Re: antivirus/internet security - whats the difference
Anti-virus software just fights viruses, worms and trojans they have signatures for. Internet Security Suites, also include firewalls, anti-spam tools, e-mail protection, and sometimes, other tools for privacy protection. I recommend buying the individual products and making your own "suite". Because typcially a software manufacturer might make the best firewall, but that doesn't mean they make the best anti-spyware, or the best anti-spam. They usually make one great product, then trying to survive and compete, try to offer everything, like "everyone" else in their competitive class does, and you end up with a buch of machine-slowing software.
Practice this policy with Windows - if you don't use it, don't install it.
