Topic: The Best AntiVirus ?!

[wanivishal]

Hi SCF Visitors,

what do You think which Anti-Virus is The Best one and why?

Personally I use  McAfee Enterprise 8.5 about two years and till now it work perfect. This version have excellent protection and low using of PC resources.

Also believe me I love to surf everywhere (mostly risky sites). 

Come on people tell us Yours opinions and don't forget to Vote in Poll (above)!?

Hi I am also using the same version but I am facing the problem of auto update, showing message at the time of auto update that "Failed to initialize Common Updater System. Make sure the McAfee Framework Service is running. McAfee Common Framework returned error 80080005@2". Can you help me please?

Hi wanivishal,

of course that We'll help you... but since this Topic is for discussion about "The Best Antivirus", you'll need to open NEW (your own) Topic in SCF's "PC Help Center": http://scforum.info/index.php/board,16.0.html with all information related to mentioned problem with your McAfee AV.

McAfee is the best anti-virus. I like very much. It is very safe and protecting anti-virus, that secure the system and make fast it. It has great features which give better result.

haha, thats hard to choose. i like AVG and Avast. another one is the antivírus from the brasil. you maybe not hear of it before

[stefan926]

I think that the best antivirus software must offer their service to make the antivirus more simple and convenient and make us save a lot of time

I use McAfee for more than 7 years. Still the best for me as long as I always update dat files.

I like AVG , using it for 8 years

Ok a Quick update and Im about to go back on my Decision to use McAfee,

Ok main point is that that Windows 7 Wont work with V8.5 ok so you upgrade to V8.7 no problem next problem McAfee Firewall wont work with Win 7 as that has been replaced by McAfee HIPS ok that's fine too, what's not fine is that there is no WebUpdate method for HIPS as it is desgined for Group Policy - NOT COOL!

This was one of the reasons I have moved away from McAfee now and I wont bore you with the other reasons.

My new HOT Product of the Year has to be ESET Smart Security, A verly unknown but Very powerfull AV Suite Inc Firewall and Anti-Malware Protection for your E-mail's and it also has the cool looking Robots on it's splash screen from the Film I-Robot and no this was not the reason for choosing it!

Not only does the Software have a TINY and I mean TINY memory footprint you can disable ALL windows Defender and Firewall services e.t.c essentually reducing the System load by removing 3 odd services running for the Price of 1! now that's COOL!

I wished other AV Vendors took a leaf out of the this Manufactures Coders book as we have all become too accustomed to accepting the fact the AV prodcucts need to have a fairly substantial footprint to be effective - NOT TRUE

All I can say is give it a go, it's cheap as chips for a years membership and if you want customisable setups you can actually get the AV seperately if you have your own Firewall and Malware Solutions. - http://www.eset.co.uk/ it even has a MAC solution for the die hards.

All The Best..

If I ever change McAfee...  ... next choice will be ESET (NOD32).

By the way, my old Friend "amko_sa": http://scforum.info/index.php?action=profile;u=3 is also a really big fan of NOD32. Every time when We speak about AV solutions, He say that NOD32 is current No1. in AV World.

However, I must to admit that I have installed "ESET Online Scanner": http://www.eset.com/home/products/online-scanner/ (of course it doesn't have Real-Time protection) and time to time I scan whole PC, just to be sure that everything is Ok (double check because of my electronic payments - credit cards).

I've been using Bitdefender for 2 years and is fantastic, my PC has never been infected with virus and it is quite light, so a basic computer can run smoothly. I've seen that on many pages recommend it, as on this website, where is ranked #1  :
