bittr 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2009 I have the best protection for my computer, Windows Firewall I've never gotten any virus or spam-ware.Well, you're either very lucky, either you don't extensively install programs, browse the internet or use programs from torrents I use Avast. I find it small and good, and if you register on their website you can use it for free, get updates and so.I tried most of the freeware antiviruses, and I found Avast to be the best.

Nabb 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2009 I have the free edition of Avira which is enough for me. Well on top of that, I have Spybot S&D, which has a built-in registry monitor (TeaTimer). Although it isn't just your anti-virus, if you're smart about what files you download on the internet, then you won't need to rely on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mahesh2k 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2009 AVG anti-virus looks good to me. I didn't faced any problem related to memory resource and such. Other than that i tried Kaspersky, Avast, Norton, NOD32, Mcfee. Out of that Norton looks horrible as it eats lot of system resource. and many spyware goes through it. So if you've choice to choose from multiple antivirus then i suggest you don't go for Norton. Avast being free antivirus will protect as good spyware as well. Just try entering "https://www.google.de/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=uSY5VNbWD-PY8gfL2YDACQ&gws_rd=ssl; in browser,it will flag as malicious site. Nice way to detect spyware i must say. Do install Spybot search and destroy/Adaware along with your anti-virus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chinmay 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2009 Best antivirus (Paid) is NOD32. It is light on system and configuration options are greater than many others.ESET smart security (nod32 is part of this) is a good security suite.as for free antivirus.....both avg and avira are good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brandonjbegle 0 Report post Posted February 16, 2009 The antivirus i use is norton 08...it is probably the best paid antivirus i've used although it still misses quite a few spy- and malwares Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spyda 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2009 I believe that if you are going to go out and use a paid anti virus program and if you are willing to pay a good amount of money to keep your computer in check I would have to say get Trend Micro. I personally don't have it I have norton but that is my opinion on what is the best anti-virus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anheizhiye 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2009 Long long ago,I used Norton Anti-Virus. It seems a cracked program and it seems not very good enough. It only provides some basic protection.Anyway, prevention is better than none. No matter how good or how bad anti-virus program is, we should pratices good e-mail habits ,such like don't open suspicious email. I have got one suspicious email,and which let me have to reintall my computer and os.After that,i changed to use Kaspersky Anti-Virus.It is very good.hehe:) After reinsall and using Kaspersky Anti-Virus ,I keep using my os without reinstall about two years!!!Good luck to you!

Alex Cicala 0 Report post Posted March 18, 2009 AVG Free is the best for Freeware, ESET Nod 32 for a main product, for Anti-spyware go with XoftSpy [Windows XP Only] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-Sky- 0 Report post Posted March 18, 2009 Well, I did use Symantec Endpoint Protection although it made my PC slow and crash, so I removed it and downloaded AVG Free instead. I personally like AVG as it takes less resources then Symantec Endpoint Protection does. However, most people have their own favourite Anti-Virus softwares so I don't judge others opinions as if they should use whatever. If others want to use say, Nod 32 or Norton etc then I have no problem as in their opinions they like that software better then others. Personally I think aswell it's sometimes rude to say/disagree/judge others opinions of software. They use what they want, you use what you want. Simple. :DBut yes, I do like to use AVG Anti-Virus because it's better for me. I don't like to install and use or manually try configuring other Anti-Virus protection software if I've never even used it before.I respect others opinions and my own. :DReguards.

SaNJ 0 Report post Posted March 18, 2009 i use Zone Alarm Security Suite, with Norton Antivirus 2004 Prodont like ZA's Antivirus, but its Firewall is really good! Well I have tried quite a few antiviruses like zone alarm, norton,mcafee, and they work quite like the same. But there are some differences..like..zone alarm and norton take long to to scan computer.zone alarm may increase your boot time..ie.. login time.mcafee is good but gives average performance on every basis.zone alarm's firewall is very good and is quite rigid.But the antivirus I recommend is ESET security nod32...its delivers the best performance-- low on system resources--manually configured and automatically configured firewall..--quite good and fast virus scanning.

Alex Cicala 0 Report post Posted March 19, 2009 i use the ESET nod32 and i feel it is the bestI agree with you. I am also sure that uses less RAM than avast and other types of AV programs, and doesn't hog the cpu for scans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
