I am just interested in seeing what most people use!!! Do you use an antivirus package in the first place??Do you use a separate firewall?? Which antivirus package do you recommend??Why??
i using nod32 which had a build in firewall. I recommend kaspersky or nod32 more accurate scanning (less sensitive) and wont eat up too much memory
I use McAfee Security Suite because Norton sucks *cough* Idk why I started using it, I guess because my dad had always used it and it's pretty good. It has it's own firewall aside the standard one that comes with windows.
I use kaspersky which is good...I had no problem till date!!! I was shocked to see my hard disk space go down gradually!!!kaspersky's backup files and reports occupied about 3 gb's... Today was system cleaning day!!!
Ack, I use Norton, and it has been serving me well! D: Care to elaborate on why you think Norton stinks? .-.
I use to use the free AVG, but now they are making you pay for it and really its not that good. I prefer McAfee over Norton, it seems to be a little more manageable to use and a lot less touchie.
I'm using Norton Internet Security 2010.. Never had a problem with it.. I used to use Avast AntiVirus which is a free one.. Which is also very good.
I used to use bitdefender. but since it ran out, i dont use any, and my computer hasnt been infected :arf: what a good user I am. But, I just installed "ThreatFire" yesterday
I did use norton before but the main problem was i couldnt remove it completely from my system!! Files were not completely removed...lots of residue!!! AVG free edition is there...They only ask us to pay for professional version!!!
^ Why did you want to remove it in the first place? lol D: Been using Norton for years now... has been working very well (;
Firstly,I like to try a range of software before settling down with which I had less/no problems... Secondly Norton was not performing up to the mark for me(Found better antivirus which was less heavy on system resources).. Used a separate uninstaller to remove registry keys and files that were left behind!!
I run Linux ^_^ best.antivirus.ever :rhett: actually, I've also got AVAST! for Ubuntu Linux as well. Just in case
They aren't making you pay for AVG at all. The link to the free version of 9.0 is just a lot smaller than everything else. You just have to look properly =P And yes, I use AVG. Have never had any problems. I also run Adaware and Spybot Search & Destroy a couple of times a week.
Recently caught a browser virus kasperky and spyware doctor couldn't remove. I couldn't even check my gmail. I was about to format my comp until I ran into Makwarebytes. It removed everything.
Hmm..What version of kaspersky you used??Was it updated(virus definitions)?? Virus you had didnt allow browsing through firefox..It only allows internet explorer..with wordings like muhahaha...Am i right???
2010 Internet security yeah its up to date. Once the key gets blocked I just go get another one. I got when I turned off the scanner in order to burn a game. But I forgot to turn it back on . But I finally got rid of with Makwarebytes. Kasperky and spyware doctor could get rid of it.
