Interesting that they didn't even review
NOD32.
I read the review of Kaspersky (my weapon of choice) and have to agree that its confusing as hell to configure although I think it works better than the author does - nothing gets by Kaspersky. I even get warnings (including the IP address) when anything other than the browser I have open attempts to connect to the internet.
And as a general tip to the class, if the protection software you are running has a registry guard, enable it. If it doesn't, get one that does. A registry guard stops anything from making a change in the registry and asks for approval first. I think Spybot has one.
-----EDIT
Since MSN didn't think NOD32 was worth reviewing, I was not surprised to learn that opinions vary. Check out this
side-by-side comparison.
