    Exclamation Anti-Virus????

    Hey Guys, I was wondering which anti-virus software do you use?
    Right now I have installed in my PC AVG 7.5 Internet Security but I’m not sure if it is the best.

    What are you using?

    I also use AVG, but its not that good. Once i got a trojan and it blocked the viruses it opening but could not find the trojan it self. But if you are careful with opening unknown stuff your pretty safe.

    I currently use Avira Anti, quite wikked actully, its only like free for several months then you have to buy if you "want" too any ways yeah, i use this as its more flexible as i can save virus's onto floppys so i remember what they are like hate norton! doesn't even protect against old virus's..

    Norton and Aladins or something like that are cpu consuming programs. Had allot of problem with them making the coolers rev very high and noisy. While AGV don't use cpu and ram that much.

    Hi !

    Avast is a great anti-virus software !

    If you don't know, try it... it's a really effective freeware !

    I'm using NOD32 2.5 both at work and home. Haven't had a reason to complain yet

    Norton is OK, but it has troubles detecting/finding trojan viruses, whilst NOD32 doesn't. And I like the interface.

    I use Avast now for few weeks and it work great very low cpu uses and detects and delete virus very fast. And when you go on a site with virus or trojan it stop connection with that page.
