Hello,

I'm looking to buy a complete protection software bundle, mostly to protect myself against viruses, hacking, phishing, adware, spyware and the likes.

My situation is as follows:
1 desktop PC, with a ADSL modem connect to the wireless router, which in turn is wired connected to the desktop
2 notebook PC's that share the files in and internet connection of the desktop PC through wifi.

I'm considering one of these:
Norton 360
Norton Internet Security
McAfee total protection

Which one should I buy? Any advice?

I tried Mcafee a month or so ago and did not like it therefore my suggestion would be Norton 360. But that's just me.

I use McAfee Internet Security Suite with SiteAdvisor 2008. Free with my Comcast High Speed Internet. So far, has kept me protected. Want I don't like, is how long it takes to scan my system. Norton scans much faster. Both Norton and McAfee are bloated programs, heavy on system resources. Slow your system down. However, if I had to make a choice between the two, I'd select Norton Internet Security.

For myself, I'd choose BitDefender, as the best integrated security program.

Close seconds are: AVG Internet Security, ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 6, or Avira Premium Security Suite.
