I downloaded Symantec Norton AntiVirus 2003 Professional Edition last September, after my legitimate version expired, it's great ... it automatically removes viruses without a full virus scan!

[ozzfreak]

AVG it werked for me

i got a virus from kazaa and nortin never found it

[ShockAndAwe^i^]

What's this "AVG" thingy?

[jay973]

Ive got AVG on my desktop and I run Norton systemworks on my laptop.Gotta say they are both good.Only difference is one is legally free and the other can be free if you want it to be! :D

avg is a freely available anti virus program.
it can be downloaded from here (http://www.grisoft.com/)

i've had a few probs with it though, so i'll stick with norton

[ultimatejester]

NORTON ANTIVRIUS but i have been getting a few problems with live update

[zapjb]

Both. NAV as resident AV. AVG as non-resident AV. :)

[stray]

I use Kaspersky lite.

AVG failed to detect a virus and Norton caused problems with other software :)

[FinalTheorem]

no one's mentioned PC-cillin yet, I use it, and think it's much better than Norton AntiVirus & AVG. I had a virus on my computer that NAV didn't find, then when I installed PC-cillin, it found it and removed it.

What do you guys think about pccillin? :D

[{SlackeR}Dimebag]

[slick nick]

Kaspersky pro. i had a problem hogster is asking about that has suto protect disabled as well as the live update thingy fucked up. After i uninstalled that shit and used the demo version of kaspersky that shit found three virus including one the xvid codecs that i got off kazaa that was in my folder for 3 weeks! It's kaspersky all the way. Pc-cillin ccame with my first computer and I thought it was trash. Windows me came with it also and we all know windows me is trash. :P

actually Microsoft bought these guys RAV antivirus (http://www.ravantivirus.com/pages/shownews.php?i=153)

i'm a fan of Norton - no problems
AVG is good if you want to stay on the right side of the law

[BAZ_CELEBS]

I've been using AVG "Grisoft Free Version" for about two years, and i have had no problem.
Good stuff & free!

This has been discussed many times. As usual, everyone has their own oppinion. I'll throw in my 2 cents:

I set up tests with several different computers, each running a different AV and loading them with infected files. I tested Norton, Symantec, TrendMicro, AVG Free, ZoneAlarm with AV & Spyware, NOD32, and Avira AntiVir.

Norton & Symantec were the worste and found almost none of my infected files. Avira AntiVir (free version) was the best and found 100% of them, AVG was second best and found most but not all Virii.

ZoneAlarm was very good at finding Spyware, but not so good at finding Virii.

After all my testing and from personal experience, my preference is Avira AntiVir. Best of all, it's free :D

You didn't even mention Nod32.... I've been using Nod32 for years now and have never had a problem... It's also very low on recources. Norton on the other hand is completely opposite.

For me Kasperky Internet Security 6 is the best.

i completely agree i was using 2005 and 2006 NAV and wow my computer got really slow. i actually just recently went back to NAV 2003 enterprise edition works like a charm. no eye candy crap.

kaspersky

[peat moss]

kaspersky



I see a new version is out 6.0.1 4.11 , can't wait to try when my Vista bugger's up . I'll reinstall Win XP and thats my choice but will install the Internet Security version . :)


I'm a Norton or F-Secure fan but tried Kaspersky and right away it found a Trojan on a back up cd I had of old programs . The others did n't so I made the switch but sadly it 's not compatable with Vista .

[grchl3]

I like NOD32.
