Which Anti-virus/Security package is best (1 Viewer)

[Korn]

I was wondering if there are any that dont need to be brought every year

 

[Korn]

i dont really trust ones that come off the net

 

[sladehk]

I use it, I think MedNez and a lot of other people use it too. YOu should be able to trust it if you downloaded it from the main site ()www.grisoft.com

AVG is a very good anti-virus software.

Zonealarm, (a couple of companies re-badge this illoegally and sell it), is a very good firewall.

Ad-Aware and Spybot S&D are both very good spyware/malware scanners.

Zonealarm Security Suite..... the best all in one security program.

Spy/Add-ware remover: Lavasoft Ad-Aware
Firewall: Sygate Personal Firewall [free or Pro version....either is better than the rest]
Anti-Virus: AVG

 

[fatmuscle]

there's heaps of those big name guys out there that will do the job.
it does come down to preference.

Norton Symantec
McAfee
Trend Micro

and i think Microsoft is coming out with their own almighty security suite package soon

Firewall: Sygate Personal Firewall [free or Pro version....either is better than the rest]

I've got that 1.. used to have Kerio Personal firewall. It claimed to be free but when i dl it, i got a trial version for 30 days.
Antivirus: AVG
Spy/Add ware remover: SpybotSD
And i've got HijackThis but i have no idea how to use it properly

 

[redruM]

with hijackthis, you scan and post the log here. and some people will have a look at it for you.

 

[copious]

Serio
Agnitum Outpost

AntiVir is on the same level as AVG and is also free. The best things in life are free.

Ad-aware, is far from good as far as i know and have been told, it can fuck ur computer up massively

It happens when people choose to delete things that come with an uninstaller. Classic example was Kaaza.

I use PC Cillin Internet Security...its pretty good

its not too bad...esp the latest one...the pop up blocker is a lil annoying but once its set right its good...it also tells u wen ur antivirus is out of date, switched off etc
