What Anti-virus would you suggest?

Just did a reformat and I'm wondering what free anti-virus software that you guys would suggest?

In the past I'd been running AVG, but I've heard a lot about Avast as well. Is it better? Or is there something you'd suggest over both of them? Let me know!

I use AVG free and I'm very happy with it. I run it in combination with SpyBot S&D.

 

I would strongly suggest NOD 32; uses low system resources and runs very smooth! I'm very happy with it.

 

LOL i do exact the same.
AVG free edition is very OK.
Using as well 'SpyBot search & destroy' resident shield (not sure is it even needed)
And run SpyBot scan once a few weeks. Usually all is ok!
Never had any problems.

(exept one i cant still delete with spybot - MyWayWebsearch,
which left from one completely useless toolbar i've installed for some reason i do not remember. maybe just for curiosity)

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

NOD 32? is it good? heard about it. Interesting. Is it control spyware/adware too?

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

I was very happy for a long period with 'Norton Antivirus' too, but it used many system resources, and was slowing down my PC.
Then i returned back to AVG

 

Low system resources is always a good thing!

==================

Yeah, I'm running Spybot as we speak. I also run Ad-Aware as well along side Spybot for the few things that it might miss.

 

I also recommend NOD32..

 

i am using nod 32 2.7 control center.

and i think it is so good.

because there is no complaint at all.

i suggest for the same to you.

thanks.

 

I'm using Kaspersky, but for free I also suggest AVG.

 

I am use Mcafee..Ni problem & very satisfied since 3 year ago when first time i use..

 

Nod 32 here.

 

If you are looking for a free anti-virus, few can beat AVG. I have been using it for years now without any problems.

 

I've been using Antivir, and it also uses few system resources. It does have one pop-up each day that comes up while it's downloading its updates and new virus definitions.

 

AVG and a combo with spybot, lavasoft ad-ware and start CCleaner before I do anything

 

AVG or Antivir hands down

 

Go for AVG or Avast !

 

nod32 is the best for me

 

For free use AVG which I use on one computer. I use NOD32 as well and am indifferent to either. I also run spybot S&D and spywareblaster to protect the spyware end of things.

 

This is the same setup that I use. It is very affective.

 

Get a Mac and you won't need one

But if you want to stick to windows I use AVG, it's a pretty good FREE program.
