Willeh is on a distinguished road

Default InternetSuite or Firewall + AV

Is there any difference in security between
- A internet security suite
- A separate firewall created by a company that specializes in firewalls and a separate AV by a company '' ''?

depends which program you choose of course! if you choose a crappy firewall from a company that secializes in firewalls and stuff, its still gonna be wors than a good internet security suite. if you can class them like that.

i would say something like NIS 07 is pretty good. It provides good security thats not overly annoying with popup's. However, if your gonna go the Firewall + AV route then you'll find most of them have more features to really lock things down.
