Best Anti-Virus so far?

[Rydian]

Pirating your AV is fucking retarded, don't do it.

Many AVs (such as MSE) are NOT designed to install with existing infections and may not remove what you have.

I had sex in the back of a Ford and she didn't get pregnant.

So you don't need a condom in the back of a Ford.

Because that's what happened to me.

So it's true.

I've been using ESET Smart Security for the last three weeks and all is good so far. And I'm with Rydian on not pirating AV.

 

[DigitalDeviant]

hmmm well my nod32 updates itself automatically, am I missing something on this pirated version?

edit: anyone?

 

[Rydian]

I'm not saying it's not going to work, I'm saying I do not suggest doing it.

okay well its not easy for me to ween of my pirating habits but I'll keep that in mind.

 

[Fluto]

MSE is free huh.
Im installing it now

 

[Thesolcity]

NOD32, you can keep the subscription active if you know how.

But its lightweight, and most up to date IMO. Also a Multi-platform release (Linux, Mac, Windows, Android).

 

[Rydian]

MSE is free, but it is not made for removing existing infections if it was not installed beforehand.

 

[Wombo Combo]

ESET NOD32 I find it better than MSE at finding and actually deleting the viruses which MSE sometimes struggles to do a lot of times and I noticed on multiple machines it turns itself off with reboots/startups no viruses did this.

Use MSE on customers PCs but ESET when removing and for own personal use.

HEH wrong.
It fixed my problem now skype and steam, shockwave will run without crashing
it was a worm ...

 

[Deleted-236924]

I'm with the crappy Videotron antivirus at my dad's home, as well as having MSE installed.

But the computer at my mom's house has ESET.
We had Kaspersky before, but it takes so much memory!
The computer seems to run better now that I have ESET, plus I don't have the crappy parental control from Kaspersky PURE that blocked stuff for no reason.

I would say Avast, I've used it on every computer I've ever personally owned. Catches everything at the moment it happens. I've had NO virus related PC failures. If you use it, turn on Gaming mode, will turn off most (Leaves urgent notifications running, like Trojan and Virus found) and all the sounds off, so it basically leaves me alone, it works pretty amazingly for me, since I keep it automatically updated.

Not being made for and not being able to are two very different things.

Wait, there is a "Pirated" version of NOD32? I always thought pirated meant cracked, I always downloaded the official version, and compiled a quick script to grab some serials Daily/Weekly. Is that "Pirating"?

Yeah, but you can also patch NOD32 so that the trail lasts forever.

For example MSE uses Windows Installer, and some infections will mess it up, and if it's not working MSE can't install.

 

[impizkit]

I have found that a combination of Avast and Threatfire work well together. Never had a virus and I have gone to sketchy sites and downloaded alot of things that can often carry viruses. Microsoft Security Essentials is good too.
