Security Suite vs independent

I think I found a question not asked!

OK question, is there a difference between a Suite of Security vs Stand alones. Example of ESET, NORTON, MCAFEE, KASPERSKY, GDATA Suite (antispam/av/firewall ALL IN ONES) vs COMODO (firewall), ZONEALARM (firewall), AVAST (av/spam), MSE (av/spam), AVIRA (av/spam), SPYBOT (av/spam), MALWAREBYTES (av/spam), SUPERANTISPYWARE (av/antispam) etc... To name a few.

  1. Is it better to have 1 Suite or multiple programs or is not serious? that is, they all use about the same amount of ram when you add them.

  2. There is a significant speed difference? that is not the same program and won't crash the same.

  3. Possible benefits with multiple vendors? i.e. ZA/Comodo may be a better choice of firewall.

  4. Free vs paid has already been discussed, but would like to mention that, even if the paid versions have more features, they always use the same deffinitions.

-Pete

- as a note, I used Avast and ZA for years and never had isses. I had the following ESET now for about a year and also had no problem. I can't make this call as ZA/AVAST has been used under the ESET Suite on a better PC Win7 and XP. Impossible to prove it to me. So I'm here to ask the PROS-

It's really the user and how he wants his system to be free 'scratch '. As examples:

1. I have a gaming platform and I wouldn't one of these alert messages, notifications and any resource hogging disturb my game experience so I'll use a stand-alone AV on it.

2 on my laptop that I use and bring to work and public places, I use a suite of AV well balanced that will warn me if there was something wrong.

3. on my Virtual Machines in another system that I use most often for browsing, streaming and research, I use various combinations of AV / AM products which may a complete picture me to all statistics, the notice or alert that I needed.

So we leave that to the preference and the way of life of the consumer. There are of course system adequacy to support a suite or stand-alone AV / AM.

  • Recommended Security Suite for Firefox 25. Using Mcafee Security Center 12.8 worm, I was wondering if I should change to Bitdefender or Kaspersky? Any suggestion

    Have 2 Win 8 machines, running Firefox 25 and a laptop with Win 7. All three are using Mcafee Security Suite ver 12.8 with Anti Virus 16.8. The subscription runs out in February 2014. I would like to make a change and I'm concerned about compatibility with Firefox worm 25 issues. Are there problems of compatibility with Bitdefender Security of Windows 8? Are there problems of compatibility with Kaspersky Internet Security 2013 or Pure 3.0 Total Security? If I make changes on the security Suites, I'll use the same version on Win 8 and Win 7 machines. All three will use Firefox 25. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  • My Norton security suite and the toolbar Norton will work with the new Firefox?

    A previous version of Firefox eliminated my Norton toolbar and I had to reload an older version of Firefox to get it back. I've been reluctant to upgrade to newer versions of Firefox because of this problem. You are now compatible with Norton?

    It depends on what version on Norton you have: I have Norton Security Suite (not to be confused with Norton 360). Free Norton Security Suite is available to Comcast customers. Updates following Norton Security seem to be a bit behind Norton 360. Norton said currently their Norton 360 product can be updated using Live Update and the toolbar does not work in Firefox 22, but this does not seem to solve the problem of the toolbar with Norton Security Suite. It is a very frustrating issue that is causing me does not want to update to Firefox.

  • Norton Toolbar does not work with Firefox 17, provided Comcast Norton Security Suite, Win 7.

    I have Norton Security Suite provided by Comcast. Norton Toolbar does not work with Firefox 17.0.1 on my Win 7 machine. I lived all the questions on this topic and did all the steps and when I click on "Add-ons", he always says that the toolbar is not compatible. It works with IE, but I prefer to use Firefox.

    I had the same problem in the past. If you call customer Norton service toll-free they have always helped me start (without charges) when I have updated to a new version of Firefox - seems to happen every time even if I run the updates regularly. Hope that this phone help-Norton support is always very friendly and helpful-just Google their 800 number.

  • Satellite A100: Reinstalling Symantec Internet Security Suite

    Hello

    I tried to renew the subscription on security Internet from Symantec (Norton) after that 3 months free OEM subscription expired on my Toshiba A100 Satellite, but after I paid and everything that I could not subsequently confirmed the renewal and the security suite and the confirmation of the renewal of Symantec told me to uninstall the suite and reinstall.

    I managed to uninstall - question is how can I reinstall? I can't find the file of re-installation anywhere. Symantec support they told me to refer to the Toshiba support... How can I do?

    Hello

    This is an OEM version which is available for 3 months. As far as I know after 3 months, you have no privileges for updates and you should buy an original version.
    By elsewhere all applications of this are part on the image of Toshiba and it s not possible to install only one program.

    You must reinstall the entire image.

