What AntiVirus Software Do You Use?

did you get teased as a kid?

I was actually born with an extra thumb!
of course they snipped it

 

currently, my computer is infected with a spyware and I installed the latest version of mcafee anti spyware but i don't think it removed the spyware on my pc

 

AVG sucks. Failed to detect over 500 infected files when Mcafee did the perfect job. Mcafee ftw.

 

i use avast, but i'm switching to a mac...

 

pooh p!

take a look at ~ 80-85 on here: Adware, Spyware, Trojan, and Hijacker Scanners

 

Mcafee is the best

 

I've always been a fan of AVG...fast, free (for home use), and doesn't slow down your computer like Norton and McAfee.

 

no kidding. free ≠ foolproof.

that's 2 people now who have gotten slammed by AVG...

there you go!
the only 'proven' way to keep your computer out of the gutter!!

 

I primarly use a Mac, so I don't have to deal with most of the virus issues. When I use a PC, I'll sometimes just run Ubuntu on it because it lets me do most of what I need and I don't have to deal with spyware. When I use a PC, I've found that using Firefox instead of IE tends to keep most of the spyware off of it. I'll run stinger.exe or adaware every once in a while just to keep things clean.

 

I use kaspersky anti-virus, it's not free but imo the best one. I used many other anti-virus programs before but kaspersky i like the most. They are updating like every 5 min which is the best way to keep a new thread from your computer. But I think AVG is a also a good option, if you want freeware.
But I dont like norton, its slow, it doesnt find everything and turns your fast computer into slow one.

 

I’ve used many different antivirus programs but McAfee is the best I found.

 

I couldn't agree more about Norton.

One time (not in band camp) my Dad had a hitch in Norton and it screwed up his system something fierce.

knightmare is was.

 

thanks for that link. I will check on it asap

 

All I can say is I come back to McAfee ...

 

I use NOD32 and don't plan on switching any time soon.

 

thats it. I use Mcafee(its fast and functional) but as i am using free version so i use ZONE ALARM firewall as well

 

Free use I go with AVG, Paid use I go with Kaspersky Internet Security Suite

 

I started using Kaspersky Internet Security Suite and it’s great. It doesn’t slow your pc down and is easy to use. NICE!!!

 

avast buddy. very good

 

Microsoft Security Essentials is quite effective and free.

If you have Malware Kaspersky is great for removing a family of Rootkit.Win32.TDSS (aka Tidserv, TDSServ, Alureon). http://support.kaspersky.com/viruses/solutions?qid=208280684

For a paid virus protection Kaspersky is great.
