srujanlive 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2007 NOD32 is the most lightweight non intrusive easy to use antivirus there is or ever can be. Updates several times a day as and when neede. Its developers are often the fastest to detect and patch viruses. And it ranks much above mcafee and norton on several antivirus comparision charts. Though Kapersky many be quite as good, I hate its intrusiveness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bhavesh 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2007 I think the best antivirus software is Avast it is free reliable with constant updates of the database and software.Hey i know that Avast is a free anti virus but it not able to scan the trojan and even new born virus as its database updating is very slow. I will suggest you that change or sift from Avast to McAFee anti virus because it is all in one and not take huge RAM as Norton anti virus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
midnightvamp 1 Report post Posted April 15, 2007 I use Avast for my anit-virus software. I didn't want to keep paying for Norton either, so I decided to look for a new option when it came to keeping my computer virus free.I haven't really had too much experiance in the area, so I'm not sure if it's a good one or not, but it seems to be working fine for me and it's caught a couple of viruses on my machine since I've been using it. Plus I notice every so often a window pops up that says the virus definitions have been updated or something to that effect, so I know that it's staying up to date (at least more so than it started) which is nice to know too.I really want to find a way to shut of the sound effects though, but I haven't been bothered by it, cause it's only gone off a couple times, but both times I was sitting there with my sound on, and nothing playing through the speakers and all of the sudden a loud siren comes on and says there is a virus... it scares me when I'm not expecting it, so I really should go and find out if I can turn that off before I get another virus (which hopefully I won't anyway).

I would not agree with you on this one either as avast has really fast antivirus database update and it is working without any problems also it scans for any type of virus just that it does not scans for adware and such similar exploits however it is preventing them from entering or running on your computer to certain extent.

succeedatall 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2007 I have used many from windows, norton to mcafee and zone alarm etc. But the safest most reliable and the one with most structural integrity has been zone alarm. Â The question is is there a firewall that can block and secure all computer ports? Â I can't remember but i have found a website that scans for holes in ur firewall and tells you. Â Notice from electriic ink: A belated move from Hardware I use avg free 7.5 antivirus which automatically updates its databasemy os is windows xp pro sp2 and i am using windows defender and windows fire wall I haven't had any problems with these Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bhavesh 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2007 I use McAfee as my personal fire wall and my antivirus. It gives me a wide range of anti virus database. So I prefer to McAfee. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
