Your favorite anti-virus program?

[shadowstriker86]

Today was not a fun day. First avg failed to update, then for some reason i couldnt log into wow or battle net for dota, then i couldnt get into alot of my favorite web pages, so i knew i was somewhat screwed, well long story short i downloaded bitdefender and it works pretty well and killed the trojan that was causing the whole mess, at least i hope that was the one that was otherwise i got some huntin to do. Whats your favorite anti-virus program?

AntiVir for me, it has a small footprint, doesn't both me alot, and it seems to do a good job.

Hah...AVG is mine. I've had no problems with it whatsoever. Nothing. Zilch. Piss all.

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

I've only ever used Norton.

 

[Assassin Xaero]

Avast! Used to use AVG until they updated it to a newer version and it took like 5 hours to scan my computer when it used to only take 2... I have a lot of stuff... >_>
Also run Malwarebytes every so often...

I always thought AVG was pretty cool, and I've heard good things about NOD32. also Kaspersky, anyone ever used that?

My laptop came with a free month-long trial of Norton, and after a month went by I didn't have a verification vode. So essentially, I don't have Norton. But it still resets my laptop every now and again for updates and constantly sends reminders my way to tell me that I need a verification code to renew the program.

It's ridiculously irritating. It comes across like a child desperately trying to make you pay attention to him, and when you do he turns away.

Switch. Now. It's probably the worst anti-virus software on the market and your PC is probably crawling with viruses.

I use AVG personally but I've got a couple other ones on here too, like Lavasoft and sysclean.

 

[Arkhangelsk]

NOD32 for me. Works pretty well.

AVG Internet Security. It is so easy to use, not that expensive and has excellent 64 bit support.

 

[RedPandaMan]

Avast! ye maties....(sorry couldn't resist).

But yes, I prefer Avast! I have used Norton and AVG, I just prefer the interface of Avast! That, and it seems more secure to me.

firefox + adblock plus + no script

common sense 1993

and just as a backup, Webroot Spysweeper with antivirus.

 

[Aur0ra145]

I don't.

 

[pompom8volt]

AVG but hopefully I'll be getting Norton soon

 

[Emphraim]

AVG for now, but I'm planning to get NOD32.

Spoiler: XKCD comic

No need for anti-virus programs thanks.

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

Avast.

 

[Christemo]

Avira.

 

[Chrissyluky]

avg is really bad for me. i love the shield deluxe 09 i havent had a virus in years since i got that.

 

[Christemo]

I Don't run any form of anti virus at all, just a well configured firewall.

I've had this exact install of vista for a year and a half now and it runs as well as the day I first installed it, thanks to common sense and routine maintenance.

Don't. Norton is easily one of the worst pieces of software I've ever seen.

agreed. when i started out on my laptop, i couldnt play anything multiplayer or any flash game because it was constantly warning me, then shutting the shit down.

Norton = Shit.
