Which Antivirus do you have?

[d_razor]

I was just wondering which Antivirus you people have?

I used to have Zonealarm but now i have Norton.

[ariadne]

used to have norton but changed to avg antivirus recently.

[Nefarious]

i have norton

[dzlifefighter]

Oh god....norton is the worst of them all it truely is.....it trys to run your comp take over processes but yea i wont get into that >.<
I use Avg :D

[johnstobbart]

AVG rocks!

[Max_Sparta]

Johnstobbart, please try not to post 2-3 word answers as this is considered spam. You too, Nefarious. :o

I personally use Kaspersky. its done a great job of clearing out all the crappy files on my hdd. I used to have AVG but it conflicted with something and never worked properly. ><

[UniSol_Jeroen]

Norton,

Oh god....norton is the worst of them all it truely is.....it trys to run your comp take over processes but yea i wont get into that >.<
works perfectly fine if you know how to use and control it..

[Kenpachi_Kurosaki]

I for one agree with unisol.. i have norton and it seems perfectly fine for me.

[DarkDemon]

I dont actually use an Antivirus i scan my computer myself normally and find little things here and there. But other then that i use adaware personal version. Its one of the best ive ever used really. Norton just causes me problems and since i play alot of games lol kicks me out of them so lol.

[The dark shinigami]

On my old computer, kapersky used to lag it like crazy so I use AVG. I have spybot search and destroy also.

[UniSol_Jeroen]

adaware is only anti-spyware, its not the same as an antivirus.
I use adaware aswell for anti-spyware next to using NAV for antivirus.

[grimm]

I use System Suite, used to use Zone alarm, but my current has the anti-virus/firewall/defrag capabilities all in one

[Asuka-san]

Yeah
Norton truly is a bad stuff. I am using Nod actually.
Because I have some hack programs in my pc and it is the only stuff that blocks the other people to see me and hack.
Use Nod.
I am hacked today and it works:rolleyes:

[UniSol_Jeroen]

i mainly use

firewall: Zone Alarm Pro
anti-virus: Norton Anti-Virus 2002 (yes 2002, it's the one without the useless added stuff they put in it nowadays, and virus definitions work on it)
anti-spyware: Ad-Aware Personal
defrag: O&O Defrag (very good program)
registrycleaner-registrydefrag-diskcleaner: TuneUp Utilities 2006

and to check out your entire harddrive concerning file and folder size, if you'd be interested to try it out: Treesize Professional

[thongkh]

i'm using Norton Internet Security 2007.
personally feel better than pc-cillin 2007 which i was using before Norton.

[jimrobins]

I use McAfee Antivirus. So far, I had not encounter small and big problems and inconvenience when I use that Antivirus Software.

[thongkh]

Yeah
Norton truly is a bad stuff. I am using Nod actually.
Because I have some hack programs in my pc and it is the only stuff that blocks the other people to see me and hack.
Use Nod.
I am hacked today and it works:rolleyes:

WoW! u always being hack? can tell y?

[jimrobins]

Nahhh.. What I was shock with what she said is the hack programs. Can you share one for me? :D

Kaspersky, which my friend told me, was the best and the #1 Antivirus. I don't know if it is true and if it is really effective.

[Mrrandumbxd]

laptop= norton
pc= avg

I prefer avg cause it has more options then norton

[Otacon645]

Oh jeez no offense but I have some bad memories of Norton, not to mention it's a resource hog but also has out of date virus definitions and often fails to fix any of your problems. The two I like best are NOD32 and the one I'm currently using BitDefender Internet Security 2008.

AVG is decent but compared to non-free programs it isn't a good choice (again, virus definitions and effectiveness).

[ph15h]

norton overuses system resources and takes up a lot of RAM...

NOD32 and Kasperky or however you spell it seem to be the best.

But since I'm poor after buying so many DVDs, I have to use Avast Now.. works perfectly and caught all the viruses that Norton didn't when I had both installed on this computer.

[lorddenis]

im using betdefender planing to change that

[joe4ever86]

I use Windows Live Onecare because it works behind the scenes and i can still listen to my music. It also detects stuff very quickly so that i can destroy it. I recommend this program for people who are not computer-savvy.

[angeleyes]

I am using Trend Micro AntiVirus 2007.

I have been through several AntiVirus programs and have found this one to be the best so far.

I personally have to say that Norton and McAfee have been nothing but a pain for me in the past. :o

[Petaro]

i have NOD32 antivirus system. my friend put it on for me :D

[d_razor]

To be honest norton ain't that bad,just two days ago it stopped an attack on my computer so i really dont mind it.

[thongkh]

whats the best free antivirus on your own oppinion?
i personally have no idea.

[mew88]

I'm using avast!. For me, it is the best antivirus so far. It has very quick updates.

