What Antivirus do you think is the best to & for you?

a word of warning: do NOT use Avast, it eats away your system, it happened to me and my classmates

 

if u want a free anti virus like me just get avg

 

no cyber cafe(sane enough) will use avg lol i have a relative working there when i mention avg he Laugh his ass out^_^

 

Cyber cafes here use something called "deep freeze", what is it exactly?

They say it prevents downloads from ever being performed & another guy told me that hackers use it, if so how can it be a good Anti Virus program?

 

And I suppose you didn't buy it?

Only downside of AVG is the amount of updates you need to do. Besides that, I can't think of.

General question: which is beter, AVG or NOD32?

 

You never need to update AVG, if it has a lot of updates when you check (database updates, virus databases etc.), that basically means it's a good supported product. AVG is better than NOD32 in my opinion. See the poll results at the top.

 

Plus unless you manually initiate an update, AVG does it for you automatically, you can't even notice it updating sometimes, unless the "update finished" notification comes up.

 

Kaspersky is always the best when tested by magazines here, followed by Nod32 then AVG.

I personally use Kasperky Internet Security which is really flexible and secure and costs around £10 per license when 5 licences are bought.

 

the bad thing about AVG is it takes way too long to scan

 

Yeah the Fast settings you can select don't actually do anything. Just to make it seem more feature packed that it already is I guess

 

I've used AVG, Norton, Kaspersky, NOD32, and BitDefender.

AVG is kind of lulz. The freeware version is all I've tried. It is slow scanning (as hell. Waaaayyyyy slow) and slows my system a bit too much.

Norton. ohlol. Fuck norton. Every PC I've ever used with Norton turned to shit within minutes of install. Don't get norton; ever; period.

Kaspersky and I had a bad experience together. Once I installed it, it started to mess up my system. I'm not sure whether it was actually a virus (I pirated it) or just a fucked up crack, but it wasn't a good experience.

NOD32 was great until the crack I was using stopped working (the company learned of it and disabled updates). It was nice.

I'm currently using BitDefender, the only AV I've ever actually paid for. It works pretty well. The system use is low as long as you tweak the setting does that it doesn't scan every fucking electron in the universe like it does at default. It was like $25 or something. You get 2 or 3 licenses for that price (lowest price I believe) so it's good if you have multiple PCs or use a virtual machine.

 

You bet my computer notices and feels it.

But then I never pay for AVs, and it's normal that there are some issues when you don't.

So, another question: which is lighter, NOD32 or Kaspersky? They seem to be the best, and I need a new one, or my computer will go *bang*.

 

I've got 8.0 (not bought) AVG Internet Security Suite, scans at reasonable speed, but when it updates, it does it in another window.

 

I'll give you the best antivirus... Linux.

 

Try zone alarm scanning, i bet u it is even worse, i had it once before the crack was disabled, and the anti-virus scan takes real long, overnight long, i had it scan once and let my laptop with its power on the whole time and the next day, i wake up and it is only 40%

compared to eset which took 2 hours only

same thing happen to me yesterday and when i uninstall it, boom, my computer was hit like hell lots of viruses -_-

 

Those penguins ain't right.
