I've just bought a new computer and would like to know what you guys recommend as the best Anti-Virus programme, and where i could possibly get it too. Thanks in advance.
NOD32 from Eset. It’s relatively inexpensive and has a 100% effective rating from the Virus Bulletin.
well, if you are a hard core tech, and you know how to take care of your machine, then an anti-virus isn't necessary. But i'd go with Norton or McAfee. They are good programs but they do slow down your computer, but if you have a lot of ram then there's no problem. I would also get Microsoft Antispyware program. It's great and one of the best you can get.
i have AVG and had no problems with it so far anyway (crossing fingers!). i did have McAFee but i had alot of problems with it.
Nerdflash! Norton = Waste of resources, updates by itself - slowing you down. McAfee = Bulky, waste of resources. AVG = Best virus scanner I've used so far. Not only is it fairly indie it's also fairly well known, the best of both worlds. Grisoft.COM - The Home Of AVG Also download AD-Aware and Spybot Search & Destroy. Yes, both. One scans where the other doesn't - and vice versa. Lavasoft.COM - The Home Of AdAware Safer-Networking.ORG - The NEW Home of Spybot Search And Destroy
ROFL. Even the "hard core techs" have anti-virus progs on their computers. Never hurts to be protected, just in case. AVG / Norton for me.
well, i don't. I don't see the need in one really. For one, they slow your computer down. Another thing is that Norton isn't as good as it used to be. A lot of people have found a way around Norton. But you are right, it's better to get one just to be safe, even if you are good enough on a computer to know where and where not to go.
dashboard exploit. :whistle: [/b][/quote] Mac exploits: 1 Windows exploits: 654165416541651351650473210321156410510197416213100640601 :whistle:
That's just being stupid. And if you're a 'hard core tech' you most likely have the RAM to deal with the whopping like.. 14 megs that AVG uses.
Well, i do have a firewall to sugest , buy zonelabs(yes, i mean BUY) and Ad-Ware or spybot, sharch in destroy sounds good. and anti virus program works,(unless its a old/new bought comp) mabye webroot works good too. i think what they posted is good
I used to like AVG until it missed a huge virus that screwed up my machine. Now I'm a full-on avast!Antivirus fangirl. I've been using it for a while and it's stopped everything.
