Just bought a new laptop. It came with Trend Micro Titanium - 30 day trial.
So I need to decide on what Anti-virus software to use.
I'm leaning towards ZoneAlarm extreme or the Trend Micro. Zonealarm has the best firewall in my experience but Trend Micro blocks specific information that the user lists from ever leaving your PC without permission. I tried it out with my email address. Once site I trusted tried to suck my email address off my PC and TM blocked it and asked permission to release. Another time I gave it permission. Useful feature.
I've used both Norton and McAfee in the past. McAfee is a non-starter. Norton is currently on my wife's desktop and its better than it used to be but isn't ahead of ZA or TM.
Any other packages y'all might recommend and if so why?
Got to make a decision soon as both TM and ZA are currently 1/2 off which makes $80 packages $40.
