What Antivirus Software to use

[killkom]

Hi All

I am looking for new antivirus software I was wondering what you would suggest

I don't mind paying for it it does not have to be free but it must not take over my machine get in my way

I am currently on a Norton Antirus 2010 30 Day trial and its not bad its quite light and it does not slow down my machine it also doesn't try do everything for me

I like the feature that does not let scans run or updates happend when you have a full screen app running

Are there any better ones

Try Microsoft Security Essentials.

it's free.

Comodo Internet Security also provides a free anti-virus and firewall, and its quite good.

Free download is about 75mb.

If your looking too buy get PcCillen

Try Microsoft Security Essentials.

it's free.

+1

Sounds like what the OP is after, antivirus that works, is free, and doesn't get in the way.

Avast, AVG and Avira AntiVir is free to home users. I use Avast at home and Nod32 at work.

thanks for all the replys will try a few of them and see which one is the best

 

[Kuga]

NOD32 is rated THE best.

 

[Park@82]

NOD32 is rated THE best.

Yeah but even then I have seen various infected files slip past an updated NOD32's radar only to be picked up by others.

You won't regret it. Kaspersky just works. Unlike the rest

And I hear that it is also low on the resources....

Been using AVG for years - it's light and unobtrusive. And Free (The free version).

 

[McGuywer]

Golden rule = Use only one!

Linux!

lol sorry i couldnt help perpetuating the nonsense from another thread

I am happy with Avast!, Mcafee and AVG.

Have not used an anti-virus for close on 5 years now, spybot s&d + malwarebytes make an excellent combo and won't delete all your cracks and keygens

Microsoft Security Essentials FTW, kicks most Antiviruses mentioned.
