I am using Nod32.I tried Macafee and Norton software.But,i uninstall it because of slow system performance.I think macafee and norton software are good one.If you have one GB of ram then it is better to install Macafee or Norton.

Be sure to update or change update settings of your NOD32 AV.

Hello there. I am currently using AVG. I used to use norton and avast. I like avast but it seems to be too 'strong' for my company software. Whenever my company software has a new update, avast will see it as a threat and disallow the update. This is what my company IT people told me. I am an IT idiot so i just believe them and change my anti virus. So far, I am satisfied with AVG. =D

Yes, I agree with you that there is no such thing as 100% virus proof anti-virus system. I have tried using several programs like nod 32, avast, kaspersky, comodo and lately AVG. It's AVG that I liked more because of its simplicity. Updates take place every 24 hours. What matters most for me are the daily updates of virus lists so we may be aware which ones are now threatening the computer world. AVG uses less memory compared to other anti-virus aside from being free downloadable at one time only.

I have to say that nod 32 updates few times a day that it the capacity to know about the new viruses that appear.

I'm using AVG free. It comes highly recommended by different IT teckies I know. It's a bit of a pain when it runs the check because it is so s l o w and slows everything else down too...that's with dial-up anyway...it might be better with a faster connection. It also updates for free every day.

I'd used to use them for years ago , the NORTON Anti-Virus was the most famous that time , than it came McCafe to replace it , Oh I forgot the F-Prot , it was working even in DOS Mode , now adays I use AVG from GRISOFT most of the time , or ANTIVIR from AVAST , and I do forget all about NORTON, McCAFE , KASPERSKY , because they slowen my pc very much.

Last time I use AVG AntiVirus now I change to NORTON 360 ALL-IN-ONE Security. Have more backup system and 2GB of online stroge, impartant is this package not only support via email and also live chat.
If you want this package, you can purchase from here earnathome.hometypist@gmail.com as I also bought from there. The price is more cheaper that we bought from Symantec.

I initially had norton which is the worst! Then I put Kaspersky and I still wasn't pleased. I am using nod32 for a long time now and I find it great! The main reason is because it's just like it's invinsible and I hardly even notice it. It updates automatically and my computer had no problem since I put it. I recomment it to all of u. Cheers :)

I use Kaspersky Internet Security. I feel this antivirus program quite good. Hopefully, everyone also likes it.

I use AVG free edition. I used to use Norton System Works but it allowed a Trojan Downloader into my computer and never even beeped until the Trojan was already in my computer! I have used AVG ever since and it has yet to let me down.

I started with Symantec's Norton Anti-Virus from way back.
However, now I have settled for McAfee. I find it quite flexible than most AV's.
I like it's network edition, too. makes easy job protecting a network and all those configs that you have to do as an administrator.

I usually go back and forth between the free versions of Avast or AVG. Both of these programs have worked well for me.