  • I have the latest Firefox installed on an older Dell and the CA security suite through my ISP, that takes up all my CPU and causes everything to freeze when I try to access its features. I need a free internet security software that my so tax system

    Have old Dell Dimension 32/bit with Win XP Prof 2002. I installed the security suite CA from my ISP, which is a huge program and uses 100% CPU on starting and stopping, slowing everthing at a snails pace. I deleted evrything I need not using 30 days free Revo Unistaller Pro, but when I try to access the CA firewall to add programs to the exemption, it opens, then freezes tabbed Firefox and nothing else. Can not even stop from the start menu. I want to get rid of all (even if it's a good program, it's too big) and return to my Win Firewall(or another better free firewall that's good for more than 30 days trial) and some other internet security free program that is easy, runs in background and does not all my resources and is not just a 30 day free trial until you purchase the program. I also try to install a wireless adapter, so I can drop my ISP and use the free city/county signal as no work for 20 months!

    This has happened

    == Trying CA security firewall access Suite

    I am the original poster, and I got rid of CA Security Suite & and loaded the Avast! who has some interesting features, even on the freeware. No more crashes or freeze & yes I think there is a problem with CA & Firefox, but don't know what it is. It was a big big time eater. I also got rid of my ISP and installed an Intellinet Wireless G PCI Card & am now entirely wireless on my PC. More quickly by far than what I was paying $50 / month for & I use my Windows Firewall.

  • Satellite L550: BIOS settings after upgrade of security suite

    I have two of my machines restarted two nights there after an upgrade to my security suite.

    Now my office restarted without a hitch and the upgrade went through without incident.
    However my L550 rebooted to a screen called "Phoenix SecureCore Tiano Setup" and I notice in the BIOS system Toshiba 1.70.

    Now knowing what to do, I ran across the screens that lists the components that were in the machine and after that just after the installation itself.
    Now the machine reboot ok and it seems to work more quickly - I have no beef with that, but I would have thought that Toshiba would have warned me that it was about to happen.

    I'm a bit experienced user and vaguely knowing what can be done with the BIOS settings and not knowing how to do these were my insides run at a gallop.

    What is the go with that?
    I now have to Phoenix BIOS instead of Toshiba and it's this kind of thing is going to happen in the future as a warning would be really appreciated by people like me!

    Hello

    Support L550 Phoenix BIOS but its modified by Toshiba.
    It s nothing unusual each laptop manufacturer to set the BIOS for the purposes of the laptop.
    To be honest I n t have any experience with the Phoenix SecureCore Tiano and cannot say anything about the modified BIOS options. However, each BIOS can be set to the default settings.
    So in all cases, you are able to load the default options in the BIOS.

    I'm not sure what button you press to get the default settings (I guess that F10) but this info is always mentioned at the bottom of the BIOS screen.

    Get rid of PC Cleaner

    I'm trying to download Security Suite from my provider and I get a message that I have to get rid of PC Cleaner. I searched my PC and that you do not find PC Cleaner. If I don't know how I'll remove it. Thanks for your help. The only reference to PC Cleaner is the Microsoft Security on the PC.

    Go to add/remove programs and see if PC Cleaner is in the list. If so, then click to remove.
    Then go into Windows Explorer. Research on Windows/System32 and see fi there is pcsd.dll and delete it.
    Then go to regedit and search for any mention of PC Cleaner, PC Cleaner and remove these entries.

    Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.

    Then see if you still get an error of PC Cleaner.

  • Bug from Microsoft which blocks the installation of McAfee Security Suite

    Verizon and McAfee tec support worked with a problem on my pc, it just got a new hard drive and a new installation of XP installed, not to mention the 200 updates, including service packs 1,2,3. I never had no problems installing or running the McAfee products until 17 days ago. Between myself, McAfee and Verizon tec support, McAfee Security Suite has been reloaded 48 times. During each load, not an error or warning appears, the hard drive acts like it is written for and downloads are all successful, when you close the installation following the instructions once the installation completes, it not there no trace of McAfee on the hard drive accept for some temporary files and some registry entries.

    After the last attempt to McAfee to install a new problem exists, during the verification of your license and your password, bothe the name and the password are incorrect. I have 2 other PC running XP both have Security Suite installed on them and they would be well if the bug was introduced as reciently like 2 months ago, some first encrypted in Microsoft updates, I discovered that more then a thousand other people have this problem.

    We used highly som software sofisicated of security registry and found no bugs, we used as several other safety analysis software on this pc and found nothing so it's new and directly to McAfee as other security software, for example. Norton, work very well. I would suggest to Microsoft to go threw your online updates and find a worm attached to one or more updates that activates this question. I have went up to now download the setup of each update of Microsoft and ran an individual scan on each update but nothing has been found that is why I really think it's the combination code through a number of updates that creates this bug and bring it to life.

    Only Microsoft has all the updates with the original code, they must go threw each update and find the configurations added / changed on their updates to resolve this problem, I would muself, but I'm not entittled to access the database of Microsoft where the original code was stored and compare it to the code distributed by Microsof'ts 'SECURE UPDATE DATABASE ".

    DOES ANYONE HAVE A LIST OF A LINK THAT HAS MICROSOFT WHO CAN RUN A SCAN ON THEIR SOFTWARE FOR ERRORS LIKE NO OTHER SECURITY SOFTWARE DETECTS MICROSOF'TS UPDATES THAT ARE CURRENTLY ON THE WEB NEXT TO THE ORIGINAL SOFTWARE SAVED ILS?