[Hollow37]

i used to have Norton antivirus but it blocked everything from my computer so i removed it and also i heard from friends that was one of the worst anti virus programs and the most expensive so instesead i now got Avat-antivirus realy greate works perfect finds all viruses and is free to ^^ highly recomended if you are thinking about changing antivirus program =)

:hitsugaya::hitsugaya::hitsugaya:

[happymedic]

hmm...well my antivirus is free (if you catch my drift :D) because it is a fully featured trial version of nod32 that has a very very long trial period (16715268 days left lol). If anyone is after a copy then just send me a message. I like nod32 because it hardly eats any resources and picks up loads of viruses and malware that others dont detect.

[aswin]

I've actually made my own especially when I attracted with Linux along time ago.
I've already use many AV too, but for me McAffee and Norton was the hard, I meant they really eat our RAM... no offense
And I've F.U.C.K (it's not spam it's the help systems, but it's better when OL)

[Zanthus]

I use norton, but it makes my computer all slow, and i have a brand new computer too. =/

[Pyromanci]

I don't use any AV. I have alot of utilities for when i do programming work that just get shutdown and deleted automaticly by every live scan AV. So what i do is run a daily free online scan on Mcafee's site.

[blackman]

I was just wondering which Antivirus you people have?

I used to have Zonealarm but now i have Norton.

Norton and hijackthis modified.

[joycee09]

with anitivirus stuff, my brother is the one who updates my laptop, right now as of the moment he install the Norton anti virus

I love Norton(as of the moment) since it just detects some virus.

With firewall, I don't know, still to ask my brother

ciao

[Honestis]

I'm using AVG

[are-men]

I have kapersky lab.....good in detected virus...

[bong91]

i used avast

easy to update even if you do not have an internet connection in your own pc. and can detect most of the virus

[Pinay_Ellie]

Well,, I'm using Norton 2007:o

But sometimes It's so slow:mad::rolleyes:

[Hollow Alpha]

well i use McAfee Enterprise 8.5i its very good and doent make my PC lag

[XRattlesnake]

It's true...Norton SUCKS. Gotta go with AVG and Avast! Works so awesome, doesn't slow my computer down, and the way how it's programmed is just autistic.

[sazzuke]

I'm using Karspesky now and I'm happy with it's performance.. even more this AV in top 5 rank

[lordnanda]

i use avira antivir and ad-aware...this antivirus and spyware combination is the best!!

[nightwish]

I use AVG Free, Spybot, Ad-Aware and Pathogen.

Nothing gets to my PCs or laptops

[XHeart]

I like to use Trend Micro. I've used it for a while now and I my computer's doing okay. It's certainly better than when I was using Norton. I swear, installing Norton slowed down my computer more than it helped.

[Patah]

i'm using Eset Smart Security or known as NOD32 anti virus

also using SpyBots search and destroy

Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE Personal

Tune Up Utilities 2007.......

CCleaner.....

:cool::p

[amarcus]

McAfee Internet Suite, best ont the market and it is free (for Comcast Internet subscribers). I couple that with the free Yahoo Norton Spyware Security (however McAfee catches most of the spyware and possible trojan downloads).

[amXDuser]

AVG free ver.
updates quite frequently.
not a system hog, won't be replacing it anytime soon.:)

[blackshinigami]

i use avast anti-virus .. it is available in the web and its for free., but it depends on the program u choose.. i chose the home edition .. XD

[Leif_001]

We use AVG before and it is somewhat nice and easy. But we shift to Norton its because its easy to update.

[Advantian]

I'm using e-Trust EZ Antivirus, it dont makes your computer slow and works fine to me.

[Assign]

I'm using Norton Antivirus and it's horrible. Slow's down my PC every time I scan and takes at least an hour to do a full scan.

[d_razor]

I agree with you assign i have it as well and it really bites all the ram...take it together with my H.P printer they take about 77% ram i'm planning to get some more but i think i'll change to another one soon depends on if i hear of a good one...(All except AVG!!!)

[Assign]

Yeah, I've found some great free antivirus programs if you want any just private message me.

[Leese]

I use McAfee SecurityCenter. I don't know much about it but I do know it keeps unwanted crap out of my computer. :D

[va9rant]

i'm currently using ESET NOD32 Antivirus v3.0.621.0, i found it to be simple yet effective (removed most viruses at work). I used to have mcafee enterprise v8.x but lately it wouldn't detect viruses in our PCs even after running a thorough scan of folders and files.

[Kamui]

Well Kaspersky has seem to be better then nod32 well thats what a german magazine said now all these fights about the stupid topic are up rising pretty stupid if you ask me

[Serene Melody]

The Antivirus program I am currently using is from Norton. Personally, I like this version much better than McAfee (my previous one). Due to the fact, the latter caused my computer to freeze and I ended up uninstalling it, in order to rectify this problem. So far, there have not been any major issues with the Norton product.

[Moeder]

AVG here :D i've tried Norton but it messed up my computer so i removed it. i'm still happy with AVG ;)

[d_razor]

I'm using Norton Antivirus and it's horrible. Slow's down my PC every time I scan and takes at least an hour to do a full scan.

Yeah but atleast it works believe me my friends avg got corrupted as in the program itself so how much protection is that?!!?
and with over 1 gb ram its fine now.
