Choosing an Internet Security Suite

[Shaqo_Wyn]

Hey bro's,

 

As the title says, I'm looking for help with deciding on a paid internet security suite. 

Had Norton Internet Security for the past three years and it's been great, but I'm looking to try something new.

 

I've narrowed it down to Bitdefender Internet Security 2015 and Kapersky Internet Security 2015.

 

Which one should I get and why?

They seem to both be consistent winners of the top spots in test but I'm looking to hear about hidden cons (poor customer support for example) etc.

I've read that Bitdefender's firewall is crap. True or nah?

 

Please spare me the common sense + Windows defender remarks, my work includes it in the benefits so why not?

Price is not a factor because both cost the same for me.

 

Thanks,

 

Shaqo

i prefer bitdefender personally

both are excellent in my opinion

bitdefender is stronger, but actually slows the computer down due to how often it scans stuff (literally every google search will be a good 3 seconds slower)

kaspersky is pretty strong aswell, but not as active as bit defender.

Both handle actual virus removal well, as kaspersky has a scan mode in which allows nothing to occur during a scan (such as opening a browser, letting the virus due nothing before it is removed) but I have no idea if bitdefender can do this.

Thanks! Mind elaborating a bit please?

Thanks! Okay, wow if it slows down Google searches that a problem.. I was under the impression that Bitfender was the least system tasking. Can you turn down this activeness without losing protection?

I usually had the Norton webpage app disabled too because it kept crashing and stuff.

 

So which one would you go with?
