recommend me pc protection tools

[r_dizzel*]

i used to have McAfee SecurityCenter

want a similar software that has all the same functions?

 

[UncleGrumpy]

Don't know what that does but everyone will tell you what they use is best

Personally I use

Zonealarm Pro - because Windows Defender is shite
AVG free - because I'm tight and Norton is shite
Spybot search & Destroy - because I liked the name

I've never had any problems with viri or mal/spyware.

MS Security essentials is a great bit of kit as well. Rate it higher than AVG and other free software I have tried. Don't notice it running either until it detects something, then it only pops up to say the threat has been dealt with.

 

[Adam]

Kaspersky Internet Security.

For free, I don't think there is a better alternative.

 

[The Ironist]

kaspersky

 

[Gally]

Couldn't look past avast for a free one.

 

[Magic Johnson]

Lol @ software firewall.

AVG free - because I'm tight and Norton is s**te.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
AVG is absolute rubbish, it misses so many viruses. The amount of laptops I've had to fix because people relied on that crap!

Avast for an antivirus, Comodo Internet Security for a firewall and general defense

Both are free

 

[Martin!]

Another for Avast! here. AVG is possibly the second worst anti-virus i've ever used, beaten to the worst by Norton!

 

[Magic Johnson]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

Pmsl, do you work for PC World by any chance? :rasp:

 

[Rhino172]

I've always used AVG on all my machines and not once have i had a problem.

Only time I've had issues is when I've used Norton! lol

 

[Magic Johnson]

Let's be clear, AVG is AV, not firewall.

If you've got a proper firewall in place then you won't need amazing AV. Also, it doesn't stop viruses, it just detects them and attempts to get rid. If it's serious, chances are you'll have to manually delete it so it's good for notifying you, not much more.

Hell no! Do you think someone that works for PC World would recommend free software?

AVG doesn't detect half the viruses that are about

 

[Reaver85]

i use eset smart security and spybot search and destroy and never had any viruses or problems.but i did use to be an avid norton user so....

 

[Snakey]

Used to have problems with Norton and others. Started using AVG (free version) a few years ago and not had a problem since

There probably are better one's out there but I found I was comfortable using AVG

 

[BRUN]

AVG is crap, even the ones it can detect it cant actually do anything with

use MS Security Essentials, you wont even know its running

Ive used it for 5 years on 7 different computers/laptops and have never had a problem.

But then it probably depends on what level you use your computer

 

[KDF]

For free, I don't think there is a better alternative.

I beg to differ, I think you will find the best free AV is Linux, and it even upgrades your OS to a proper one too.

 

[Noj]

Avira and iorbit advanced system care

 

[ekaJ]

I havnt used any protection for years

 

[Magic Johnson]

You riddled so and so.

 

[riz]

Avast and Comodo
