Topic: The Best AntiVirus ?!

[Samker]

It's look like here are only McAfee fans?

Voting Poll also show same results, but I know that Kaspersky, Norton & NOD32 are also very popular.

What's reason for this here at SCF?

I like mcafee, safe, and I never had problems, the use by 5 years

I dont like McAfee very much ! we use it at work and it literally KILLS the old PCs and laptops ! poor things seem to suffer with it !
I like Kaspersky most

Yes you got a right, because of that we often turn off Heuristic & PUP Real-Time Protection for older PCs.

But I think that it's same thing with for example KIS 2009 or Norton products??

i'm using mcafee enterprise, the same thing we use at work.  i used to use symantec corp antivirus which was good aswell (not as resource hungry as the old norton ones ).

AVG free didnt seem very good after installing symantec that found a couple of viruses AVG missed.  this was a few years back so things might have changed?

I was also ex-user of Symantec Corp. AV, last version which I use is I think 9 or 10. That version was have problem with detection of Adwares and Spywares... You have a right about PC recourse using, much much better than Norton version 2005-2006 (in these years I was using Symantec Corp.).

In my opinion also Symantec is better than AVG, but also true is that AVG is Best FREE AntiVirus solution right now.

Do you agree??



 

[mashed]

yeah i agree AVG is the best free AV out there at the moment

McAfee The best Antivirus

I like NOD 32 from ESET.  As a gamer and system builder I want the lightest weight AV in terms of CPU utilization ...after years of the competition, it's a noticeable improvement in boot time and visibly less junk running in Task Manager.  Works perfectly and seamlessly.

I know that NOD 32 is very fast, but did they enable option for Automatic Update?

As I remember, some old version (probably FREE) need Manual Start of Updates.
