Which Antivirus do you Use?

[kooftspc11]

i dont really like to use any but i have nod32 running

[YONITED]

kaspersky

[yoco]

I'm using Bitdefender Internet Security

[puffin]

nod32 here:)

[copacabana]

For me Avast is the best.

[Quarter]

I don't use an anti virus.

[technohive]

I am currently using AVg because it doesnt lag up my pc and also it was easier to download and it is handly.

[Aeyen]

You misspelled Kaspersky hehe. I use Kaspersky because it's really good, but too bad I got it legally, only as a demo, because it's so hard to find a torrent for Kaspersky, I've tried AVG before and also Norton.Avast was good too, but pretty strict, it wa sso hard to play online games w/ Avast around.McAfee did not clean my comp out of the viruses so I just switched to Kaspersky. Good luck everyone out there looking for an Anti Virus!

[Crutavv]

NOD32 /3 years without problem/

[ciprinho]

definetly norton, it is doing the job perfectly for me since 2004 till now

[ivenkii]

bit defender since one year no problem at all.....

[panoli]

kis7 its da best and very light.

[wooh]

mcafee works like charm:)

[torrentdude]

I'm with Avast and even though it's a little laggy sometimes, it does do a good job. Any non-laggy AV's out there?

[joblolabinette]

Panda works pretty well.

[Spyrus909]

kis7 its da best and very light.+1 mate just da best!

[hatetrade]

only NOD32

[Definite]

NOD32, fast, minimalistic, does its job while keeping out of my way.

[Pazzini]

I use Nod32 and Kaspersky....

[ideto]

Kaspersky Internet Security 7

[moh12]

Mcafee. Maybe i need to get a popular program as identified by the poll.

[bALKANbOY]

kaspersky for about 5 years - no problems

[flashback3r]

NOD32 is the best! Fast scans, doen't miss any malware, uses very litte CPU, looks great...

[tanakmonitor]

NOD32 is the best

[Nemanja]

Hmm , I think different , Kaspersky is the greatest product from MOTHER RUSSIA :D

[Swift]

Nod32 wins as usual :D

[ssSssttttt]

urf not in the list => Bitdefender internet security 2008 (1 of the best antivirus with KASPERSKY according to test :D)

[cRaZyzMaN]

not listed

avira

[Zeus1]

Nod32

[sublime1]

i use sophos antiviris 2.0

[IdolEyes787]

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.

Even the best antivirus is not perfect.Better to use a virtualization program like Sandboxie for high risk browsing.That being said I run Nod32 and KIS.Makes me feel better.

[syncsyncsync]

NOD32, fast and lightweight, although Kapersky has some good features for laptops. Haven't tried the latest NOD32 yet tho

[dmanjohn]

AVG just because I've used it for so long

[thevito1]

I m use NOD32

[DasFox]

avira !

[rhak]

+1 for NOD32.
I used before Kapersky.

[saqib]

nod32 rocks... light on resources , powerful protection , easy to use gui

[GuitarLegend]

Kapersky the best ;)

[BadFungus]

nod32 better than kapersky

[SliDer5]

avast for me


nod32 rocks... light on resources , powerful protection , easy to use gui

nod have one little problem: it is stopping processes, I mean complete freeze for time of checking :huh:

[warnoob]

I used to Nod32 but now i use Avast because its free and good enough.

[THEROCk313]

Kaspersky

[positive]

I've tried almost all of them but Kaspersky irritates me lest.Lots of compatibility problems with other antiviruses.

[Qlix]

Non. It's useless if you know how to stay safe.

[matrixTalk]

NOD32 best one

[puurlucky]

nod32 already have it for 5 years and never regretted it kaspersky is also a good one

[yestv]

kaspersky 7.0

[tiolewis]

None ...

[Emma1979]

i use virgin medias very own pcguard. Very good software for detecting viruses but it also doesnt use much cpu memory to run it

[Sonnentier]

NOD32 is prolly the best out there...
yeah I think the same, runs fluently and can also identify crypted trojans in real time, very good av

[dolcegabbana]

NOD32 Is the Best
=]

[Atrofiado]

Zomg, how can you not know that KIS is the best one out there? :p

[BigMike01]

I have been using Nod32 4ever and never had a prob so i must vote nod.

[marquinhooo]

I use Norton and NOD32.

