    Hi just wondering if its better to have a security suite say Kasperskey or Antivir vs having Kaspersky or antivir just as anti virus's and a separate firewall?

    Im looking for whatever uses less computer resources.

    I really don't know if one is truly better than the other. I have the Kaspersky suite and I've had absolutely no problems whatsoever. It runs in the background and I never really even know it's on. The first time I ran it, it found and removed a threat. Other than that, I never even think about it.
