Morning

I'm looking to renew my Antivirus etc and am looking for some advice.

My computers are behind a router with a hardware firewall.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I have 2 PC's so free applications would be a bonus, but decent protection is my main requirement

Cheers!

Neil.

 

AVG

Have the same set up as you. I find <<AVAST>> to be better than AVG.

 

Kaspersky is the best out at the moment

 

On the recommendations of some people on here, and a couple of mates who run a server from home for business use, I'm on NOD32.

None of that AVG slowing the computer down whilst it runs nonsense. I actually was on AVG before, removed it, and now have this. Superb.

 

NOD32 is on a par with Kaspersky, was the best about 6 months ago but now Kaspersky has taken the lead.

In another 6 months someone else will probably be top, it all moves very fast in security.

 

just no one recomend norton

 

I'd recommend Avast. Its free, autoupdates, easy to configure and turn off the notification options and just let it get on with it. Is not a resource hog either that I've noticed.

Better and less intensive than AVG. NOD32 is good, but its not free either.

 

avg free

get all your spy wear,antivirus & cleaner etc from here mate for free

do the antivirus developers not write the viruses as well?

the developers of anti virus software must be the most able to write viruses in the first place.

lets say vendor X writes a new virus and just before they try and infect the world with it, they provide a patch for thier own product to immunise those computers using their software. would be good for business if it was seen that only product X computers survived

 

Cool - some food for thoguht there

I was previously using Kaspersky - you used to get a free month's trial then just uninstall/re-install and get another month's trial

Looks like they've put a stop to it now. I was considering buying it legitamately?

Cheers!

The new NOD32 is very good and makes for a sweet running PC as RichardPON says.

I've got the older version on my PC and just trying out the newer 'smart security' version on my laptop.. seems nice so far.

 

the AVG pro edition was free

until 17.jan.. but try it

 

just swapped from avg to avast,avg was a pain,cudnt do anything while it was running

 

used avast for 3 years.. using avg on my laptop now.. happy with it

 

most of the info on any security can be found on the link below, just remember the best security is yourselves

Nod 32 not free???

Mine certainly is

 

nod32 is awesome, updates in realtime, caught a trojan the other day having only updated a minute before.

mine was free

 

Kaspersky Internet Security is the best imo So good infact I actually bought a years subscription as I was fed up of the keys I was using getting blacklisted

 

get it to run in the middle of the night then

no worries for me other than the email option things that's a bit of a pian in the arse

but i'm a tight wad so if it works and it's free then that's not an issue

 

I use AVG, with the daily scan disabled - just run it when I want.

 

yes nod 32 is good but combined that with kaspersky and a linux firewall you have it all.

but NOD 32 is not free