[kaiser]

Using NOD32 for a very long time now. Best thing around IMHO.
My advice don't ever even consider trying G-data software ;)

[Disme]

Kaspersky ... the best !

[jakub19911]

I apply NOD32 iit is best

[metrofan]

Avira is soooo light! And never had a problem, even browsing on highly dangerous sites.
You should consider adding Avira to the pool.

[pifpaf]

Kaspersky... great antivirus

[kai0was]

NOD 32 is the best.

[Septimus]

Avg

[BigDude]

Nod32 it is the best antivirus in the whole universe!

[czlada]

Avast 4.7 Home Edition

[Blade0rz]

Kaspersky rocks! :)

Used to use AVG, but then it started to just...well...cease to function after a while :/

[yasobelber92]

I use Kaspersky, but it's always off :D

[Alessandro]

Nod 32 of course

[Swift]

Nod32 all the way !

[hotshot6473]

Nod32 is so much cleaner than the other progams. No contest

[sandra]

none :P

[Zeact]

nod32 3.0:D

[Ri0T]

Nod32 Ftw!

[tenis69]

Norton 360.

[yorner]

Kaspersky internet security 7!

[KiNdZiUs]

Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0

[SokolOFF]

Nod32 2.7

[ernestina]

NOD32...and ussually mcafee

[sch0k]

And where is Avira?
Tested the most antivirus programs, and I feel Avira AntiVir works best on good security for an active sharer.
And it's free :)
Or I will recommend Kaspersky.

[optimus78]

Nod32

[antonii]

Symantec Antivirus ;-] i voted

[BadFungus]

NOD32 , better than kaspersky

[under.zero]

NOD32 the best

[notyviv]

AVG, Norton, NOD32
I keep shifting between these so all these are the best for specific reasons.

[Costello]

now personaly i use nod32 but the best antivirus is Sophos Antivirus it used even BY Gmail
all antivirus are good if they have updates daily

[munaaf]

I would reccomend Kaspersky, i really liked it and was probably the best, however it rely slowed my computer, so if u have a really poor one like mine forget the big names, like KAV and Bitdefender etc they all kill the speed of ur comp. Now i would say use Avast, not the best but if ur comp cant take the others then it can take this :P

[waeldiab]

Nod32

I've tried different ones but like this one the best

[WardenRo]

Avira AntiVir. It's small and does its job. :happy:

[trebor31]

Tried avg and norton b4 but now sticking with KIS its brill:)

[Wombat Stevens]

ClamWin and good sense.

[zero0]

NOD32 is the best

[PRINCE]

i use Kapersky
very good antivirus

[The Flying Cow]

Eset Nod32 Ftw

[twe4k]

eheh none !
I had norton before, but I realised it sucks kinda big, so when it expired, I never renewed it. If you aren't stupid and make sure to be careful on the net, there is no problem...

But I install antivir on all my friend's machines and will install it after my next reformat, and I'll soon setup a nice firewall with m0n0wall, pretty bulletproof :P

[enigma123]

Sophos AV :)

[lolapa]

NOD32, i think its the best out there atm

[F.B.I]

I have to agree with you :)

[markupmaster]

Avg...

:d

[DATTER]

Kaspersky <3 For me, the best!

[Axoric]

i use avg. but i rarely let some virus get on my system.

[n0_NaMe]

Nod32 Ftw!

[zyduuu666]

I use Nod32 but i have a problems with Outlook Express.It says when N32 is installed = "the confirmation could not be sent".

[conopida]

[some.one]

Kaspersky Internet Security v7.0

[ovisan]

NOD32
Antivirus Antispyware Firewall Antispan
Wot else should I ask 4?

[bitmelover]

KAV the best

[pr0ntastic]

I use AVG now but Kaspersky is better, anyway voted AVG

[EuroBean]

Also Kaspersky 6 cause i can get free keys for it and it works perfect 4 me. :D

[Ramus]

kaspersky does the job!

[mansour]

nod32 and it is work fine with me

[Beamen]

AVG on 1 computer NOD32 on the other :cry:

[LuckIEE]

non never needed one they make the computer slow and in my life only had one virus which used to shutdown the system after certain time thats about it. invest in a good router instead they have a built in firewall and it doesnt slow your system down :happy:

[fOrUmAs]

AVG 8 Pro and it is pretty good

nod32 have disappointed me lately

[Nykon1969]

Well between all my systems and my family's systems I think I use all of them

[C.H.A.O.S]

I tried all the anti-virus prog a round and I only fully trusted KasperSky.

