Which Anti Virus is the best one?

I've used AVG for about 2 years, until very recently when I shifted to NOD32. AVG's new version, AVG 8, is a resource hog, in contrast to NOD32 which operates "silently" but busts 'em all with ferocity.

 

BKAV very good

 

quite a few people have mentioned that about the new version of AVG
it's a shame!

 

of course Kaspersky. There used to be a virus disasters, most of computers got affected .The exceptions are the computers with Kaspersky. At that time I work as a lan webmaster in a company. It was a headache for me to restore the virus victim computers including most female fellows. From different view, Kaspersky is a bit difficult to use for computer learners and female users.

 

I like only Norton Antivirus. It's really good and if you update regularly its components and virus definition through Live Update, you'll never face any problem for Virus.

 

i used norton pure crap, now i use nod32

 

symantac. I saw once that AVG is always on in catching virus files.

 

AVG & Kaspersky is my fav.

 

Zonealarm users got slammed this week by a new MS security update. if you had a ZA product it killed your internet.

What's worse ZA send out an email like 4 days after the fact....ummmm you might need to DL this update....ya think!!!!!!!!!!!!! of course how would you get the email if you had no internet!

 

AVG 2008 rocks ... cool changes.

 

So how did you manage to get around this problem?

Uninstalled ZA

 

Now I am using the Norton Anti virus.

 

Nod32...........

 

as it happened, we were on vacation, I was on a crappy internet connection, and so I just turned it off (ZA) without knowing about the problem!

BUT once we got home, my LT did not work, the desktop did. I used the DT to research it and the workaround is to basically uninstall the MS update, DL the new patch/version of ZA and then do the MS thing.

PAIN IN THE A**!!

here's the thing. I was already 1 version behind, I DL'd the new version 7.0.473 since I was on 7.0.470

BUT

if you go to their web site 7.0.473 is listed as the newest released version but the security patch resides in 7.0.483!!!!

WTF!!

so basically I had to install 2 version of ZA , undo and redo the MS patch...that's like 9 reboots right there! Took me hours to figure it all out!!

Oh, I had to find an article online to find the 7.0.483 version

 

#1 Kaspersky
#2 NOD32
#3 Spysweeper with Sophos

 

avast antivirus is the best worked antivirus for me
i used nod32 , Mcafee , Kaspersky , Avg , and avast
a month back my pc used to have many viruses and trogans but nod32 did'nt recognize them and lastly i used avast professional demo version (60 days) it has cleaned all the viruses and it has boot time virus check option that will delete all viruses
it has both home(free) edition and professional edition

 

I havent used an AntiVirus for a very long time and I had never had any issues with my system.

IMHO antivirus s just waste the system resources. hehe.

 

If you sit only in dp, then yes, antivirus is just waste the system resources...

 

To be honest, that is the worst thing you could ever do to a PC.

 

I use Kaspersky. It is the best.
