Thanks for the replies.
I can see many good recommendations coming from all of you. However, I recently talked with my friend's aunt and she is too paranoid to install anything that is downloadable from the internet for her anti-virus <_<.
So, any of you know a good anti-virus + firewall software that can be bought from store :lol: ?
I know a lot of people use Norton or McAfee. What are the strong points and weaknesses from the two software packages? How long after the purchase can you still update the virus definition?
She wanted both anti-virus and firewall bundled in the software. I checked a few online shops, and all of them sell anti-virus and firewall separately. Are they usually sold separately? What is the normal price for such software if it exists at all? If you know another software package that has reasonable price, good features, and good security, please recommend one for me.
I apologize for the long questions; I'm not really familiar with buying anti-virus software.
