The Best Anti-virus What Do you think ?

Recommended Posts

My recommendations are,
-- AVG Free Edition (Free for Life time)
-- Avast Anti Virus ( Register and get new key every 60 days for free version)



i would totaly agree with both of those, I use AVG Free Edition....and it cures any files that gets trown at it...it has updates practicly daily... I also use Spybot Search And Destroy for spyware..and it cleans up fine...they are both free for life too!

nod32 has a firewall??? I did not know that, when I first got nod32 i really liked it so I scorched their site look to see if they also made firewalls which they didn't. They recommended me to stupid kerio, which doesn't even work as well. But I have to say that outpost or zonealarm is the best.

I just use avast and my router...togeather, theyre the best...oh, and I have MS antispyware, AD-Aware SE, CCleaner, and all sorts of stuff like that...but my best protection:not clicking on the FREE PORN links in my spam folder....In my opinion, you have to be pretty stupid to get a totally infected system....

I don't use a software firewall anymore, as I've got one in my router, but when I was on Dial-up, Zone Alarm was the firewall I chose. I tried Kerio, and Sygate - didn't like them.

You may still need a firewall installed on your computer as a built-in firewall on your router may not block all of the intrusion. You may still risk being attack or even some scripts that make your router send unregconised data to your computer, making the connection crash or something.

So far, while using Windows XP, its own firewall has served well enough. While I used win2k, I used Zone Alarm without any trouble, as far as I know :lol: It wasn't really "heavy" and I like the way it could be configured.

Norton Internet Security 2005

No Way! Norton is using too much resources and slowing down my computer alot more. It's irritating when a notice keeps poping up when an application is trying to access the internet. It will not ask once. It asks at least 3 times. And these popups are more irritating than web popups. Their popups are configured to be the front-most window. So whatever you are doing at the moment will be interrupted. I dislike it when I was playing a game in full screen and that popup appears and brought me out of the game so it could be the front-most window. After I return back to the full screen game, that popup took control again, and repeated more than 3 times.

No longer will I go with Norton anymore. I'd rather have peaceful moments with free security tools than to pay for irritating software.

Norton used to be the best, but these days it really does chew through the system resources, and the subscription idea is really putting people off. Apparantly a lot of people have had issues with Norton screwing with files that it shouldn't and causing running errors. Best to stay away from I would say, unless you're a super computer novice (coz I'm guessing they have tech support :()

BEST ANTI-VIRUS:

 

 

Well, everybody knows that there are thousents of virus in the internet, and we have the

tools to block some of them, but the real problem is to know which anti-virus to use?

All of the folowing antivirus has trial versions.

Kaspersky Anti-virus Personal <-- I belive that is one of the best, well he is fast and has 24hours updates. :P

Avast Professional Edition <-- The Second Best after Kaspersky its really faster than the bigger ones like the Norton Antivirus and Mcafee. :D

 

https://www.avast.com/de-de/index

---------------------------------------

mks_vir <-- I have used him for only a day and was good but im not sure of his advantages and problems, but it still in the top 10 best anti-virus. found 2 virus on my pc. :)

---------------------------------------

- Norton Antivirus: too havy and reparing abilities not good

---------------------------------------

- Mcafee : Motive: Virus Known library too small

---------------------------------------

- Panda Antivirus: Motive: too havy and crashes up all windows sometimes

---------------------------------------

 

BEST ANTI-SPYWARE:

Webroot SpySweeper <-- It is the best anti-spyware in the internet, it is a little havy to use in background but its great to run an full scan once a week.

 

 

 

Observation: please dont blame me if you have a diferent opinion.

What do you think of NOD32? It's the one I use and has a lot of options. A long time ago I used to use Norton, but as find3r says, it was really, really heavy, so I changed for Kaspersky (the one mentioned above) and I found it very good.

 

If you ask me I don't know which of the two is better, but what I know is that I like A LOT that NOD32 tells you all the time that he has updated the database, I don't know if that works, but I like it.

 

P.S. I just remember something, sometime ago I had a problem with my antivirus (NOD) cause I downloaded a trainer for a game and every time I entered the folder where it was the trainer, NOD wanted to delete it cause it said that "changed the uses of the buttons on the keyboard", thing that was obvious because it was a trainer, but I couldn't make him understand that wasn't a threat, so I had to create a special rule telling him not to analyze that file... Thats the only thing I have against NOD

I know a great one for free. It's called AVG Free Edition. I had Nortorn Anti-Virus once, and trust me, the AVG is better. Also, I recommend adding a Spybot Search and Destroy, and Ad-aware SE Personal. With those on the run, and checking everyday, I think you can have a pretty much safe computer. Oh, and also, they're all free. That's the good part.
