Hi all,

I recently installed Trend Micro Internet Security 2009 (minus the Fire wall function because I'm using Sygate) and I've noticed that it's interfering with my ADSL connection (especially when I am doing a video call via Skype/MSN or simple browsing sites such as youtube).

I've shut down the application completely and the video calling and browsing works like a charm... turning it back on will slow everything down.

Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions on how this can be resolved? I dun want to turn it off each time i want to video call friends.

Avira is a good product... Although I feel its scanning engine is one of the slowest I have ever seen.

I prefer Avast FREE for my virus/spyware protection.

I don't use anything more than Windows firewall...

I've heard Comodo is a good firewall to use.

Read here and you'll see that I am not the best person to ask for advice on these products:
