Re: virus scanner

Kapersky :k:

Re: virus scanner

^^ thats a good one .. i tried that and "vipre" and ended up buying vipre.. lighter and faster (at least in my opinion)

Re: virus scanner

avast kaisa hai:aq:

Re: virus scanner

I'm using Avira. But I've heard good things about Kapersky.

Re: virus scanner

Wow, not a single person know about the new M$ Security Essentials???
The one that does both anti spyware and anti virus???

Ok, wasn’t trying to act all uppity. Here’s the link:

Re: virus scanner

then why doesn’t that come with my win7 and instead came with norton :mad:

does it work as well as other 3rd party ones? or does it come with holes like Microsoft stuff does anyways?

Re: virus scanner

Definately Kaspersky Internet Security 2010.

Although I've used Eset Smart Security 4 and It's pretty decent too.

Re: virus scanner

teggy, you got a hookup for either of thsoe two :@:

Re: virus scanner

Fo shizzle! You know I do'z :D

But, I have it on good authority that with a combination of some freeware tools you can pretty much blast any virus/trojan/root kit, etc. providing that your system hasn't been screwed beyong repair already, rendering OS Restore the only option.

Check your PM.

PS: No, I'm not giving her Product keys people. Just some good advice :p

Re: virus scanner

just get NOD (Eset)

Re: virus scanner

teggz: i've already got adaware installed. i think i might go with spybot too, but the last couple of years it hasn't been detecting anything so i'm thinking about it right now. unfortunately i still need a virus scanner and i don't know what to go with. meh =/

sheeda paa wohi na...nod or kaspersky? ...i guess the trend hasn't changed yet

Re: virus scanner

Try 'em both out. They give you a 1 month trial. That should help you decide which one you like better, and then you can purchase the full license for whichever serves you better.

PS: Try 'em one after the other. Having them both at once would defeat the purpose and often cause conflicts.

Re: virus scanner

lol thanks for the ps, but i thought of that too :hehe:

Re: virus scanner

:hehe: Just making sure. :smiley:

Re: virus scanner

:emmy:

scratching head yeah eh … i guess its not your first time

Re: virus scanner

comodo

I used to use Trendmicro, but I recently switched to Bitdefender. Bitdefender is more successful at detecting viruses, but I've also found that it also hinders the performance of my computer more than Trendmicro.

nod32 for me