[rtxs]

I use nod32, its light and make the pc protect...

[ahcorac72]

Kaspersky 7
Very good antivirus

[gabelcojo]

I'm using nod32 for some time and i think he is worth my vote.

[tknaught]

I have been using NOD32 for a very long time and was a big fan until it let me get infected by Vundo even after I manually scanned the suspicious file. Then it was unable to clean the virus either :ermm:

[KalleKnut]

I am using Kaspersky. I really recommend it to all of you. I've tried Nod32 and Symantec something but Kaspersky is far the best antivirusprogram out there. :)

[Konvict]

Trend

[agent609]

i dont see avira in the list.. thats a good one too..

[Toptte]

I use Virus Chaser.

[Vegiboy]

Kaspersky!

Fast virus scan, and it looks good.

[kid16k]

Kaspersky Internet Security 7 (because you can easily get keys and it is the best anti-virus-prog)

[Bulaggi]

NOD32 the best one there is me opinium ;)

[j51im]

Linux is the best option ;-)

[Kallileo]

BitDefender Total Security 2008 :)

[sedky]

NOD 32

is the best

[Mycr0]

I use nod32 because :
1.is one of the best AV
2.not consume so many resources

[Distinguished]

MCaffeee....

[kita]

AVG is the way to go.

[yeyo666]

Avast has been my favourite for the last 12 months at least. Very stable!

[slax]

most of time i`m ussing Linux OS...but in windows norton dose the trick:):01:So...Long Live Linux OS;))

[copacabana]

avast is very good, it offers stability and it does not use too many resources

[h1ronakamura]

Avira

[Distinguished]

lolz.. Long live this thread.. :p

NoD32!

[Express]

I use NOD 32. i think its the best antivirus so far

[#Palestinian#]

nod32 is the best ever , it's downloaded on all pcs in my home

[belgrade]

KIS = No.1 on the world

[Picasso]

Nod32. Less resource hungry IMHO

[shag]

I don't use a AV as I know exactly what I am dling and don't do anything foolish :P if I did it would definitely be anything by ESET though

[yevgeny]

Nod32 with Sygate firewall ftw. lol.

[Sin4pz]

Why does Bitdefender hardly get mentioned much these days? Suposed to be excellent!

[kyind]

Avira antivirus pro

[dr jones]

nod32 is the best by far

[fOrUmAs]

I have used for long time nod32 but few days ago i wanted something new to try and i have installed avast professional and so far works great

and it is also recommended for other too

[marraqy]

nod32 the best

[drfreshstart]

this is my proof http://anti-virus-software-review.toptenreviews.com/ , bitdefender is the best of best, my computer's life seperated into two, before bitdefender and after bitdefender , all virus said bye bye when it downloaded, with bitdefender i am using 2 more very effective software which called stopzilla + webroot spy sweeper, they become woltran when together... and of course acronis is at the first line

[xtrem3]

I stoped using AV 2 years ago :D

[fOrUmAs]

I stoped using AV 2 years ago :D

well only if u are on linux OS :D

[nthpeter]

NOD32 is enough for me, fortunately i got a free license :happy:

[OldIronTits]

No A/V on neither *.nix nor XP

My progression (over many years) was McAfee, Norton, RAV, TrendMicro, BitDefender, KAV, GDATA, Nod-32.

Hardware and software firewalls, Sandboxie, online virus scans, Hostsman, SpywareBlaster, and Opera, have kept me completely virus/malware free for 1.5+ years. Making good decisions may be the most important ingredient.

[sk1LLaH]

Nod 32

[rtxs]

now i use nod32 but always use kaspersky

[ConkiZz]

NOD32! Best antivirus ever made imo.

[#Palestinian#]

Guys , this is an advice
no one use NOD32 , it's crap , worse than a crap , i have a laptop which has NOD32 on it and updating it's database regularly and i found out that Viruses control the whole NOD32 , I removed it and tried to download Kaspersky but couldn't even lunch it cause the virus control everything in my laptop .

[asunasun]

I have been using NOD32 for two years, and it just fine.:)

I hear NOD 32 is the best, but I use AVG. It gets the job done.

