Which Antivirus do you Use?

[stove]

kaspersky. btw i find that norton is a big resource hog.

[dying]

avast! 4
that's a good one :)

[Mrrrr]

CA Etrust Antivirus

[Herakles]

none.of course.The best antivirus is the dead antivirus :)

[solaris]

well i use bitdefender antivirus v10 :)

[nemil2k5]

i use kapersky...used to use NOD32, but that doesnt catch all the viruses. so i switched to kaspersky a few weeks back.

[BgdFinest]

i use kapersky 6

[teeps]

avg free of course! not that its every running lol

[shankly69]

Currently I'm using McAfee as it is free on my laptop for 30 days! What are people's recommendations regarding anti-virus?

[nasik9]

kaspersky 6 its the best

[xhtml]

In Windows I use AVG free, but most time I spend with Linux and I don't need any anti virus there :P

[FireMan]

Kaspersky v6.0 the best AV at the moment for me.

[heartsease]

avast but am always open to suggestions for a better av

Guyver your DIGAF app cracked my sorry hide up, to funny

[eltipo]

Kaspersky v6.0.2

[HKM]

Now I am on a platform which makes virus virutally obeselete for one reason beacuse of the secure base structure and advance permission file structure. Now thats just normal now I took it step far now I have issolated each threads and it can't actually access outside it. This is known as a Nd1 containers.

[natalie]

NOD32 is the best

[KevinGarnet]

i am surprised that there isn't bitdefender antivirus.. nowadays a lot of people use bitdefender and are happy.. it's really great antivirus.. it doesn't require a lot of resources of pc and have really big virus base.. so i use it.. but i think who know pc very well can't use antivirus.. only need is fw (firewall).. but then you will need very good fw like zone alarm or outpust.. it's my opinion..

[itS0v3r]

i dont use :P

[Giallorosso]

kaspersky

[SaveFerris]

AVG Anti-Virus.

[hema999]

nod 32

[Something Else]

Alvira Free, great AV reviews in this months PCPro (UK)

[birney29]

i am using AVG never used kaspersky 6 so couldnt say its better than that but i think its better than mcafee and symnatec :D

[tevez]

Nod 32.

[zd0d]

I'm using Norton security and antivirus (the whole suite) 2007. I was using 2005 until a few days ago. Does the job for me.

[pazsh]

I use Kaspersky..
It take low memory from system and blocks most of the viruses i believe..
I heard about NOD32 But never tried it..
I tried zonealarm which after installation reboot my computer with no reason...
So it's kinda buggy one.....

[tupac]

I use Kaspersky. It's the best antivirus. My previous antivirus was Norton, but it slowed down my crappy PC. Kaspersky runs smoother and I had no problems with viruses.

[Gordion]

NOD32. Works like a charm :)

[geove]

Nod32 i think is the best

[xbawksz]

AVG free :P

[DV8type]

NOD32. The power and small foot print is great....although i also run Kapersky on another computer.

[sear]

NOD32. The power and small foot print is great....although i also run Kapersky on another computer.


Agreed NOD32 is the best when you weigh up all the competing factors.

[Sin4pz]

How come theres no Bitdefender selection in the poll? Been using
BD for some time now. Updates on the hour and no false positives.
Various awards, small resource footprint, etc.
Kasperky is my second choice. Avast for freeware.

[blEnder]

Use Nod32. It works great.

I had been using TrendMicro for years and years and was fine with it, but the 2007 version was way too bloated and too much a resource hog to warrant its continued use, so I switch to Nod32 after reading some great reviews on it (and used their 30-day free trail).

[Tagentx]

I was pretty sure my mcafee wasnt going to be tops in this.

[T3RR0R]

NOD32 is the best i have ever used.

[PoOki]

NOD32 = The best :)

[Necrophag]

NOD32, been using it for 4 years and never looked back to software packages like Norton which eats your memory up and doesn't do the job.

[ZurdO]

Kaspersky with all ver. that i'm use .
good for every com. againest every kind of virus .

[Michellin]

I use NOD32 and kaspersky, so far my computer is still riding smoothly

[Doombringer]

NOD32 Ftw !

[Tbag]

Mcafee Ftw.

[munaaf]

Mine isnt on list, its BitDefender IS v10. Supposed to have best detective results out of all of them

[WooleyBooger]

Avg...

[dbmp]

Always used AVG, my vote goes there. :)

[dbmp]

Sorry for the double post.

[Mötley]

I Use Avast. It's free and it works well.

[heliumkg]

symantec corp hasn't let me down yet!

[tangerine]

[KSA]

ZoneAlarm v10, /AntiVirus + AntiSpyware + Strong Firewall ...

