I want to hear what everybody thinks is the best and I would prefer something that dosen't slow everything else down while it's working

Thanks

Babaganoosh · 11-26-2006, 09:33 AM

I'm a big fan of AVG from http://www.grisoft.com/
I also keep hearing good things about Kapersky from http://www.kaspersky.com/

DjSap · 11-26-2006, 09:35 AM

i prefer using zonelabs...been good to me so far...

revolte · 11-26-2006, 09:35 AM

I recommend nod32

Ditosta · 11-26-2006, 09:36 AM

I use avast.....its amazing avast.com

jacklaidlaw · 11-26-2006, 09:45 AM

phypon · 11-26-2006, 09:49 AM

I'd also have to say nod32

Babaganoosh · 11-26-2006, 09:54 AM

http://www.eset.com/products/compare.php nod32 looks like it beats everyone performance-wise.

I've personally been using Panda AV for a few years but as the program develops, it gets more and more resource intensive. It's time to fire Panda I'm afraid.

GrouchyAdmin · 11-26-2006, 09:59 AM

NOD32 is the best for price and usability; Avast is great if you need eye candy and a semi-decent hit rate; AVG is free and works for realtime, email, and scheduled scanning; Symantec CORPORATE is OK, but takes a fuckton of RAM these days. Nothing's worse than Norton Personal and McAfee.

BuggyG · 11-26-2006, 10:02 AM

what abouut Bitefender?? ANyone have any info on them? And for info I mean used it or using it. Seems on most comre-antivirus pages, it's usually in top 3

blackdog · 11-26-2006, 10:14 AM

symantec antivirus is really great! love it!

PenetratinP · 11-26-2006, 10:20 AM

I'm a fan of Kaspersky.

I used to use Norton but it's a resource hog.

Babaganoosh · 11-26-2006, 10:23 AM

This thread motivated me to uninstall Panda and install nod32. So far, so good. My machine actually boots a lot faster without panda.

E$_manager · 11-26-2006, 10:24 AM

I have Dr Web and it slows down everything, but not for a long time.

4Man · 11-26-2006, 10:36 AM

I don't use any antivirus programs

Linkster · 11-26-2006, 10:41 AM

Ive used at least 10 different programs over the years - AVG is still the finest at not taking resources and providing protection
In answer to the Bitdefender question - I used it for about a year - it was great for email scanning, but sucked for online autodownloaders/trojans - and used about 10 times the resources that AVG uses
I have found that using AVG and Spysweeper together running all the time takes very little resources and provides the best coverage - although spysweeper tends to annoy me when it finds something a little more than I like - but then I have it set to inform me when something like a trojan inserted in a movie file is trying to load something

mattz · 11-26-2006, 10:50 AM

I use Spy Sweeper. I think I bought it at Best Buy. Works great, had one problem with trojans and the program took care of it right away. I never had any problems since I got this program

cheekycherry · 11-26-2006, 10:54 AM

McAfee is a piece of shit... Battling with it right now on my computer.

King of Queens · 11-26-2006, 11:01 AM

I use Spyware Sweeper from http://www.webroot.com & love it

Got it when I got my my lappy not too long ago due to unbearable spyware on my other 1

u-Bob · 11-26-2006, 11:15 AM

Avg !

TheDoc · 11-26-2006, 11:21 AM

Trendmicro offers an online scanner that snags all types of virus, spyware/malware, and open exploits on your machine. I use it, overall the best cleaning software in my opinion, and it's free.

Before bed, turn off your screen saver and power savers, go through the small setup needed, and let it run. It scans for a lot of stuff so it takes awhile.

prezzz · 11-26-2006, 11:23 AM

Avast is the only one I've been using for a long time now.

stag44 · 11-26-2006, 11:24 AM

AVG!! - simply the best

wdsguy · 11-26-2006, 11:24 AM

I usually use avg, but am trying out kaspersky on this machine. It fucked with Pacific Poker for me though, which isnt necessarily a bad thing...

everestcash · 11-26-2006, 11:41 AM

i prefer http://www.kaspersky.com/
(i also got Outpost Firewall and imho together with Kaspersky it provides very good protection)

baddog · 11-26-2006, 12:20 PM

McAfee has caused me no problems, been a good experience so far.

germ · 11-26-2006, 01:01 PM

AVG free will no longer be working after the first of the year, i believe.

trying nod32 now.

germ · 11-26-2006, 01:03 PM

ok i take that back. seems like their windows trial download is down.

anyone got an alternative download site?

Lonny · 11-26-2006, 01:05 PM

AVIRA - Been using it for 6 monts or so works great. http://www.free-av.com/

martinsc · 11-26-2006, 01:13 PM

AVG free edition
http://free.grisoft.com/

Elli · 11-26-2006, 01:14 PM

I've been using Grisoft's AVG for a few months now and am very impressed with it.

Stevie · 11-26-2006, 01:38 PM

switched to avast.....no problems since. Love it.

Microsoft's support 1 is the best for windows, runs smoothly and can be used on 3 computers with one license.

That is correct - however after trying most of the paid versions of other programs I will have no problem paying for AVG - it still wins hands down

Mrs F.U.B.A.R. · 11-26-2006, 06:45 PM

Thanks for the input everyone, your help is appreciated. I will be checking these choices out

woj · 11-26-2006, 06:59 PM

Dirty Dane · 11-26-2006, 07:01 PM
