Best Anti-virus?

[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.

Avira for me :-
Free antivirus - Avira AntiVir
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.

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.

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

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.

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..
