Best Anti-virus?

[steelegde]

What would you say was the best anti-virus around?
I say Kaspersky Internet Security:congrats:

[thered]

honestly i would say avast and its free

i have tried kaspersky i think it takes up too much resources same with norton or mcafee

i used to like avg but i now find avast better

[cantona7]

gotta say have not tried kapersky(but will look at it)

i've got avg and it does what it says on the label so to

speak so i'm happy with it

:boxing:

[portbhoy]

Avast, every time ;)

[Devilfish]

There's a good site here...

AntiVirus Software Review 2008 - TopTenREVIEWS (http://anti-virus-software-review.toptenreviews.com/)

I use ZoneAlarm, not that impressed with it but can't be bothered changing lol.

[harry1986]

Kapsersky the best s far

[shady77]

avg, small, does what it says on the tin.

[aftermath]

you cant go wrong using NOD32, i was that impressed with it that i am now paying for it lol , bet i get some stick for that lol

i know what is the worst IMO and thats " Norton Antivirus " it realy takes over your PC and slows it right down.

[firestorm]

i ve tried norton agv and kaspa but i like nod the best

[shady77]

i like your avatar the the most

[firestorm]

i bet you would get a virus or two of her lol

[shady77]

nah, i'm sure she a good christian girl

[cantona7]

she would be worth a course of pennicillin i thinks:devil::devil:

[cralittlewood]

Another vote for Kaspersky here, been using it for a couple of years and am very impressed.

[mpeg]

avg 8.0 every time works a treat

[Skiboy]

Been using Norton for years and decided to change to Esset Nod32 and must say it's far better and just does it's job quitely in the background.

[GATOS45]

nod32 is the best

[andy4]

AVG 8.0 for me

[ticticboom]

yeah like avg 8.0 woks nice with vista others seem 2 slow the system down whats a good free spyware ive got spywareterminatior its ok but anyone can reccomend a better one :D

[Specially]

Avast..for me... http://www.cosgan.de/images/more/bigs/a025.gif

[clarkieboy]

Avira for me :-
Free antivirus - Avira AntiVir (http://www.free-av.com/)
Free and if you do the following you can remove the nag update popup.
-Go to start.
-Settings
-Control panel
-Administrative tools
-Local security policy (If you want to get fancy, you can probably do this through a domain policy if you are on a domain)
- Software restriction policies
- Right click additional Rules
- Select new path rule
- Browse to the avnotify.exe program and set to restrict.

Try to go open that file and you should get an error that execution has been disabled for this file.

This will stop the annoying popup.

Viv@ !

[abdell1982]

nod 32 is the best

[ljondov]

nod 32
:top:

[smokey_jnr]

it's between nod 32 and and avg 8..... but run perfectly in the background..

[kevbroughton]

The best ultimate security i would recommend is:

Avast - Anti Virus

Malwarebytes.org Anti Malware

Rogue Remover

Zone Alarm Firewall

Arovax Anti Spyware

Super Anti Spyware

Advanced Windows Care

RegSeeker

Ccleaner

Then you could use things like spybot and adaware for backups.

There are tons out there but all the above are free and very effective at there job, if you need any software for anything else just give me a shout.

[.: JaCkPoT :.]

My frozen 4462 day nod32 anti virus trial is the best. The trial days dont even count down.

have to agree i have tried most of these and find these versions are as good if not better than the top payed ones one thing i would add though is i find commodo firewall far superior it is also free

[kevbroughton]

yes commodo is a good free firewall as well, the built in malware scanner is not very good, however the firewall very rarely leeks to any attacks so yes this is also a good free firewall.

I did not mention before but there are a number of rootkits you can download as backup as well, commodo do one which is good, however i would recommend panda, note rootkits should be very rare on your pc as long as you regulary use malwarebytes anti malware.

Little tip: AVG anti root kit takes up alot of system resources.

i use kaspersky and malwarebytes.

