Best Anti Virus Software
 
What do you guys use on your computer? My Norton subscription is expiring and I want to try something different

AVG

Loneshark 04-20-2010 04:11 PM

Are you running the paid version or the free version of AVG?

bay_slayer 04-20-2010 04:25 PM

I used the free version for a long time with my old computer and I just bought a new laptop about a month and a half ago so I went ahead and bought the full version of AVG since I had no problems on my old laptop

I have the free version of AVG, we all have this version on our laptops at work and never have issues.

lets you run a virus scan before windows starts.... there are some viruses that hide in windows and can not be found with a regular scan

you know why mac's dont get many viruses... it because most people use PCs so there is more people proficient at writing viruses on the widows platform...also more scripts and tools that are used in creating viruses are made for windows. But a Mac can get a virus

my parents have a mac desktop that is like 6 years old,never had a problem with it EVER. i have a macbook that is almost three years old. needs a new battery, that is it. yes they are able to get viruses but highly unlikely

I personally have nothing against the free version of AVG, but I've worked on numerous computers that were running AVG free that was severely infected. I don't get too many computers that are infected running a updated working copy of say Norton or Trend Micro. I personally use Norton Internet Security on all my computers, and I never have a problem.

Just give it up man. PC users don't want to hear how great macs are. They refuse to believe it and want no part of it cuz the fear of change. If they ever swap over then they'll never look back but until then I'm not saying nothing cuz its like talking to a wall.:work:

Loneshark 04-20-2010 07:00 PM

I'm going to give Avast a shot. I just downloaded it and will let y'all know how it does.

LaBow 04-20-2010 07:00 PM

Kaspersky

davethefish1 04-20-2010 10:29 PM

i won't switch because when you transfer files to another pc (day to night shift) macs screw them all up don't work real good for what i do

BayouFX4 04-21-2010 09:38 AM

Trend Micro is the best out there. I never cared for Norton or MaCafee because they slowed my computer down so much. Trend Micro doesn't slow my laptop down at all.

www.superantispyware.com I used it on an infected pc yesterday and it worked great, only 19.95 for the pro version that has real time protection, one time fee.
