What are Parallels users using for Internet Security in their WinXP environment? I gather Parallels comes with something called "Kaspersky Internet Security" -- has anybody tried that, does that foot the bill? I would prefer to do a minimum of web surfing and no e-mail at all in my WinXP environment (if I can avoid it), but it's inevitable that some is going to happen, like when I just updated the program I just installed. So, what what are you all using? --PS
I use my hardware router as a firewall. I use AVG from Grisoft as an antivirus program. It is free for non-commercial use.
Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition. It stays out of the way and doesn't bog down your system with useless utilities like the consumer editions.
Kaspersky, Then ... I think I'll try that, since it came bundled with Parallels. I've used AVG on one of my other machines, it's OK too. I was a loyal NortonAV (etc) user for a long time, but lately I'm feeling about the same way about Norton/Symantec that I feel about MS/Windows. So.... last millennium. What about Internet Security for the Mac itself? I know it's more secure, less prone to viruses, etc but.. still, does anybody use a third-party security program for e-mail and browsing? I mean, if I start using Firefox (or perish the thought, Internet Explorer for Mac, which I might), so I want to think about some protection? --PS
I am using Intego VirusBarrier X4 on the Mac side. I believe they also make an internet security product. They are expensive but highly rated in the reviews I have read.
