Which Antivirus do you Use?

dont run any antivirus app. used to run norton anti virus which detected regularly some funny windows viruses. but never a mac one. so i feel quite save within this minority.:)
does anyone ever found a mac-virus? and do you think its too risky without protection?
ohh, i run littleSnitch. that alarms me evertime some process wants to connect to the internet.

i dont have anti virus running
on occasion i will scan and i use Kaspersky when i do.

and marek yes there are mac virii,but not many people exploit mac like they do windows because look at the number of windows users versus mac/linux etc..
if i wanted to get the most out of my mal code i would attack windows for sure.

Why oh why are there people using McAffe????? :frusty:

I just spent 2 hours trying to uninstall it from a womans puter, fecking useless piece of shit. Sorry but seriously, if anyone wants you to try McAffe........don't!!

I use Kaspersky btw :)

Jonno :cool:

tried Symantec Corp 8 and 9 they both missed a few.Both were difficult to totally uninstall..Nod32 for me,very light weight,updates frequently and has an easy to understand gui.

Symantec Corp

Norton Antivirus 2005.

none, no firewall, no antivirus. Still have no virus and dont need one.

Its just a computer. If i get something bad just reformat. Nothing too hard. Fuck protecting it.

Nod32 + Sygate personal firewall pro

best combination ever.

Kaspersky

Eats up all my resources, but does the job.

avg suits me well

Thats something I'd expect from Norton user's . :P But I use Symantec Corp.and still cry when ever I reboot. It's really hard to switch tho is in't it . You find one that keeps you safe and stay with it.

I don't use one.
Oh my god, what's happening? My computer just............

eTrust Antivirus, very light, uses next to no system resources and had no trouble with it.

norton systemworks 2005, just installed today.

Its not bad but run the other goodies off the cd instead of installing on hdd.

KAV or NOD32. Right now NOD32 as realtime & KAV (3.5 older version) as on demand.

I use Kaspersky. NOD was just taking too much away from my resources for me to live with and with every bootup, the machine took forever to get ready. With KAV there are no such problems. I am up and running in one quarter of the time. And on my other machine, I don't use a AV at all. I mean, come on, when was the last time linux users had to worry about a virus. :-)

NOD32 all the way :D

NOD32 all the way.
I've used Norton, Macaffee, Avast, BitDefender and several others, but so far NOD32 blew them all away.
Of course, I also use a less-known antivirus as back-up, which I'm not naming here, so my success-rate on nailing virusses and other no-no's is near 100%.
NOD32 is set to scan things first, and after it is done, the other one kicks in and scans a second time.
The second one is slower, and NOD32 still caught probably some 99.9% of nasty things trying to infect me, but there have been a few cases (two so far, over the last year... maybe three or four since I went for NOD32 some two-and-a-half years ago) where NOD didn't pick up a nasty, and the other one did.

I am using NOD32 2.50.25 :)

<3 NOD32 <3
I had never heard about this antivirusprogram before I came over a review at some hardware/software page. After I read it I started using at once and I have never regret. In my opinion is the best program I ever have used. I've tried alot of different programs but this is the shit.
It's lightweight and does use alot of resources like Symantec and so on.
It's clean, simple and have a huge list of viruses in it's database. Not that other programs don't, but it small, unknown and therefore very protected against big virus that is attacking Symantec, Panda and tries to disable them. No one have designed virus to disable NOD32. So therefore I like it alot.

So all my love to NOD32. Try it

Nod

this is nice and compact as well as resourse friendly and still holds out at being one of the best AV scanner programs

i have never seen it take the piss with my CPU & memory
except when doing a manual virus scan (duh)

I guess I'll try it

Norton Internet security 2005
good but kills the resources and it takes too much time when booting windows.
i hear too mcuh about NOD32, hows the live protection(auto protect)? ive used it once but never intended to keep it, and does it comes with a firewall like NIS2005?
the stand alone version which is used for scaning was good at catching virus but doesnt clean them enough.

Kaspersky Personal Pro v5.0.2

I use kaspersky, I used to use norton, but I switched to kaspersky to see what it was like, and it found much more then Norton.

The live protection is great, but that is my opinion. Never had problems with cleaning virus if there has been some.
NOD32 does noe come with a firewall like NIS2005, but I see it this way. If I want or need I firewall I just download it :)

i USE Ez Antivirus

Avast!

? What do you mean? Well, I know what you mean, Norton is made by the company Symantec, but they are 2 different programs. There is Symantec Antivirus Corporate, and then Norton Antivirus. The difference is that the latter must be payed for once a year, and the first one is a pay once kind of thing.

I have used avg and when I open the hiddin files it works better

Kaspersky Personal v 5.0.325 is what I use :)

AVG Free and Trend Housecall although I don't get viruses... :blink:

norton2005,trend micro online

The best is Kapersky

AVG...and ocassional online scan. I also use TDS-3 as a trojan scanner.

Peace bd

norton internet security 2005. but I've used symantec corp. and mcafee products before. don't know why I like norton products. I do think the ad blocker is the best around...blocks everything :)

kaspersky

Norton (Symantec systemworks 2004). I've used AVG and liked it. I've hated McAffee for years - it always had conflicts with other software I was using.

My favorite AV software was Thunderbyte. It was an excellent product back in the days of MsDos, but it got swallowed up by another AV company (Norman). You can read about TBAV from it's author's website

I've tried Norman's AV and never found it anywhere as good as TBAV.

I've ben using Avast and am very happy!
