Title: Re: any recomendations for antivirus for my laptop Post by: monkeyboy888 on October 18, 2008, 12:49:13 PM I had Norton for a while and the protection was good, but it used up a whole load of system resources, and made my computer take an age to boot up. Now I use Kaspersky, and its great. You barely know its running unless it finds a problem, and dealing with problems is a simple case of clicking yes when it asks you if you want to get rid of it.

Title: Re: any recomendations for antivirus for my laptop Post by: Bongo on October 19, 2008, 03:58:44 PM I'd avoid Norton at all costs. I use NOD32 myself, Kapersky is also meant to be very good - don't know why you'd buy a 3rd party version of it though (or why they'd offer one).

I gave up using it wayback after aforementioned resource-hogging. I use AVG and the usual antispyware kits, seem to have been clean for a year now. Is AVG generally seen as weak? Title: Re: any recomendations for antivirus for my laptop Post by: WYSINWYG on October 19, 2008, 04:29:46 PM lol yeah. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=n7GYgxtK5jY Don't know if Ginger's accreditation involves thongs. Title: Re: any recomendations for antivirus for my laptop Post by: KarmaDope on October 19, 2008, 04:47:25 PM lol yeah. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=n7GYgxtK5jY Don't know if Ginger's accreditation involves thongs. Surely Kev's the man to ask? *back on topic* I use AVG as well, after it was highly recommended about 18 months ago. Has it dropped performance?

Title: Re: any recomendations for antivirus for my laptop Post by: WYSINWYG on October 19, 2008, 05:04:23 PM NOD32 (with extensions) rocks. lol. 50% off at TKMaxx.

Resource hogging, virus missing, problem causing... it's just utterly useless. Wasn't very impressed at their attempts to surreptitiously spam either.

Title: Re: any recomendations for antivirus for my laptop Post by: Bainn on January 05, 2009, 05:48:01 PM Wanted to recommend NOD32 as the best anti virus software with malware protection.

(http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w194/Somerled_01/graham_norton.jpg) I did also have Norton AntiVirus and hated it. I've since used AVG and had no problems at all. Can't understand why anyone would pay for AntiVirus. Title: Re: any recomendations for antivirus for my laptop Post by: Horneris on January 05, 2009, 11:39:06 PM I think Spyware Doctor is the best.
I had a serious problem and AVG wouldnt do the job. Title: Re: any recomendations for antivirus for my laptop Post by: Bongo on January 06, 2009, 12:29:21 AM Can't understand why anyone would pay for AntiVirus. And I can't understand why they wouldn't ;) Title: Re: any recomendations for antivirus for my laptop Post by: seven2unsuited on January 06, 2009, 12:39:48 AM avast is good, i runs quickly, its free. i've used it for over a year and never had any problems, also use spybot search and destroy for spyware which is free.
Title: Re: any recomendations for antivirus for my laptop Post by: Ginger on January 06, 2009, 12:42:12 AM I think Spyware Doctor is the best. I had a serious problem and AVG wouldnt do the job. Perhaps that is because AVG is for Antivirus protection, and Spyware Doctor is for... spyware? Not really the same thing, and Spyware Doctor won't do the job of an antivirus program (unless it's seriously changed since the last time I looked) If you haven't got an AV program running - get one! Title: Re: any recomendations for antivirus for my laptop Post by: kinboshi on January 06, 2009, 10:34:57 AM avast is good, i runs quickly, its free. i've used it for over a year and never had any problems, also use spybot search and destroy for spyware which is free. I've heard it's the best of the free ones. Better than AVG apparently (although I've never had a problem with that in the past). I use NOD32 now. Title: Re: any recomendations for antivirus for my laptop Post by: roverthtaeh on January 06, 2009, 10:44:53 AM I had problems which Norton didn't seem capable of fixing, so I found and downloaded this for free and it sorted everything out in half an hour. No problems since.
