Antivirus(AGAIN!)

I've heard people swear by Avast saying that it's the best. I use AVG Free and have never had any problems for over 10 years now. It also catches malware. Sends me reports periodically of stuff it has blocked. Windows also has a free program but I don't remember the name of it. I'm sure you could find it on a search.

Hi there Vittos! Well, I used to depend on my deepfreeze but it's such a pain especially when I'm working on a long document or something that needs to be saved every now and then. I thawed my deepfreeze that led to having a lot of virus in my computer because when looking for information on the net, I open a lot of websites. I looked for an antivirus and saw that AVG is the most downloaded so I downloaded it. When I had it on my computer, somehow, my Avira started working again so as of now, I am using those two and the SmadAV for flash drives that is infected with virus.

I would suggest Avast. It is light and powerful.

Avira will offer you a little too much protection .I used it for more than a year in the past and they will give you false warnings.Which is not that bad but sometimes there is nothing wrong with the website you want to visit or software you want to use.

I was also having the same problem as your dude! But one of my friend here at MyLot recommended me to use Sandboxing and Light virtulization. And in my view, they are really good. These softwares are easy to use and also are light to your system, increase your PC performance. Using real time anti-virus will slow down your PC and give large load to your system. So, use the software I mentioned above.

I am new comer in using of computer and there are always warning on the screen to install Avast the anti virus.It seemed to me costly,so I not installed yet..Thanks to you for this posting there are a lot of responses to it giving more details.

I used Avira for sometime and it was not bad even though it use much hard disk space but it offers high quality protection. Now I'm using Microsoft Security Essentials, its good because its updated daily, free to download and powerful since int gives your computer a maximum protection.

All anti virus program that said by other lotters before me sound good but without combined with deepfreeze and cookies cleaner, .... we still gonna get virus. It happen to me once .... hiks

I should warn you that installing 2 antiviruses on the same computer e.g: Kaspersky and Avira will make the computer to stop working.So if you want to install another antivirus first remove your current antivirus. For those of you who don`t know how a real Internet security suite looks like you can download Kaspersky Internet Security and use it for free for a month.That`s real protection,Webroot and BitDefender are also great products...the rest are ages behind these 3 products.
