A good anti-virus...

[amptor]

are u guys running xp? I haven't got any virii or spyware in vista.

 

[o RedSheLL x]

I say BitDefender.

Thanks for all the replies. I just have one thing to ask - does NOD32 have a small memory footprint?

 

[DeMoN]

It doesn't matter because NOD32 is not free.

 

[o RedSheLL x]

LoL DeMoN

 

[Holaitsme]

It doesn't matter because NOD32 is not free.

Everything is free on the internet.

I use to use avast and it worked like a charm.

 

[FaRReR]

Well, I've just installed Avira - It seems to work well. If anyone knows which file controls the 'Buy now' popup, please PM me about it.

(Please close thread, I'm getting the inkling that this will become a flamewar if p1ngpong finds out about it)

I say Avast!, it's awesome and got rid of a crap load of stuff. I got it free from a torrent that gave me more than 5 years free. I'm not telling where cus it's agents the rules but............. I guess that's it.

 

[juggernaut911]

I use avast and comodo firewall. The only bad things are things I knew contained them... though, avast caught them before I could execute them

 

[elixirdream]

i would suggest clamwin~! it is portable

but the virus scan takes long long time

 

[playallday]

I'd vote Norton.

 

[xcalibur]

ew norton and symantec suck
eset, avg and avast are the way to go

 

[AeroHex]

but you wouldn't need anti virus if people went so dirty

i know a heaps good one if you ever did get a virus
its called
format lol

p.s norton sucks i told it to remove a cookie and it couldn't even do that

sure avg as some screw ups but its very good anti virus
note:i never use them there just there for the sake of having them

 

[Salamantis]

NOD32 all the way. Everything else sucks in comparison.

Also Norton doesn't deserve to be on people's hard drives.

 

[blackwolf1006]

I use Avast.... Its free.

 

[Raestloz]

avast 4.8 Pro is pretty good I heard, but Kaspersky and NOD32 is superior in term of protection. If you're not in a hostile environment, try Avira or avast, they're pretty good, and avast scans pretty quick.
Or, try BitDefender, people in another forum always posted things about BitDefender and F-Secure, hell, maybe they're worth a try. I use Kaspersky 7.0 by the way

and lol, here AVG screws up, it scans so quick that you don't have time to go to bathroom, but the result is nothing

 

[Licardo7]

Right now I'm using Avast but I'm going to try:

RegCure
Nod32
CCcleaner
Spybot Search and Destroy
O&O Defrag
and No.1 DVD Ripper (yes, it's a torrent again)

After I'm done, I'll tell you the results

 

[Licardo7]

This is what I got right now. I'll be editing this post for the results.

RegCure: Very god, it isn't a antivirus. it's a repair program. it fixed about 900 errors in my comp. See if it help it.

Nod32: It won't let me do anything, when I try to clean it says "error cleaning" and when I try to delete a virus it says "error deleting" it sucks (this just for me,

maybe not for other people)

CCcleaner

Spybot Search and Destroy

O&O Defrag

No.1 DVD Ripper
