Whats the best Antivirus program

Recommended Posts

Dude, Norton sucks. As does McAfee and AVG free

 

Fixed =P.

 

NOD32 is perhaps the best anti-virus program I have ever used, I had an infection from a crack file that AVG couldn't even touch downloaded NOD32 4 hours (2 deep scans) later I was 100% clean. (About 40 infections T_T)

I have Norton and have had no problems with it. Maybe they have gotten better lately, or maybe im just lucky.

Let's face it though. If you have a semi-decent firewall and just any average anti-virus you'll be generally fine unless you surf dodgy porn sites all day.

 

In Andrew's link Kaspersky came out top and they do a free online scanner that just works through Internet Explorer:

Having anti virus is great but the front line of protection is hacving Windows 100% up to date daily.

It's amazing how many will spend £30 on Norton but not update Windows XP when they go online.

Agreed. The critical updates are extremely important. It's these holes in the OS security that the virus's are designed to attack!

AVG kicks the ass of every other anti virus hands down.

 

Exactly.

 

Don't even think of paying for anything, infact, don't think of anything else.

 

AVG.

Ok I take it back. Today I updated the virus definitions of Norton Antivirus, and guess what? My wireless connection got screwed. I had to delete Norton and install wireless drivers again. Bye bye Norton.
