mabhishekjhawar 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2007 When i first bought my pc , i used NORTAN nati virus , but when the norton updates starts it kinda uses a lotta RAM memory, so later i shifted to AVG anti virus , i used this onwe for quite a long time, but soon found it doesnt scan all the pasrt of the compute , now i use KASPERSKY INTERNET SECURITY v6 .,and i should say its by far the best i have ever come across. some people say nod32 is also good ., but i m satisfied with KIS.

rayzoredge 2 Report post Posted September 5, 2007 I use Norton Antivirus 2004 for manual scans. I never utilize the auto-protect because I hate resource hogs... and AVs are resource hogs.Over time, I'm hearing good things about Spybot, Avast, AVG, Ad-Aware, Zone Alarm, and a few others I can't remember to name. I would suggest those if you are undecided as to what to choose for an AV.I don't personally use anything but Norton's manual scans just because I try to be very careful and wary of what I download and do on the Internet. Keep in mind these little tips:- Don't open up any e-mails from anyone you don't know.- Don't blindly save things.- Multimedia files do not harbor viruses (like pictures, video, and music files).- However, archives and compressed files (ZIPs, RARs, TARs), regardless of their content, MAY harbor viruses and other malware.- If it looks out of place, not from a trusted source, or you have that gut feeling, don't mess with it.- Don't let just any online application "scan" your computer and "optimize" it. These are usually the culprits that bring in spyware.- Get to know how things work normally on your computer so you know if you've been infected.- If you have been infected, back up all of your work and personal files onto an external hard drive, scan it with multiple AVs (not one AV will find and eliminate everything), then proceed with a clean wipe and reinstall. I recommend you do a complete delete and full format of the hard drive before reinstalling to prevent recurring viruses.Don't rely on AVs to save your butt. Use your head and apply common sense. Prevention is key to maintain a well-functioning machine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Unknown_99 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2007 I use AVG 7.5 Internet Security System, its quite dependable as it updates daily, plus there are many other features available with the software like; firewall, anti-spam, anti-virus and anti-spyware, for their prices this is quite a deal If you ask me. Also there is a free version available but its only the virus scan but its just as great as it doesn't feel likes its sapping away your computers memory.

HixyOz 0 Report post Posted September 11, 2007 Avast is the best in my opinion,a good way to test your antivirus is go to http://www.eicar.org/86-0-Intended-use.htmland try downloading one of the bottom filesmif you download them okay then your antivirus is not protecting you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kenobi 0 Report post Posted September 14, 2007 I personally use NOD32 and never had a virus on my computer since I have it, because it has Active protection and protects me from Spyware and Viruses. When I enter the wrong site which tries to download something harmfull even when I use FF to be more safe, it just pops out with a message and I can stop the threat. It has also very fast virus scanning engine and has one of the best results in antivirus tests. I definitely recommend this software. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Surda 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2007 (edited) I was using Kaspersky but I've changed to Mcafee 2007, and it is alot better than kaspersky with a lower load.the reason why i changed to Mcafee is becouse i had Kaspersky running on my computer and it did not protect my computer fully aginst viruos's torjans etc, but with Mcafee been using it for 3 months and so far so good.Mcafee also updates it self, it keeps updating once in a while, so that it well stay up to date with every kind of virous's and torjans.and i highly recommend Mcafee 2007 due to its great protection.

ZaM0 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2007 I use NOD32, and I think compared to the other well-known antivirus software, it is the most lightweight. And I feel that. I have used Norton AntiVirus, but it is too heavy, and it's eating up the system's resources. The same is the Kaspersky. I never had viruses with the other two, but with NOD also I'm free of infections. So I decide to stay with NOD32. Also it has a big forum with support in Bulgaria Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
