kaspersky and bitdefender protection with zone free antivirus and 360 IS

[budda]

Hello i have bitdefender total security key but unfortunately bitdefender gave me errors with offline file so i downloaded zone alarm free firewall with antivirus which uses kaspersky engine and 360 internet security which uses bitdefender engine along with malwarebytes ...So is this good enough to protect my pc ? I used btdfender for more than 1 year and i am satisfied with the product but because i installed windows 8.1 and i tried to install it but the offline file which is 500 mb also failed to install the product before so i am using this new set up....Can any one recommend me any thing or is it good enough ?

Zone alarm + 360 internet security with malwarebytes..

You don't need or want two antivirus programs running at the same time. Uninstall one of them, 360 or ZoneAlarm.

[MISSYOU]

kaspersky and bitdefender are best

Go to malwaretips.com, they will give you good advice :yes:

@budda

I see you had using bitdefender for more than 1 year, and now you're on W8.1 certainly you love Kaspersky,

so I recommend you switch to Kaspersky Internet Security and Malwarebytes as the mate. for KIS either KIS 2013

or KIS 2014 and Malwarebytes you can use the latest, but me prefer to malwarebytes 1.75.

PS: don't take my words, you can check by your self eg: malwaretips etc

other option, if you stick with BD It's OK and malwarebytes as mate.
for BD choose Total Security with BD more easy find the Key than KIS. edited

Thank you for the replies but instead of using kaspersky or bitdefender i am using the ones which are using their engines..I know kaspersky manual trial reset but it always pops up the remaining number of days so i decided not to use that even though kaspersky is the best..Regarding bitdefender total security i have the keys but unfortunately it failed on windows 8.1 ( offline file) when installing and i tried to remove it but none of the uninstallers worked..so i had to format it again and i installed windows 8.1 again...So i now installed 360 internet security which uses bitdefender engine and zone free alarm firewall with antivirus which uses kaspersky engine so this set up is as good as bitdefender or kaspersky intermet security suites?

I used zone alarm for 2 reasons because it uses kaspersky and second thing 360 internet security didn't have any firewall

I'll say it again, you do NOT want two different AV's running at the same time.

They can and will interfere with each other and cause some nice system slowdown.

My recommendations:

Firewall: Windows Firewall Control. Works like ZoneAlarm's firewall but is only 312 KB and uses the built in Windows firewall.

There's really no need to use an entirely different software firewall.

Antivirus: Avira Free Antivirus. It's free and requires no cracks/trial resets/etc. It offers protection as good as Kaspersky & Bitdefender.

http://www.av-comparatives.org/dynamic-tests/

That combination will give you the protection you're looking for, with the added benefits of being extremely light on resources. Pair them with Malwarebytes and you're all set.

You're right..sometime we forgot that windows has given us a good enough firewall

but for sure..added by 3rd party firewall. nothing more than take up your CPU ram resources

after that your PC going slow..even let's say you have big RAM..but it's not efficient..and best way...and useless

end up to your knowledge and experience. :D edited

Regarding two antivirus products on one system if you install the ones which are compatible then its fine..The reason i installed two antivirus is for more security..One uses kaspersky engine another uses bitdefender if any one of the engine misses one threat other will catch it because they both are the best ..As far as slow downs my system didn't slowed down if compared with bitdefender total security 2014 so not a big problem..

Imo you're overdoing it. Unless you're visiting some pretty shady sites, there's no need for both.

Security snake oil No. 3: 100 percent accurate antivirus softwareAlso akin to the claim of unbreakable software is the claim from multiple vendors that their anti-malware detection is 100 percent accurate. And they almost all say this detection rate has been "verified independently in test after test." Ever wonder why these buy-once-and-never-worry-again solutions don't take over the world? It's because they're a lie. No anti-malware software is, or can be, 100 percent accurate. Antivirus software wasn't 100 percent accurate when we only had a few viruses to contend with, and today's world has tens of millions of mutating malware programs. In fact, today's malware is pretty good at changing its form. Many malicious programs use "mutation engines" coupled with the very same good encryption mentioned above. Good encryption introduces realistic randomness, and malware uses the same properties to hide itself.

Plus, most malware creators run their latest creations against every available anti-malware program before they begin to propagate, and then they self-update every day. It's a neverending battle, and the bad guys are winning. Some vendors, using general behavior-detection techniques known as heuristics and change-detecting emulation environments, have valiantly tried to up their accuracy. What they've discovered is that as you enter the upper ranges of detection, you run into the problem of false positives. As it turns out, programs that detect malware at extremely accurate rates are bad at not detecting legitimate programs as malicious. Show me a 100 percent accurate anti-malware program, and I'll show you a program that flags nearly everything as malicious. Even worse, as accuracy increases, performance decreases.

Some antivirus programs make their host systems so slow that they're unusable. I know users who would rather knowingly compute with active malware than run antivirus software. With tens of millions of malware programs that must be checked against hundreds of thousands of files contained on a typical computer, doing a perfectly accurate comparison would simply take too long. Anti-malware vendors are acutely aware of these sad paradoxes, and, in the end, they all make the decision to be less accurate. Counterintuitively, being less accurate actually helps security vendors sell more of their products. I don't mean that lowered accuracy allows malware to propagate, thereby ensuring security vendors can sell more software. It's that the trade-offs of extremely accurate anti-malware detection are unacceptable to those shopping for security software. And if you do find yourself buying the claim of 100 percent accuracy, just don't ask your vendor to put it in writing or ask for a refund when something slips by. They won't back the claim.
