WHAT ANTI-VIRUS is GOOD

[zOaib]

apart from the following which one can i use without too much memory hogging

AVG
Mcafee
Norton
avast

the above dont apply is there anything other than these that is good

i used to use AVG and love it still , but it started giving me false detection for the obfustat virus , which is a known issue and it wud detect my bioshock.exe file as one , and hence i cud nto play bioshock anymore untill i uninstalled avg from the pc ........... and avg support keeps saying they will fix on their next update , and i have updated atleast 15 times after that but to no avail ................. anyways if there is nothing else after i beat bioshock ill just install avg back again =P

Very popular around here - nod 32
Avg, avast and kaspersky are funtional anti-virs. I agree about norton , likewise mcafee and trend can be real bitches to uninstall

just get the symantec anti-virus corporate edition. theres really no GUI and you dont even realize its running...

 

[Wile E]

I use and recommend Kaspersky.

 

[Ehstii]

i use a sword also.

 

[quickie]

+1 for symantec antivirus corporate edition.

 

[ghost101]

Get kaspersky for dirt cheap. Just get it from ebayers who get very cheap oem subscription codes.

Nod32,new interface is nice too.

 

[theonetruewill]

Nod32 - very low on system resources, and good detection.

 

[Widjaja]

I agree with ^ ^ Nod32

 

[Triprift]

I use Pc cillan an appart from the annoying "Computer components want to access the internet" screen wich i see alot when playing online its good

 

[y2kbugger]

nod 32 is the only way to go, i tried kaspersky and it did not live up to expectations.

Thats funny, I always used Kaspersky and when I tried NOD32 it did not live up to my expectations

 

[zOaib]

"NOD32 you fool" as Sergeant Bosco "B.A." Baracus will say

if you got more than one computer in the house you might want to get multi licences you can save alot!

i didnt want to make another topic cause its kinda related but i found this.

free!

Edit: sry you didnt want avg, my bad ><

 

[sixor]

so why dont you just quit AVG when you´re going to play????

it just will be there on the next boot, also you can turn off the resident and do manual scans on files

 

[Mad-Matt]

kaspersky is the best of the best in my opinion and has detected stuff nod32 hasnt but kaspersky has annoyance to detect any software that uses keyboard input as a keylogger. Both are good and you cant go wrong with either of these two.

 

[waspman3372]

I will never have NORTON again.It's garbage and try some time to uninstall it..good luck there.Ive got AVAST and it's ok but the it's slow when you want to do a scan.Im currently trying 2007 VIRUSKEEPER. Thought Id try it out.As for Antispyware have NEVER had any problems with XOFTSPY,LAVASOFT.These 2 are some of the best in my opinion. WASPMAN

Agreed. NOD32 didn't do anything that Kaspersky couldn't.

 

[Mussels]

kaspersky is my #1 and nod32 my #2.

Kaspersky is just a little more advanced when it comes to its use - set it to beginner/easy mode and you'll be fine (expert mode has constant popups and alerts)

 

[JacKz5o]

Kaspersky Internet Security is very good. Top notch PC security, too bad my subscription ran out, now I'm back on Kaspersky Personal

I need to buy another sub key

 

[das müffin mann]

avast

 

[smartali89]

Kaspersky ........

 

[btarunr]

I use and strongly recommend Nod32. It's really light on the system resources and is pretty good with its detection algorithm, the updates are timely, short and small in size. All in all, a very nifty little AV product.
