Hey i am looking at either getting Kaspersky or the newer norton security suit. i wanted to know a a general rule when doing a clean install do you
1) Install all your software(legit software nothing hacked) first then security app?
or
2) Do you install security app first then all software?

Thanks Calvinhobbes didn't notice the mistake i made.

Basically after i install my os and drivers. Should my internet security be installed before my software(ie Ms office, Adobe etc etc) or after?

1 and 2 seem to be the same thing. Personally I install all Windows updates/patches and then security app.

My only recommendation would be to install your security suite before connecting to a network. And when you do connect it to the Internet for the first time, your first task should be to patch all of your software.

Or before plugging in a USB stick.

Cool thanks for the replies. Install before there is an internet connection is the only important step (usb memory stick as well)
