Which Anti-Virus software do you prefer?

Hello winterliang. I think you have raised a good question and very needy too in todays time. I think all antivirus softwares are equal (on basis of virus removal), except the few, just the user should know how to use them effectively. I do have vista 32 bit installed on my system and its inbuilt anti-malware is the best of all malwares available in market. So, with Vista installed one needs only a good antivirus software like AVAST 4.8 professional and no need to install a full internet security software. They are very heavy too means they occupy much RAM. Further, I prefer some independent virus removal tools also. If u have XP then install any good malware and spyware software and then a good antivirus software like AVAST will then work. Among all the complete internet security systems, like Bit-defender, AVG, McAfee, Norton, Quick Heal, Avira, etc. I think if you can compromise with less speed quick heal is the best, otherwise Bit-defender and McAfee should be the choices. Happy virus free computers. Happy MyLotting.

Personally, I like both Avira and AVG. Norton is definitely a resource hog and according to some studies not necessarily any better than the free antiviruses! I believe Avira takes more memory than AVG, but I think it is also a little better at what it does.

Avira for all my life. It's free fast and finds almost all viruses. And sometimes, a scan with Prevx :D

a few years ago I use F-Secure, AVG and Norton, but now i'm using NOD32, so I recommend this one. now my pc is very stable. daily update when u connected to the internet.

I use avira (German antivirus, it doesn't occupy much memory and quick startup), Qihoo 360 security(anti-spyware, malware,trojan and ARP attack,full function), Skynet firewall(chinese small firewall)

i like avg alot because its always free to use. i try using paid ones like norton, mcafee, and other antivirus. this is the best antivirus so far i used.

i am using NOD32 for more than 2 to 3 years now and i have never faced any probelm with it and so i am very happy with its performance. i mean it is very light on the system and also the scanning is very powerful. so i think it is the best one for me.

I'm pretty happy with AVG. I use Spybot every now and then as well. It was already on my computer anyway...

as regards anti-virus i don't like very much the norton one veen if is the most famous as regards these products!!so as brands i like avg,nod32,kaspersky and even macafee can be ok!! personally i like avg anti-virus too becaus ei noticed is good and detec really soon the viruses and so you can have a good protection from viruses too for your pc!!considering also that they have a good freeware version...i think avg is one of he most appreciated!also other brands as nod32 or kaspersky i think they strong as virus detection and security programs!!

winterliang I used norton too but I hav e found free avg is really a lot better and provides great protection and as you said it doesnt slow my computer down.I need to move to avg9 I think it is. anyway I love avg

Sunbelt Vipre, it isnt free but it is way better than the well known antivirus programs. It doesnt nibble so much resources, scans lightning fast and has a cool user interface. If you use your brains you can even get it for free.

Recently,I am using NOD32 in my laptop.One of my friend once recommended me to use it.It is small and it doesn't take up too much memory.So it will not slow down my PC.Besides,the software is inexpensive which is very suitable for me as I am a student.I also use Qihoo 360 security as a complement.

Me too was using Norton initially and I'm completely agree with winterliag that it really eats up the speed of your pc. So I then switched to McAfee as it is very light for any Pc and it works like as it is not present here. I really like the McAfee.

i've tested a lot of antivirus, but no one detect all viruses. I think Nod32 works fine, but i had a problem with ise32.exe months ago and kaspersky was the only one who detected. now i'm working with forefront client securoty and mcafee, but i still believe in nod32 like better antivirus. Sometime the virus is so new and the only way get it out is make a batch.

Hi, I personally use Kaspersky Internet Security 2009, since for me it performs better than most other anti virus programs. It detects and removes more than the other programs do. Make sure you have a good day, Happy Lotting!!

i am quiet satisfied with avast, have used kaspersky earlier and it is nice too.... i don't like norton though.

i've never liked Norton because it's a resource hog but when i tried their 2009 version, i was quite amazed with it's performance. AVG and Avast won't get my vote 'coz it's like you're exposing your computer to viruses. Avira is good but i've noticed that their sercurity suite slowed down my internet connection. Bitdefender is good but it has become a resource hog. NOD32 and Kaspersky are both ok. i'm currently testing F-Secure and so far so good.