[caveman_nige]

Have been using the AVG for quite a while now. Only uses one core to run any scans etc so the machine runs happily using the other core.. Have no real probs with it on any of my sigle core machines as well.

Its horses for courses really, will only say that Symantec was arse, slowed down any box and missed many virus events that AVG found... I have McAfee as well on another box, not very impressive.. Stick with a good free ones, there is no direct support but the products are as good as the subbed versions..

[BigBalloon]

avg pro.....been usin for a couple of years and never had any probs

[nano_watt]

I have Zone Alarm pro with 15794 days of the trial left and I am not complaining. It has served me well for three items Firewall; Antivirus and Antispyware. Touch wood I havn't had any problems with any of those nasties. However I have heard there are nasties like rootkits which none of the present Anti-spyware/virus can detect. Once they enter your computer there is noway of detecting it . The only solution I have seen is to boot your Pc using a cd based Linex OS and then do a sweep through your pc . The reason you can detect them this way is that you are not loading anything from the hard drive hence the rootkit cannot morph into something else and or divert attention away from itself. Ok its not intelegent but it seems to behave that way.


:sleep:

[DJDiablo]

NOD32 is the best!

[aqy007]

Hi,

Been using this for a while now as my company also used it and seems to have worked well so far. Anyone else used this one?

[bugaloo41]

nod32 gets rave reviews - symantec corporate never let me down

[igsy]

kaspersky for me too

[andiewill]

AVG for me along with Spyware Terminator (free),this terminator picked up things no other has to date, but i also keep AVG running to compliment it.

[pedst]

avast antivirus and comodo firewall. both free

[SKYTON]

yes eset is the best for me

[DeLuXe]

Kaspersky and NOD32 is truly great Anti-Virus softwares but right now I dont use any except Windows 10 stock security and even that is disabled :D :)
My recommendations are those two.

Best regards,
DeLuXe

[F4STuning]

Kaspersky internet security in my opinion is the best

[mirrorelis]

Best for me is window defender + malwarebytes

[jetdede]

for me still kasperksy

[jarvismaster]

I use the Defender since Windows 7... for me is the best

[MrLuki]

Kasperksy but I'm not using any AV for over 2/3 years.
Even Win 10 security is disabled.

Too many problems with AV

[kobra11]

NOD 32:party : every time ;)

[crouchinggerbil]

Dont watch pron and you will be alright :toss:

[Hammy2k]

Kaspersky or AVG

[todor989]

Nod32, definitely.

[joycespeed]

I am using McAfee for years now. Every year I renew my subscription, it's been 5 years and so far my computer and laptop are still secured.

[belgranostore]

NOd32, I use Internet security but it is increasingly difficult to enable it without paying the subscription

[silvo]

I have Avast, but don't know if it's the best...

[MartinLuther]

Esset is what I prefer



What would you say was the best anti-virus around?
I say Kaspersky Internet Security:congrats:

[Bausles]

Best antivirus is no antivirus. They are stupid and just check stuff against a database. Definitely do not pay for antivirus, windows defender is more than enough and I even disable it because it is stupid. On Linux, which is what I run the most, I don't use antivirus (pretty much all Linux systems don't include one by default either).

[jefferson30]

For those who can check for virus manually, no antivirus is good for them but for me, default antivirus is way better than third party apps.

[WJeep]

Hi ,

When i download a soft from an unknow source , i always dowload it from a linux computer and Scan it with ClamAV .
On Windows computer i use Comodo internet security and it's very good.

[vagcode013]

Best antivirus is to be smart when downloading + windows security ON. I dont have problems for years

[johnnz]

I use Malwarebytes for a long time.

[mur3633]

I use stock Windows 10 antivirus long time, never had any problems. As someone said be careful and that's it. Also adblock in browser is good thing, because it blocks popups and stupid ads.

[varjudeemon]

Avast Premium is the best.You can buy licence for like 1 year for like 3 euros,on key sites.and allmost every time you get licence for vpn alos.u get antivirus and vpn combo.