[Steven Gerrard]

[swizZ8]

nod32

[mysterious]

Kaspersky Internet Security 6.0

[twinpeaks]

Never used one. never had a virus, it's all a conspiracy to take your RAM.. :O

[shazzar]

Use avg one and nod32 on other. Both Excellent programs.

[adirze]

I use Kaspersky and pretty pleased with it. :)

[MSF]

i don't use AV : P

[adli700]

i used to stay without antivirus

[sexydingo]

Nod32

[ibuprofeno]

[game1283]

[bwaduk]

[dbmp]

I've changed from AVG to NOD32. :P

[briand5379]

I wouldn't mind seeing a new poll as this one is a few years old. I use norton by the way.

[sanathsunny]

i prefer bitdefender is the best..........................

dont think of any thing,bitdefender is best and best i am using since 1year

[Jaggster]

NOD32, the best antivirus imo :)

[ebeli]

I was using for long time Avast but i change it last week to Bitdefender and it's perfect. It has all the thing what good antivirus should have.

[ROFL-LOL]

I'm using BitDefender now.

[dave12]

avast home its good enough for me

[Obscurax]

Nod32 + firefox and noscript = 98% secure system. been using it for years now it's awsome

[bataya]

nod32

[ROFL-LOL]

Now i'm using NOD32 and it's the best of all.

[ScoFiel:D]

NOD32 The best

[OTO]

Kaspersky

[misledhope]

avg. its yet to fail me

[DooMeD68]

NOD32 is the best by far ! smallest to install - smallest amount of resources used !

[Something Else]

None FTW! No resources used and virus free for 6 yrs and counting...

[misledhope]

heh how can one be sure they are free of viruses without scanning for them ?

[golya123]

I Use Panda

[Gish]

AVG has everything I need and it's also free:)

[silvester]

i use kaspersky

[toti]

Kapersky

[FlyingPJ]

ZoneAlarm

[jonzyx]

nod32 is the best

[JAZZ2]

norton the best

[misledhope]

norton the best


you poor misguided soul

[MEDO2008]

kaspersky is the best one

[xps600]

None.


Same here I think in the end they all cause problems.

[I beleive.....]

NOD 32 rulz

[nicho]

None. I only have Mac's and linux boxes.

[psysex]

McAfe and nod32

[dnero73]

Nod32

[fantasyx72]

norton all day

[stitched]

i was using nod 32..after a few days i realised it was taking up a lot of ram space.. i unistalled it...right now my computer is anti virus free.. i have 512kb ram..nod used to take 13-20kb couldnt even play fifa 08 properly

[Tenebrous]

NOD32 is the best detector and the small resource-eater. Panda is good too but takes all processor and RAM memory when is working.

[TSiX]

I think, NOD32 is the best ;)

[orka]

NOD 32, nicely bought version...have lot trust in it. and like it a lot.

[dufuS]

NOD32. Probably the best one.. I really should get the new version... :)

[Eytan]

+1 NOD32 is teh safest one for sure

[masdani]

+2 nod32

use nod32 since 2004

great AV

:D :D

[sleepyy]

sophos works great for me :D very good to tweak

[hvymetal86]

NOD32, destroys everything else.

[Acid_death69]

NOD32 will just do what you want it to do and you dont have to tell it:D

[Saroman]

NOD32 Anytime ;)

[R_M_F]

nod32 as you can see in my sig :P

[Charles Lindbergh]

Hi people !!!

I was using KAV for years but I'm last few months on NOD32 and I think that he's also great. They are smillar in fact.

Regards !!!

[kostnkost]

Which one out of all of them posted use the LEAST amount of resources though??

I am currently using AVG on my laptop, and to me hasn't been much of a resource hog. Is there one that is better?

[jamie]

Avast!

[mayhemInc]

NOD32, never had a problem with it :)

[AuReDo]

Hi.....Just wondering.......What antivirus is the best , and which antivirus do you recommend/use?

[shijo]

I was using lavasoft ad aware se with avg (less memory usage)
kaspersky is the best but you have to buy it they will find the pirated apps after sometime

but now I am not using any anti virus just using no-script (ff extension) and mcafee site adviser and adblock plus
if I feel my PC slow down I just roll back norton ghost image that is easy takes only 6 min to restore, much less than searching whole PC for virus,and no waste of bandwidth updating virus definitions

in my opinion there is no best antivirus .If u got a virus even if you find it and delete it something will remain in pc to slow it down like a change in registry
just avoid suspected sites it will save a lot of time

[phitzc]

I use avast. works real good at detecting trojans. its free, works better than most pay anti-virus software. It doesn't hog memory resources.

[tiolewis]

I dont use antivirus ... and my PC works fine.

If you take care of what you download there is no problem ...

[DyNast]

NOD32
Best I tried so I stick with it ;P

[n_c]

NOD32 -> Kapersky

[stok]

I think avast is pretty good,
I use it on my laptop.