[bubucea]

Nod32 v 2.7 is best for me.

[aliEnRIK]

None. Don't need one.

How do you work that out?

[forced]

why Etrust not listed on this poll its great anti virus !

[saulin]

people that say that don't need an antivirus and download illegal software are simply idiots. You can be very careful and you think you only download from reputable places and you know what you download but as long as you download illegal software on the net you will get infected. In fact, you could be infected, you just don't know it if you don't have a antivirus.

I have not been downloading anything and just looking for something and all of the sudden my AV comes up saying that a trojan was deleted. Just by visiting a website, so if I didn't have a antivirus then I guess I would get infected just by visiting a site.

[JGB]

Nod32 ftw:)

[businesscredit]

Before, I use Kaspersky but my friend recommend NOD32. I am satisfied now with my NOD32.

[ulla]

[Black]

I use avast! Antivirus .

[yevgeny]

definitely a convert to kaspersky. always been a fan of nod32 but im finding that kasper is picking up more stuff that nod missed.

[Rustican]

Kaspersky is always a decent choice.
Before Kaspersky, I used NOD32.

[Overlord]

Kaspersky has more false positives than NOD32.

[ulun64]

NOD32 is slacking...........

[snakebite]

Well let see I used Norton then MSN virus come around I tried Nod32 and that did no good..So a good friend told to use kaspersky.. so that work fablous and have not a problem since I used kaspersky.

Over three years old, this poll is surely out of date. What about starting a new one to make it more relevant?

[Giallorosso]

What the matter Chewie u sound a little upset or tick off...this post about anti-virus and being 3 yrs old 30 yrs old it still good to give your 2 cents worth about anti virus programs...this what the tread for my good man.

[Eliitti]

I have been using F-Secure, because I get it for free from the work.

[xxNARCOxx]

I use Bit Defender 2008. =)

[shadowking]

Used to use NOD32, but now I use Kaspersky because it is better in terms of detection rates.

[ringoismynamo]

I like NOD32....it just sits in the background doing its thing without fuss. I hate AV and Firewall programs that continually bug me with popups asking what I want to do next....

[McBride]

I user Kapersky!It's very good

[olla]

Nod32

[carnas]

Got rid of Norton, now use NOD32 which is so much better.

[saulin]

Haha a firewall can't stop virures you download on cracked or some non scene software. You may think you have nothing because you don't have an antivirus. Believe me. I'm very good with security and I'm careful and even I have downloaded infected software but my AV has taken care of it. If I didn't have any AV on the other hand... I would have been infected a few times.

[Pudenry]

Using ESET smart security and really liking it. Doesn't use huge amounts of system resources like a lot of other Anti-Virus programs.

[Roooney]

NOD32 is the best for me.

[yogsothoth]

I'm using Kaspersky for a couple of years

Kaspersky has the best ProDefense system of all AVs

[moepmoep]

Avira AntiVir + ThreatFire

[Trippin']

None. I started out with Norton Internet Security, but that slowed my PC down like a bitch. Next I switched to McAfee, that was a lot faster, but after a few months it would start slowing down.

I ran AVG for a couple of months, and that was pretty good. What really annoyed me though was that it blocked a lot of keygens, and even after disabling AVG you could not open the keygen. So, I gave up. Now I have no AV.

That's not very smart. Especially if you pirate software.

Either get a better system dude or try Kaspersky or NOD32 which don't seem to affect performance on the systems I tried it on.

Also never install the full security suite. AV+Firewall+Antispyware+other crap. All you need is AV and a the windows firewall and the firewall on your router active. When you install all the crap security software comes with, they will make your PC crawl. Especially Norton and Mcafee. Also if you have Vista just disable that windows defender crap. It does slow your system down.

None installed. Don't need it. Never had a virus on this PC, never will. Although I do download an antivirus from time to time just to be sure. But I always uninstall it right away, as they tend to only see fake problems that aren't really problems (bad cookies, oh no, am I going to die now?).

Also, they tend to use too much of my PC processing power, which I really need for my music production. Mostly they don't even have a function to turn the damn thing off (really off). Some viruses they detect, but can't delete them for some lame reason. You got to do that manually or download an other program to fix it. And what's with the reports for all those so called viruses in keygens and stuff. I know there are none, they know, but they want to keep bugging you about it anyways.
