Should I get Mcafee or Norton antivirus?
 

I have to buy one tonight, which one should I get?

I'm not getting the avg free one because it fucks up my email

Neither, they use NATS.

I use AVG, Nortons bogs down your machine like crazy, it is a HUGE memory hog

McAfee was all right, but it let a virus through a few months ago that totally fucked my machine

I use AVG now, it hasn't failed yet

Neither ..both are huge resource hogs..try Kaspersky

I have been using Panda and it has been good to me so far.

using mcaffee..good protection but my laptop is fucking slow now

I would strongly suggest ZoneAlarm Security Suite or Trend Micro.

Niether of em. They both slow down the computer so fucking much. Grab a free copy of AVG and then just do scans regulary with Adaware, Spybot, and Ewido.

I agree with you Sosa.. I do the same stuff with my pcs :thumbsup

AVG will be discontinued in January I believe. I remember seeing that message when I rebooted not long ago. Or is that just another upgrade of the free program? I didn't pay much attention, I got a free upgrade to ZA Security Suite when I renewed my ZAPro last month. If AVG is still free, it's a pretty good free tool, better than both Norton and McAfee IMO.

Another vote for Kaspersky. I sell about 50 A/V & Antispyware installations per month at my day job. I recommend Kaspersky only. The user interface is a little quirky at first but it has a small footprint and finds stuff in .zip files in and ISO image. No one else can pull that off.

I agree, AVG all the way :banana

I say you get Nod32 but it's your call.

I scan iso's and zips all the time with AVG

right click, scan

Fuck antivirus, get a MAC

Kaspersky is the best.Go for it. try thier trial version http://www.kaspersky.com/trials

Try AVAST! Home. http://www.avast.com/

If your on windows check out live one care, it's very nice.

i used bitdefender before when im on desktop but now im on laptop i used avg and microsoft defender for firewall

I cant use AVG because it scans my emails everytime I check them.
Even when I turn it off, even when I uninstall the email scan plugin, it still scans my emails everytime I download them.
And it crashes when it scans them, every single time.
So I have to totally shut down avg when I check my email, then restart it.
I wont do it anymore.

I would recommend Nod 32 -> http://www.eset.com/products/windows.php

I know a lot of professionals that use it.

They are just asking you to upgrade to the new version which is still free.

that is weird, I haven't had any trouble when using AVG. Sure the scanning every email sucks in our biz, but everytime I have disabled it on a computer it has worked fine.

yeah, kaspersky is good :thumbsup

avira free
 

avira free edition gives best performance for your PC

PC Cillin or something like that, got it from Best Buy and it is the best I ever used

dont go norton. its a bitch to remove

downloading Kaspersky, thanks for the tip

never had a problem with Avast.

get www.bitdefender.com ---> it's a good choice!

Norton is best

mcafee works good

pc cillin isnt too bad either

Are you guys sure about kaspersky?

Just installed it and my system is super slow now. it took 20-30 seconds just to launch this browser.
I rebooted twice.

Yeah, it acts like it's mad because you don't want it anymore and tries to drag the removal out so maybe you give up and leave it installed.

Never had any problems with mcafee

PC Cillin

i use Nod32

If dl kaspersky where is the nearest server to uk?

You shouldnt get either of them

get ESET - NOD32

You still have other options to choose from. Try AVG.

leave the others alone theyre a huge pc load

get nod32 instead
