Antivirus Support

I have been using Avast for a while now and it is really good. a friend of mine who is a master mind when it comes to Comp related stuff recommended Avast to me. I have Avast AV and Commodo Firewall. Apart from this I use, Malwarebytes' Anti malware. I run Malwarebytes' twice every week or when I suspect that something is not right. But honestly, since I installed Avast and Commodo, I have never had any malware issues. May be you have some malware issues. Try running what "stormragetz" or I recommend, before changing the AV.

It is possible that your system is acting that way because malwares that Avast can't detect have been lurking on it. It is a fact that there's not single antivirus which can detect every type of malware present today so it is always safe to have one or two others for backup. As for me, I use Windows Defender (of course)and AVG and run them almost everyday. I also have Malwarebytes just to make sure I am not missing out any malware. I also have Adaware and SPyware Blaster installed for added portection. These are what keeps me off from known malware infested sites and lastly I have Spybot to detect rootkits that are usually not detected by ordinary antivirus, especially the free ones. Even with all of these, I still don't feel safe so I have to regularly scan my system for any thing that may still be hiding somewhere. There are also some minor stuff I have installed on my computer like the AdBlockPlus (a Mozilla Plugin) to keep my system free from unwanted and harmful stuff. But the most important thing to do of all is to regularly update all of them because it is pointless to have them all installed and running but none can actually function well because there's practically new malwares appearing everyday that they can't detect if they aren't upgraded.

Hmm.. well as per my knowledge avast is good free antivirus software.. but when some danger viruses come which hit your system files at that time avast/avg/other free antiviruses fails.. I think to install norton or mcafee is the best solution for any system. as norton and mcafee both giving best security solution..

Hi friend, I am using Quick heal 2009 antivirus software latest version and protecting virus from my computer. Its a latest version antivirus software removes the virus affected files,trojan, new folder virus. Quick heal is daily updates the version. have a great day.

I think you should check whether the antivirus is of good quality or whether there is another antvirus in your computer. Remove unwanted files from your computer. It will be good to change antivirus. Thank you.

hi.friendtam earlier me also use avast..but it slow down pc..so i will try with kaspersky. u can try it.. its use very low system memory..

friendtam why not try free AVG 8 its really great and it doesnt really slow my machine that much but it gets all the viruses and 'I have never had one slip by it. I really like AVG 8, I get the freee one every year and have never had virus trouble ever.I am sold on it for sure.

I am also using Avast Antivirus. This is because I have read reviews for the best free antivirus software, and Avast came up top. I am also quite satisfied with its performance. Are you using the latest Avast Antivirus? If yes, you can try 'Adaware', a software that sniff out malware and virus too. I think it is pretty good, a must have for every computer. You might try Norton as it is still one of the better ones in the market, but it is still criticized by many for slowing the computer. You might try the gaming version of Norton Antivirus, which is more lightweight. Good luck on your computer!

It have become slow cause ur hit by a virus or lot of unwanted files in ur system Most importantly follow this steps Use latest orginal antivirus Keep it upto date Schedule for update & alos virus scan daily Most most importantly use the trusted sites only and dont download and install files in ur system from some spam/fishing sites. Use trusted site only & have browser control like macafee u can use which blocks untrusted sites

Try Eset Smart Security, since I use this antivirus I did not encounter any problem with viruses.

Maybe you just have to reboot your PC! I have done it on mine and now my pc works like new!

i have avira antivirus installed on my laptop. some it guy installed it. i don't know if it's doing a great job or not. sometimes a pop up window comes up telling me that this file seems harmful blah blah. then there are choices as to what i want to do with it --- ignore or quarantine or etc i don't think avira slows my laptop down. i am just not sure if it's one of the best or if it's highly recommended. i forgot to ask the it guy.

I used the Grisoft AVG Free product until last year when a family member was hit with doozy of a virus called "Antivirus 2009". The family member actually loaded the software herself thinking it was genuine. The only free/trial antivirus/spyware software that identified the problem was the free version of Webroot's product "AntiVirus with SpySweeper". All the others would begin scanning the EXE file and just hang the PC. I had used SpySweeper in the past but dropped it for AVG Free. When I saw how well it cleaned this pain of a virus I uninstalled AVG and bought three copies of the Webroot software - two for me and one for my relative.
