I'm looking to rebuild my PC and, as my anti-virus/firewall (i.e.
"integrated security") is up for renewal in the next couple of weeks, I
thought I would look at alternatives to my current provider.

For years, I used Symantec/Norton Internet Security until I decided it
was bloatware, so that got binned in favour of Kaspersky.

Now, I'm not unhappy with Kaspersky (although it does seem to favour
downloading from its servers at a stupidly low bit-rate), but I'm not
wedded to it either.

I'm happy to pay for this type of product (I somehow don't feel that, in
this area, a free product can be the best product on the market - I may
well be wrong).

So I've been trawling t'internet for recommendations, but it's hard
going, what with there being so many scare sites out there and not being
able to clearly separate biased from unbiased reviews, so I thought I
would solicit comments and recommendations from the lads and lasses here.

I'm definitely not switching back to Symantec or to McAfee.

Currently under consideration a

- stick with Kaspersky.
- try Bitdefender.

All comments/recommendations gratefully received.

Cheers,
