Kaspersky Internet Security...it worths to pay once for a sefe terminal...

Came free on my motherboard CD

I don't use AVs, I've other Security methods.
Kaspersky is a good one actually.

If you've got any keygens or cracks you will probably get fed up of your software being deleted with the false positives if you use AVG, I know I did.

Consequently I've tried most of the well known products in the last couple of weeks, and Nod32 easily comes out top of the list. Make sure you get the latest version (3.0.621.0)

Indeed.

NOD32 and Kaspersky have had their glory in the past, but right now they are not doing as well, they both have issues, I personally have used these apps for around 8-10 years.

Avira right now has a higher detection rating and seems to be smoking these both pretty good at the moment so I made a switch to the AntiVir PE Premium, and it's damm better then NOD32 and KAV.

Avira has a better version for free then Avast, and NOD32 or TrendMicro are not that good either. Right now I'd take Avira over all of them.

I've never seen TrendMicro ever rated as a good app since they've been around.

Just checked free version from Avira. And once I compare:

http://www.avira.com/en/products/personal.html

and

http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html

Maybe it has better scan engine but comparing what you get in free version of avast? POP3, IM, P2P monitoring, firewall etc. I'll check up on forum mentioned above but for end / home user I still think avast has more to offer

As for "big" antivirus companies eg, McAfee, Norton, TrendMicro they always say or I wouldn't mind say that they are better.

I know out biggest telecom uses McAfee + TrendMicro. Right now I'm curious what IT admins in big companies use. Personally we have TrendMicro VirusWall here where I work and to tell you the truth I still didn't see / feel any problems or infection on any of our workstations.

But I'm always open for suggestions and advice

Truth is once something is introduced into the box it's going to be detected, having all these fancy addons and ports is just fluff, POP3, IM, P2P monitoring, firewall etc. BUT having a firewall I won't argue there...


Sorry what are you saying aboyt the "big" here?


Big companies typically stick with the big names, it's just the way it has been, like they say if it ain't broke... BUT put it this way, if they also have smart Admins then the boxes that are on the WAN are not able to do much other just some surfing to a few spots and that's about it, so REALLY no viruses/malware etc., should be getting in.

SO in truth these companies use the big names, but then they don't really have much going on for them either because if they did then they'd really see problems, if they really had boxes opened up to the WAN, and people could surf and do as much as a Home user, surf the porn and warez underground, P2P, etc... LOL....

I agree that most big companies block stuff so in reality they don't take the heat that average user does by clicking who know where and downloading everything where it says "Click and download one million $$$"

If I take Avira as avntivirus only. Do you have any recommended firewall by wilders security forum to go with Avira? Right know on my home pc I'm using Comodo. It can be pain to configure at start but after that works great
