Fresh install of Windows XP - Best Anti Virus?
 

I'm about to format this machine & reinstall windows xp... what is the best anti virus software to install on it?

Norton seems to have dropped the ball tons of times, lookin for something new.

Kaspersky - it's THE best AV I have ever used bar none.

Never had a machine I've installed AVG on for people catch a virus and best of all....it's free.

avast is a good one

its only free for 30 days tho?

word to your mother

Get the Free version >>> http://free.avg.com/ :thumbsup

http://www.eset.com/ best by far

Eset NOD32

I use Nod32 and its great!

avast gets my vote

I used to have this russian girl editing for me.. She was smart as a whip and always poking around my networked pc and would get through norton. I heard her mention kaspersky and i bought it, she couldnt get through after that, and the fact that I canned her too, but yea, it works awesome.

Nod sucks.. seriously. Dont let micro center trick you into thinking its good. I can get through nod and I know jack shit. Nod is good if you are a gamer and you want an antivirus scanning at all times because it uses less recourses, but thats about it. Kaspersky is designed inherently better.

(im not ripping your opinion) i want you to know that.

:thumbsup:thumbsup im also using this :thumbsup:thumbsup

AVG (free/paid) got my vote.
2nd choice would be Avira Antivir.

i use AVG - free version - and meanwhile i've had two bouts with spyware lately - it never alerted me to anything.

kaspersky ftw

Same. I use avg all the time. Since their latest main update, it looks a lot better / easier to use too

Kaspersky is the best solution

Eset NOD32 is rather good for me,
i have bad experience with Kaspersky (different versions) - slowing down computers.

I'm using Antiviruses in my office only (10 -15 computers)

AVG free and:

download, install, at least once amonth run scans in safe mode, do your Adobe updates too

What he said. :2 cents:

I use kaspersky(KIS 2009 to be more exact) and I love it. Been using it for 3-4 years now. Pretty cheap too.

I've been happy with Symantec Enterprise Edition. I like the daily auto updating.

Kaspersky

Avast or avg!

NOD 32.. it's updated daily and is barely noticeable as far as system preformance goes.

bitdefender for sure

just stay offline... easy. ;)

Kaspersky for me !! :pimp

Eset NOD32
