Don't get me wrong, sandboxie's great, you just need to appreciate what it can't do...

You can get the a retail copy of Kaspersky Security Suite at PCWorld for half price at the moment if you order on-line and collect in store.

If you've got more than one PC then the 3 licence version is even better value. The great advantage of these all-in-one packages is that they do a combined job, rather than having to run a number of different, possibly conflicting, piecs of software. I install Kaspersky on every PC that I can & I've had no-one come back with any complaints that their system's been compromised.

Using AVG at the momnet but was thinking about moving to Avira aswell. Do you think it is better than AVG?

Don't take this the wrong way but did you see post 2? I'd really recommend reading that thread.

Have a read of the following thread for a discussion of Anti-Virus software. To summarise I'd say my choice for a free AV is Avira AntiVir.

My choice for a paid AV would either be ESET NOD32 or Kaspersky with, for me, NOD32 winning.

I used to use F Secure but recently switched to Kaspersky as Barclays customers can now get that for free. I must say I am impressed with it so far, it consumes one fifth of the memory usage that F Secure used to use (according to Task Manager) and my PC now boots up in two minutes, whereas it used to take 4 or 5.
