Is kaspersky antivorus the best?

Check out nod32.com, its supposed to be really good.

for linux - get bitdifender...
for windows- www.freeav.com

Maybe I should download an AV :D

Hmm, I use XP, when I switch user it says KAV ALREADY RUNNING, SHUTTING DOWN...That is NOT a good thing

Andre

Panda software has a good program...

Just like a hard drive failure.. its not IF, its WHEN!

Andre,

If you want the best, use AVG.

Finds the most, using little of your CPU / HD.

Easy to install and deinstall, easy .dat upgrades etc. etc.

Read the tests and reviews, try it, you'll love it and never ever use the slow Norton / McAfee / Kaspersky crap again.

Good luck.

I'm not sure about paid AVG version, but the free one sucks some major ass.
My friend was using it and complained about his computer being slow as hell all the time. He installed Kaspersky and it found a whole bunch of viruses

Use the Pro version, here it uses 6% idle, 39% scanning.

Most people here are too cheap to pay for something so important though.

Nod32 is the best I know.

Avast. It is free and good

McAfee was terrible for me

FUnny in almost every test another AV program is nr1. But kaspersky looks the number one in most cases.

I'm using Avast...WORKS REALLY GREAT!!!

Norton isnt as bad as a lot of people say, although like all symantec products its become bloated over the years. I am going to change too when my license expires, but one thing you need to remember. You should time the change for when you do a fresh (re)install of windows, otherwise its damn near impossible to remove all the norton stuff from your machine.
