Anti-virus software

[Badprop_za]

Howzit guys,

What antivirus software (free or paid) would you recommend for Windows 7?

I use my PC for everything from playing games, watching movies, downloading, etc.


Any advice would be appreciated.

HI,

You could also look at Avast Home Free Edition. I've been using it for years now and it works very well.

Get Avast! Free Antivirus, works like a charm

MSE. It's quiet, fast and doesn't bug you like Avast or kill your Machine like McAfee.

For a paid version, I'd go with ESET NOd32 anti-virus. MSE works great too though.

Free:
1. Avast
2. MSE

Paid:
1. Eset Anti-Virus (Anti-virus)
2. Eset Smart Security (Anti-virus + Firewall)

Microsoft Security Essentials... that is all.

Best anti-virus I've found(if you can get your hands on it) is Sophos, had it for years you barely notice it and nukes everything!!!!

Threads like these don't make much sense. MSE does the job. It does it well. Now lock this thread, somebody.

I was under the assumption that everyone here on mybroadband would see I was joking

Kinda figured you were, was just wondering at which point between tipsy and face-planting the bar one needs to make IE jokes OK

Outta curiosity, which browser floats your boat?
