anti-virus

[giantsfan7791]

any good recommendations? price not an issue (torrents).

so far, AVG 8.0 has given me too many problems (already installed it 3 times and got a virus). i don't like norton, i heard mcafee is kinda slow, and i know kasperki (or whatever it's called) will make this shitty 512MB RAM comp lag too much.

so far, i'm leaning to NOD32. any other ideas?

malwarebytes is a good anti malware program, and its free, and the full version is cheap

[giantsfan7791]

i can get any free, so i really do want the best one possible. what's good/bad about that one?

[SVDHelix]

well, pretty much ANY malware you can think of it'll find, it doesnt eat up a whole lot of space, and it works on pretty much any computer

the only downside i can think of is that sometimes it can take up a lot of your cpu usage, but thats only if its constantly ran

Avira it's what I'm using right now

Weird you're having problems with AVG. It's pretty good for me.

Uh you can try ZoneAlarm. I think it costs now but it's meant to be pretty good.

yeah, i've got the same virus twice while upgrading to AVG 8. and i heard that Avira's good but i'm gonna test out NOD32 for a bit. i'm gonnna test a few out actually.

I used to use McAfee. DON'T BUY IT. That f**king program auto-charged me 100 dollars. When your subscription runs out, it rebuys itself. I didn't realize it until after, and it's a hassle to deal with McAfee support. On top of that, it slows your comp down. Most virus's disable it because it's so popular.

I use AVG 8.0 free edition, lavasoft Adaware 2007, Windows Defender, and Spybot Search and Destroy.

I use nothing. I just know what to open/download and what not to.

mccaffe is alright aslong as you get the right version, the one I have includes real-time scanning including torrent/p2p scanning, proxies, weekly scans/updates and alot more

This is what I do. I'll do the occasional scan but I am usually running my computer to the max when I am working on it so I can't afford to use any more resources on anything else.

AVG and Ad Aware is all you need.
