DungeoN 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2005 Symantec AV corporate edition. Contrary to what people say about Symantec, it is superb. No resource problems. In any case, what is important to you, protection, or a bit of memory? Though it uses less of your system than some claimed slim AV products.Never caused a single problem in three years of using it.

solankyno1 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2005 I don't know which is the best anti-virus but I am sure that Norton is not the best. I was using it for 8 months but it was a resource hog. My system used to take a lot of time in booting. And when I scan a file I could not do any other task on my pc because lack of RAM. Last week I have replaced it with AVAST Home Edition and I am pretty happy. If I will feel some problem later than I will try AVG Free. I have searched a lot on internet before my decison and found that people are in favour of Avast than AVG so only I have choose AVAST over AVG. Anybody has good comparison of both of them them please shere here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canute24 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2005 Ah, ok maybe Symantec is good, but I have heard about its resource problem from more than one source (almost all actually). McAfee is one of the best I know. It is going down a little bit now. F-Prot is supposed to be one of the best free antivirus followed by AVG (from a magazine test of about 18,000 viruses F-Prot got 16,000+ of them and AVG much lesser that maybe more than a couple of thousands, not sure about the numbers though). I used PC-Cillin and as far as I know no one who has it, has regretted. The newest on PC-Cillin Internet Security comes with Firewall, AV, email scanner, etc and is supposed to be one of the best in the industry. It costs about $50/year I think. I am planning on buying it as mine is going to expire soon. Neat, fast, and catches eveything, not to mention the lagest antivirus provider in the world. Another one worth mentioning is: Microsoft. That's right! Microsoft has already purchased an antivirus firm and an antispyware firm earlier. So I think it will also be a considertation. We will just have to wait and watch.

Blix 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2005 I?m using Panda Antivirus Platinum V7.07 with Firewall. The Prog. updates a few times every day and the Firewall is smooth going. In addition i also use Zonealarm pro firewall and so far i didn?t got any problems with intruders or viri. The catch is is you have to pay Panda regular to keep the updates going for 6/12 month.

beeseven 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2005 I use cisco pix hardware firewall and ZoneAlarm pro for my desktop. I have looked at a couple of others but I like the ZA personally. In addition i also use Zonealarm pro firewall and so far i didn?t got any problems with intruders or viri.I use ZoneAlarm Pro, too. It keeps just about everything out, but when you have to update it or renew your subscription it can get kind of annoying. I think ZoneAlarm is free, but you have to pay for Pro. Also, you have to set it to let stuff access the internet or act as a server. I gave Paint full access because Paint is awesome. >_> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karlo 0 Report post Posted March 2, 2005 ZoneAlarm is really slow. Which of the two are the best, Avast! or NOD32? can you recommend a STANDALONE firewall and fast?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RGPHNX 0 Report post Posted March 2, 2005 Karlo, Have installed dozens of firewalls for friends. Norton is suffering from program size bloat. ZoneAlarm (free edition) is slow but good- Pro edition is faster. Have never had a puter infected while using AVG(even the free edition) but have been infected when using Norton & McAfee. The chart link referenced in the post above is accurate. Hope this helps RGPHNX Â ZoneAlarm is really slow. Which of the two are the best, Avast! or NOD32? can you recommend a STANDALONE firewall and fast?! 55402[/snapback] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Styx 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2005 Zonealarm is ok. but try running it and norton together and they screw up.Tiny Personal Firewll has gotten rave reviews from friends of mine.I personally prefer the McAfee Suite--running Virusscan 9.0 and Firewall 6.0blocks a hell of a lot of attempts.
