Best Anti-Virus

[Beef-Mc]

Whats the best one out there at the minute, not fussed if it's free or have to pay for it?

After battling with XP Pro 2010 virus I need something to keep this crap out.

 

[steve 'o']

i find avast spot on (and free )

Used to use AVG and never had a problem

 

[David]

i use sophos, it's v good.

Cheers for the recommendations, have been recommended Kapersky from others.

After reading some posts here, I am now sold on MS security essentials. It's free and seems to do the job well.

 

[ViolentJ]

ESET NOD32 for me. As above have read good things about MS security essentials though.

My norton had 1 day left so i have just un installed it and downloaded ms security essentials, norton slowed the laptop down so bad.

Hopefully ms will be better

No antivirus can stop today's malware on it's own. They are simply changing too fast. For complete protection you need something like Comodo Internet Security which is totally free. http://www.comodo.com/home/internet-security/free-internet-security.php

I use both of these, works a treat. Been using them on Vista for 2 years now (Same install) and had no issues! (Also no BSOD, wahey)

Nice one. Norton has battered every single PC that I've seen it installed on. Hideous, overweight, invasive bloat-ware - imo.

I use NOD32 on my Windows machines.

colossuss presumably you are not running both antiviruses together? Have you installed the new Comodo CIS 4 yet? It is a great improvement on version 3 and asks very few questions as anything it doesn't recognise is run in a sandbox so cannot affect your system.

 

[Tom]

I use linux.

i use OSX

 

[Mike_182]

How did I know I'd walk into a thread with this title to KDF declaring that Linux is the best AV and Tom (although I expected Dannel to beat him) with a similar response for OSX.

 

[Tom]

Cos its the truth guv'nor!

 

[KDF]

Amen to that my brother !

 

[H182]

another vote for NOD32

NOD32 is probably the best on the market, but if you're getting the full suite, including the firewall then I wouldn't bother. The firewall isn't very good.

If you need firewall and AV then get the Comodo suite. One of the best in the market and free!

Also, LOL @ Tom thinking viruses don't exist on Macs

 

[JamesFrance]

Good to see other Comodo users around. I am one of their long term beta testers and the new version is heading for being the best Windows anti-malware app. ever and of course free to everyone. Why pay for something which cannot protect you? Just reviewed by Matt from Removemalware.com, but you would need some time to watch it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fo69WyrzCkw
