed though.i to get the offer but why take it , i have the same security as you plus ccleaner and thats all you need for a clean pc , go to tools and turn on the phishing filter , harrySorry Harry - but once again - ccleaner has nothing to do with security and I still have no idea what a "clean pc" is.Quote from: Allan on December 20, 2009, 01:40:57 PM

Sorry Harry - but once again - ccleaner has nothing to do with security and I still have no idea what a "clean pc" is.

Okay harry - it's Christmas week - I don't want to get into an argument about ccleaner
