Sam 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2007 Avast! Home edition! So far so good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
douglas 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2007 Avast is good enough for beginners, easy to use. Zone Alarm is extremely good but only recommended for expert user else you'll practically burn down your computer for the trouble they cause u. Norton Antivirus 2005 works well for me, not to mention formatting the PC once a month does help a lot Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freevobabe 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2007 Symantec Antivirus is the best so far, i think. its for corporate use, so it shud b very effective against antivirus Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G_D 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2007 (edited) Actually, all antivirus programs are pretty good. Some may be better than others of course but only a bit better. However, it pays to take note that even the best antivirus can't protect you from everything.Most important is to have a certain "Internet Sense", kinda like Spiderman's Spidey Sense where you know that certain websites or certain attachments may contain viruses, so should avoid like the plague, etc.Also, try updating Windows too. Many viruses take advantage of vulnerabilities in Windows. If for some reason you cannot update windows (slow connection, pir8ted copy, etc), you can go to http://www.autopatcher.com to download their windows patching utility. Be warned, the size can be quite big (at least couple hundred meg). Edited January 24, 2007 by G_D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RevolutioGuy 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2007 Rule of thumb is to install only one antivirus software to scan your PC. I am using McAfee and it is doing a good job for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CyBeR 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2007 I like avast & Norton. Not happy with Corporate edition, though. Didn't seem to be bulletproof enough to repel far too many viruses in the company. :\ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

douglas 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2007 Zone alarm can scan a lots of stuff ..... one does it all but to setup the stupid software to make u bulletproof as well as ease to use is gonna kill u for good. McAfee is the second best antivirus i encounter after zone alarm but i hate the stupid firewall blocks everything especially network stuff.Norton is extremely user friendly and can download the virus definition update manually. The down side is norton is useless against spyware unless u r using the internet security which is headache for browsing also.Avast and AVG, i heard is good n is free but auto scan will slow ur pc a lot. I never really use it so can't comment much about it.MAC user ..... be happy is so protected even antivirus company give up on the market My experience, i always disable windows firewall and updates. microsoft always give out free downloads for new upgrades so they can test it on the market to get feedback of any problems. I can still remember the time Microsoft launch service pack 2 updates, the next day I hav dozens of customer walk into the shop suffering from crashing windows. since then, i never trust any windows updates anymore. Backing up data on another partition or external harddisk is a good way to survive virus attack. Nowadays a lot of virus will crash windows system making it unable to boot up even in safe mode. I still found the best way is to format once in a while, complete cleaning a lot of trouble but with new nero7 u can create ur own recovery disc. simple and easy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
