Which antivirus do you recommend?

KliK · Post by **KliK** » Mon Sep 24, 2007 2:47 pm

right now I'm using (and have been using) the Norton Systemworks 2003 or 2004, which comes with Antivirus...2003 is OK, 2004 is worse & slower...

the system went blue screen this week...whole partition got wiped! and now i'm thinking about getting another antivirus...

so feel free to make the sugestions...

Norton is terrible. Don't use it.

I've been using this one since Feb of this year. It has intercepted about 4 risks.

In June I got a Belkin wireless router when Wifey got her laptop and not a single threat has been detected since then with the hardware firewall, XP's built in firewall, and AVG in place.

Negative is that AVG likes to do a complete software scan when I log on which takes forever, so I hung a spare HDD in my box and moved about 25gig of files I rarely use but can't live without from C: to D:.

i'll try the Avast4home...and register it as a student!

here is why: http://www.thepcspy.com/articles/other/ ... ows_down/5

and the AVG is nothing better than Avast...so he is my second choise!
and about McAfee - it's not free of charge...

I've been using Avira from a German company for years. It's not a resource hog like AVG is for you crunchers out there. I like the fact it also does root kit detection in the free version. Not a lot of free ones offer that. it updates daily. Check it out at http://www.free-av.com/

Thanks for the tip-off Bill. I'm going to try it now.

It's good to know that Symantec is improving their Antivirus program.

Right now I only have one installation of Systemworks 2005. The rest are all running AVGâ€™s free Antivirus scanner.
