Best AntiVirus?

[Mate88]

Hey Mates,

Im also curious on what AntiVirus you guys use and which one is your favorite one. Is it the usual like Norton or Mcafee or is it some unusual that works great? I have used many: Norton, Mcafee, Pc-Cillin, Nod32, F-Secure, Panda, etc, many. I want to know your opinion and please your comments. Thanks a lot.

My Choice?
I voted for Norton since its my favorite and I have used it many years without flaws or viruses. I just like Symantec, very secure and reliable, and excellent AntiVirus too. Although it is heavy and takes a lot or rams to run its worth the effort IMO.

Regards

I agree totally with you

A few year back I was running McAfee on my work PC. After I upgraded to more RAM (512mb) I noticed that the system was acting sluggishly -- exactly the opposite of what I expected to happen! The mouse would hesitate as I moved across the screen, the network was slow, and it took forever to open any programs.

After trying new memory, I realized what it was -- the antivirus program. As soon as I turned McAfee off, the system was lightning again.

I switched to Norton AntiVirus that day, and I haven't looked back. Well worth the investment!

Without a doubt, I'd have to say Sophos. Those folks respond to new viri attacks I can't help but wonder if they're writing the virus' to begin with.

I will have to say though that the Sophos client is resource intensive piece of software and can be a real pain to keep running on client machines.

I'm running Norton my home machine though and have been nothing but happy with it. For home usuage it's a nice choice.

I've been using McAfee since my first computer (over seven years ago) and have yet to have any trouble with it. I did try Norton a few years back, and found that it seemed to run less efficiently than McAfee.

But, both McAfee and Norton seem to be the industry standards, and I'd say you can't go wrong with either

I liked AVG because it works. And it's free. Where's the problem in that?

I used MacAfee for a year after I got my Dell, and I was apparently virus free. Then, my trial subscription courtesy of Dell ran out, and I switched to AVG. It immediately found 2 viruses that MacAfee missed. The files also had a created on date of weeks before switching, and I kept my defs up to date. I used Norton a few years back as well, and I liked it as well. But it's not free, so it didn't get my vote.

Currently using PCCillin on one of my systems, and so far it's running pretty well.

I use NAV on my main machine and AVG Pro on my secondary machine. They both seem to work well. I have been using NAV for about five years and I just started using AVG about a month ago and so far all is well.......
