Best Anti Virus Software

S

Which is the best Anti Virus Software......Mcafee, Norton or some other. Also how much do they cost.

P

The best, cheapest antivirus is AVG. It is free!

I

Go 4 Avast 4.6 Home . Free and No problems. Also, install a spyware protecions sot. other than ms.

R

AVG was completely wrecked by some new w32 virus on my machine !!!

It was the W32.Pinfi Virus !

So.........................

I'm a NORTON fan and even though it slows the comp speed a bit ................If u wanna be safe-Use Norton or at least a McAffee

S

Rs

How much for norton and mcafee. Does it make a difference or is it as good as the pirated version after installing the crack.

U

Err ... if you are going for a commercial antivirus solution, go for Kaspersky or NOD32. They offer the best protection.

If you are going for a free AV, try AVG, Avast or Antivir PE.

Norton & McAfee are resource hoggers which offer average security, but nothing else.

I personally feel AVG is the best .Effective and it is nbot much of a resource hogger.

Heres the list.

1st --> Norton Antivirus 2005
2nd --> McAfee VirusScan 9.0 Professional
3rd --> Panda Titanium 2005 with TruPrevent

S

Norton Antivirus
Avast Home Edition
AVG

McAfee is much cheaper. Check out their web sites for price. Norton even provides security from spywares and bettr real-time protection. You can download a 15 day trial of both of them to check them out. I'm not sure if trial of Mcafee, though.................

If it is for home use, you can try out Avast Home Edition which is free. It is a great AV with real time protection. To add to the security, you can install Kerio Personel Firewall, which is free again. They are both top rated apps. Amicrosoft AntiSpyware will add to your security...........................

Does it offer better protection than NAV 2005 ?
If it does, where can I download it from ?
More details r welcome !

B

Well F-Prot is great too and IMHO takes the least system resources of any of the AV's i've tried..

V

I think NORTON 05 is the BEST AV EVER. :lol:

If someone is unable to afford it, i suggest that go for CRACKED one i.e. Pirated.

I'm not basically in FOR for piracy but it is the only way to reduce expences on Software.
:twisted:

kav

i am fan of kav

download it and try for 30 day u will come to know which av is best in world. nothing is as good as compared to kav :wink:

U

@rajkumar -

www.kaspersky.com
www.nod32.com

Each have trial versions available.

T

i have installed nod32 on my pc.
its very nice & eats very less resources as compared to norton or avg
update patches are also around 2 or 3 mb
you must try this at least once...

D

Yeah exactly amongst the few that I've used so far NOD32 suits my needs very well.Apart from a decent[thats what the reviews say I heard] detection rate,resource management is what has pulled it apart from the rest for me.But thats just my personal take.But definately a try if you still are searching for a AV.

K

hey digen i use avast home ed.if i load say nod or kav,will it not clash or hog resources..

See, best AntiVirus according to Virus database is Kaspersky....but it's resource hungry...

And, you should never install two AntiViruses, this will cause some confilcts and may lead to a system crash.

NOD32 is the lightest AV i have ever used, and it's pretty good in detection too. Has some good Heuristic Capabilty.

But in terms of pure detecton rates Kaspersky and F-Secure rules!

Well krisjr,swat has summed it up.Installing 2 anti-virus software is a serious no no.Whats the point in the first place? Choose one according to your needs,update & stick to it.The same is the case with firewalls.

Hey guys I need help in using the Avast ! Antivirus Home Edition given in the DIGIT JAN,FEB and Mar-2005 CDs.

Well i can install the software but after the antivirus has been installed and i try to use it then i get a message to Give a VALID regisration code/number of that sort.

Well do we need to have an internet connection to go to the Avast Antivirus site. and register ourselves for this software to run normally?? coz i dont hv an internet connectiona t my home.I surf the internet thru the CYBER CAFE.

Also i cannot use the Latest patch for Avast! antivirus provided along with the CD.

registration is free for home edition home users ....
they will send to a serial-key to ur email id
copy the serial key on a piece of paper as it is (along with the - and space)
or take it in a floppy
cpoy paste/write the serial key on the avast antivirus where it asks u the serial key ....

East or West McAfee and NAV 05 are the best (Even though they are a bit expensive, and take a lot of resources !!!).

Antivirus Piracy??
Why use pirated AV when good ones come for free. Try Avast Home Edition which has good enough protection. It has easy-quick updates and great real-time protection.......................

Kasperesky Anti-Virus Personal is the best of all other anti-viruses. Its gives best protection.

My sify broadband comes free with Mcafee VirusScan ASaP.......thinking its best ......

U

Nopes it is not even a complete AV ... from what I have heard, it is based off mcafee stinger, which is a free product which is not meant to be an antivirus, but rather a on demand virus scanner which can compliment a full fledged anti virus.

It would probably be better to call sify up and get that anti virus disabled, then you can use a good free AV like AVG, Avast or Antivir PE.

K

Nod32 Rocks.................... It takes Very little system resources and provides very quick updates and very good real-time protection too. It is damn good.
