it still isnt the best

I use it as 2nd option if I cant get kaspersky.

Though on most of PC I use nod32 Smart security with Seagate Personal Firewal pro.

I know nod smart security has its firewall but its just nothing.

Re: virus scanner

sooooooo i'm sensing that people are leaning towards kaspersky.

i've installed the trial version. haven't ahd the cahnce to check it out though. just that i don't like how it installed these addons to my FF and i can't seem to figure out how to disable them.

Re: virus scanner

Lafanter…you don’t have ANY AV software on your PC?!

Maybe this AV software thing is a ploy/scare tactic then… for us to part with our “money”

Maybe there is no such thing as a virus…

Maybe it’s all lies!

Haha! CP, I put the word “money” in inverted commas for a reason… :halo:

Lafanter, i use SpyBot also, but in addition to other software…i just can’t believe you have no AV software at all… i’m shellshocked

Re: virus scanner

I don't have any either.

I don't get viruses or spyware. But then I don't let anyone near my computer and don't do silly things with it.

I shocked a fellow PhD student with this last week. He thinks of himself as a tech head and decided he needed to list all the reasons I really should use something and it was just 'a matter of time'. I just stood there nodding and thinking 'I learnt how to build a pc before you probably even had one mate'.