[AuReDo]

my personal opinion : kaspersky it's the best ...... never had problem when I'd used it

[maddoxro]

none :ermm:

[maddoxro]

none :D

[heis]

NOD32 here, I used to go with kaspersky for a long time but it's license keys were getting blacklisted waay too often, so once I got pissed and went for nod, which I think is as good as kav or even better.

[sleepyy]

Sophos

[0ctane]

avg free on main pc and nod32 on laptop :)

[gunmetal]

Used Avg, and NOD32.

[Zeus1]

kaspersky 7 the best

[Ghost+Rider]

<3 Nod32

[freakguy]

I use Kaspersky.
Nod32 in my laptop.

[whiteyes]

nod32 -> avira
will try to use kaspersky

[AuReDo]

nod32 -> avira
will try to use kaspersky

you won't regret if you'll try kaspersky.....

[maddoxro]

i also think that kaspersky is much better and that nod32...

[hijump]

Nod 32 ...

[kbiaku]

Kapersky and only Kapersky :)

[roddy]

Nod32 is the best

[shijo]

:ermm:
none
that is it none is best and none is needed by a pc if u have account in some good trackers

[suckit1]

Nod32 here

[MaaxHimself]

Kaspersky all the way

[t0mmy]

ESET Smart Security now, before it was NOD32 samething, just updated one :o

[Aaxel21]

I like to use McAffe and Ad-Aware with thoes two I never really have any problems.

[mysterious]

Kaspersky

[Papps78]

None :)

[deni$]

kaspersky the king:thumbsup::thumbsup:

[hit79]

Kis 2006 Is The Best.

[Saroman]

NOD32 all the way..

[StefanSamara]

kaspersky ftw

[$SnoopDo2G$]

I used to use Avast untill it got infected and fucked up my comp,
Then now im using AVG freeware it's clean and shit...very good antivirus

And im using Nod32 on Virtual PC 2007 with XP modded ;)

[lilpiggie]

Trend Micro! Small, fast and doesn't take up much ram like mcafee and norton!

[ryan437]

Kaspersky like the fact it only has 2 process for the whole program

[ZedZedZed]

Nod32

[ajsi]

im behind the router so i have just nod32 and it's fine

[Tarniz]

NOD32 as many others here. I have never had any problem with viruses since i begun use NOD32.

I am using other AV apps also but i dont think i need them when i got NOD32. Great and fast updates as well. It autoupdates about two times a day. Perfect AV solution!

[pone44]

i use no anti virus, anymore. just don't visit sites with bad content, u will be fine!

[Haze1]

another vote for nod32

[IsisBast]

Hey their...

i just got a new computer and i'm jusing norton until it runs out, and it runs like a charme, i had kaspersky on my old computer but i dittin't i had that much to offer as norton...

I was just wondering kaspersky norton which Is Better...:unsure:

[AuReDo]

definitely kaspersky is much better

[carpediemm]

nod32 is simply the best:)

[error554]

Nothing on my mac. Use Mcafee and Adaware on my VPC WinXP box. But usually it is turned off. Don't really care if it get's zapped :P I just roll back to a previous state and continue what I was doing.

[lolek1]

For long time - kaspersky & kerio. Now only Outpost, no antivirus!

[helsing]

I recommend you NOD32, its the fastest one available and it passed most tests as the most effective one. If you use it in cooperation with Ad-aware and Spybot: S&D you should be safe.

[txlonghorn]

Its funny no one uses Norton.

[Not Complete]

Norton is Symantec.

[p-h-x]

I used AntiVir until a few days, I installed avast! but it was too clumsy for my taste, so I switched back to AntiVir.

[robert88]

nod32 ftw

[LoKaLiRi]

Nod32 is good :D

[danio]

i use nod32, but i hear kaspersky is good?

[AuReDo]

i use nod32, but i hear kaspersky is good?

yes , kaspersky is the best
:happy:

[Magnum]

Kaspersky Internet Security is the best!!!!!!!

[aysomc]

I dont use antivirus ... and my PC works fine.

If you take care of what you download there is no problem ...

same here, been pirating software and very active all over the internet for years without a problem and no antivirus software. just be smart.

[Blackbeard]

I use avg.

[AuReDo]

I use avg.

yes . avg is pretty good , my second preference after kaspersky

[melatonin]

NOD32 2 Rule Them All !

[eyeb4ll]

I used Kaspersky for a long time but I swiched it to NOD32.

[mera]

I like NOD32, it doesn't much resources and its pretty effective!

[FiftyGame]

I havn't used antivirus in about 3 years. Really havn't had a problem either.

Once in a while I may get spyware but nothing that really matters.

