Which is the best anti-virus program to use – if you want to buy it?

[jill8beans2]

· Cyberdefender – Great scanner that removes Trojans, spyware, but need upgrade to remove viruses, comes with 24/7 computer help. NASDAQ Company.

· Norton 360 – Expensive, my experience with Norton was not so good, and it was slow. NASDAQ Company

· Prevx – Good free scanner, cartoon look, only scans – need to buy to remove anything.

· PC Tools – nice interface, private company so who knows how stable they are, but software is fully functional for free.

· SuperAntiVirus – Corny name, but has 12 million users, but I found it a little slow.

· AVG – popular for the free version but it only works 30 Days before you must buy, but we found it slow, and the paid version offers nothing additional.

All of these offer a $29 paid version (except AVG - $34 is cheapest paid version). We are leaning to Cyberdefender, but we would like some feedback on this.

Which is the best free version?

Which offers the best protection/speed balance?

Go to AVG.com and download the best anti for free.. Now you can pay me $250.00 for the advice via paypal

Best pay one is this. Free Virus Scan - Kaspersky Lab

That's a link to their free virus scanner but I would go for that.

AVG has a free version for a year and works fine.

I have tried most of them and found Webroot Anti-Virus the best:

Webroot | Webroot AntiVirus with AntiSpyware

AVG free for basic protection.

Once you get infected google search for solutions.

Use programs like "sandboxie" for program isolation (provided you are using a 32-bit OS) - this is really one of the best things you could do.

Warez, pirated programs are really the bane of the viral infections. I have to deal with them all the fucken time.

Do not pay for antivirus is my opinion. Most of even the paid ones will not solve a lot of virus problems.

Best anti-virus product out there is Mac OS X 10.5.5

gotta be for that though.

gotta be for that though.

Either that or a serious Unix user. MS-DOS is great, I just don't like having to put a quarter into the slot each time so the game will play.