I found all anti virus programs to be very heavy on system resources.

[Swift]

i tested all of them but non .. tested POSITIVE for my PC ;) ===> i do not use a anti virus

[Magnum]

I have been using KIS vers.6.0.2 and no problem!(Oldies by goodies):)

[x34]

NOD32 Thats a easy question :P

[AverageJo]

NOD32..fastest, lightest and with the best heuristic scanner and almost no false positives.

[godfather00]

NOD32 is the best for me... + some good firewall... For example Kerio or Sygate... :D

[up4a_laugh]

AVG free - it's the one i've found to work the best, so I'll carry on using it.

[AverageJo]

NOD32 is the best for me... + some good firewall... For example Kerio or Sygate... :D

Go for Comodo, thats the best possible firewall available, and whadya know, its FREE :D

[the mighty]

AVG is great, but I usually use a Mac. Mac's don't need antivirus software, right?

[chip19]

On all the PCs I have, I use Avast Free Edition. It is free, and I've found that it does a better job than Norton and McAffe. Whenever I do spyware clean-up for people, I install Avast for them simply because I don't understand why people would pay for an anti-virus software when such a good free alternative exists.

On Mac, I don't use any anti-virus. No need, yet.

[Scavenger]

Nod32, It's stable and light.

[alin18]

nod 32

[trotest]

KAV or NOD32 is always a good choice

[FalconAce]

Before I started using NOD32, which was a long time ago, I used Norton. NOD32 is much better and it increased boot time by alot compared to Norton.

[rpeters1428]

I used Kaspersky for a while (6 mnths) and then converted to NOD32 and love it so far. It is easy to use and is light on system resources which I like.

[deuce6000]

NOD32 i have tried them all and nothing even comes close.I like AV to stay the fuck out of my way unless they are needed and this is the best for that.Pretty small resource usage and updates every day which is a must.


Before I started using NOD32, which was a long time ago, I used Norton. NOD32 is much better and it increased boot time by alot compared to Norton.


It increased your boot time???

[forix_r6]

NOD 32, I like the new version a lot also....

[pr1nz3]

nod32 rocks!

[gan.nez]

fist i used antivir; that was about 5 years ago; then avast; then McAffee then kaspersky; and then i found my love; nod32, no viruses since then, no problems at all, and small resource usage;
however the new version, i think it's he 3.0, is not that good as the older one; uses too much resources and the layout is made for amateurs

[fstokebanget]

I use no antivirus :P love my MBP, no virus, no spyware, no such programs installed so save a lot of system resources :)

[AverageJo]

I use no antivirus :P love my MBP, no virus, no spyware, no such programs installed so save a lot of system resources :)

You have already paid the price of an AV while buying a MBP m8 :whistling:D

[Something Else]

Having no AV rawks. !

[fstokebanget]

[rukshankb]

kaspersky is best

[AverageJo]

You have already paid the price of an AV while buying a MBP m8 :whistling:D

yeah, you're right :P, but somebody just could buy a MacBook ;)

Or get a Free AV like AVAST!...:P

What do you think about the cost difference buddy...;)

[redMonster]

I use nod32 now. The latest version is good.

[redMonster]

sorry. multiple post.

[redMonster]

sorry. multiple post.

[slobapet]

Kaspersky v6...

[omrano]

node 32.....simply is the best

[Scavenger]

Nod32, Light and works great.

[edgarb]

NOD32, but I am ready to try something else out now...

[henrik1234]

I use NOD32.

[AverageJo]

NOD32, but I am ready to try something else out now...


Why? When you're using the best available option :blink:

[tuque5889]

norton 360

[robert03]

avast! antivirus.

[wrjeff]

For my part, i use NOD32 (before it was Avast).

[tiger6ex]

NOD32 rullz...it gives no chance to any kind of antivirus, malware and other intruders...with this antivirus you must be or very stupid or very unlucky to get an antivirus on your computer.

Oh, I wouldn't need any of that...

[Ronnie Coleman]

NOD32. But not all the time. I install it every 2-3 months, fully update and do full system scan. Results are always good. Virus free. :)

At this stage of informations and good developed web browsers, with users self-consciousness, there are no reasons for OS infection. :)

[dscmbbltd]

Kaspersky atm. But will be switching to NOD32. (:

[el-pablo]

nod32 is the best according to numerous reviews

[ByteKnight]

Avg

[elfaham]

McAfee antivirus best for me

[SAM]

avg for me

[pr1nz3]

nod32 rocks.....:D

[krunktastic]

I quit using antivirus after I stopped visiting porn sites. The problem is, viruses don't get sent to Kaspersky and NOD32 right after they're made. They have to be discovered before they can be blocked, which means new viruses aren't affected by antivirus in the first place. I've always found av to be more trouble than it's worth.
