Ntl Netguard Or Norton Or Other Anti Virus ?
 

Ok which option do you think is best to take the ntl net guard or stay with what you trust ? im thinking of uninstalling norton and heading over to netguard

Re: Ntl Netguard Or Norton Or Other Anti Virus ?
 

Though I like NAV. A few weeks ago my brother had a problem with an up to date NAV 2002 not finding viri. He used a online web site to clean his computer, and installed AVG, which found another.

ok thankyou

Re: Ntl Netguard Or Norton Or Other Anti Virus ?
 

I had to take Norton off as my comp didn't like it once they added a lot of new stuff, I have been using AVG for nearly 2 years now

Re: Ntl Netguard Or Norton Or Other Anti Virus ?
 

If you do uninstall norton use the uninstall utility from the symantec website,
I uninstalled from add remove progs and ended up with pieces of the program still left behind.

i am seriously thinking of ntl netguard

Re: Ntl Netguard Or Norton Or Other Anti Virus ?
 

I've been using BitDefender Pro for a couple of months now.

Normally I wouldn't pay for an AV as there are plenty of reasonable free ones available, I certainly wouldn't normally choose something which is a combined AV/Firewall/Spam Detection program.

However.....this one has been absolutely fantastic, it is updated regularly and catches evrything I've thrown at it, the Spam detection learns as you go along, and the firewall is easily configurable.

Well worth the money.

so anyone on here using netguard ? if so whats it like ?

Re: Ntl Netguard Or Norton Or Other Anti Virus ?
 

i have done the unthinkable and uninstalled horton internet security and installed netguard + microsoft antispyware and am trusting windows firewall today at present all i can say is my computer has speeded up alot so we will just have to wait and see :eek:

Re: Ntl Netguard Or Norton Or Other Anti Virus ?
 

well oi oi jonboy i have just done allmost what you have done i have microsoft antispyware ... ntl netguard and norton firewall ............ everything seems ok so far

Re: Ntl Netguard Or Norton Or Other Anti Virus ?
 

As a Freedom BB user NTL for some reason doesn't supply Netguard free to us.
Having said that, I have used AVG for 12 months plus the free Zone Alarm, and they have both worked fine.

I also use Spybot search and destroy, AdAware, and Spyblaster.
Regularly updating and scanning with these free programmes seems to work ok for me.

Re: Ntl Netguard Or Norton Or Other Anti Virus ?

Re: Ntl Netguard Or Norton Or Other Anti Virus ?
 

well it has found 1 virus already that norton could not ........... this is looking like a nice product from ntl and works out at aprox £3 a month of my pc bill so thumbs up ntl its looking good

Re: Ntl Netguard Or Norton Or Other Anti Virus ?
 

yo paul when u say £3 of do u mean £3 off your bill cos its a free progie :D

Re: Ntl Netguard Or Norton Or Other Anti Virus ?
 

:dozey:

Re: Ntl Netguard Or Norton Or Other Anti Virus ?
 

Hey, I changed to Avast and that found 8 viruses which Norton didn't, so it's not hard ;) :D

Re: Ntl Netguard Or Norton Or Other Anti Virus ?
 

no what i mean is its a £3 a month saving compared to what i was paying norton

Re: Ntl Netguard Or Norton Or Other Anti Virus ?
 

50/50

It deleted a few joke programmes & didn't run while i was playing GTA:SA.
The joke programs weren't viri, and maybe the program should have run slowly whilst i was playing SA.

So i'll stick with NAV'05 until it's not worth it.

Re: Ntl Netguard Or Norton Or Other Anti Virus ?
 

I haven't yet tried Netguard, and I don't have any particular plans to do so. Why? Because I'm already protected.

However, for anyone wanting advice on other AV software, here's some for free - ditch Norton. Yes, it's fairly reliable and it's simple to set up and use, but it's slow and bloated. Take a look at NOD32 and Kaspersky, both of which are faster, more lightweight, cheaper and better at virus detection and removal than the more mainstream AV packages such as Norton and McAffee.

Re: Ntl Netguard Or Norton Or Other Anti Virus ?
 

I prefer Avast.

Re: Ntl Netguard Or Norton Or Other Anti Virus ?
 

found a slight bug today when i am logged on and switch user with my other half ntl netguard does not protect her ? :mad:

Re: Ntl Netguard Or Norton Or Other Anti Virus ?
 

It is from NTL so what do you expect??

Re: Ntl Netguard Or Norton Or Other Anti Virus ?
 

ditch it. it useless.

- AVs: AVG or Avast (i use the latter)
- Firewalls: ZoneAlarm, Sygate or Kerio (i use the last one)
- Spyware: Spybot S+D, AdAware, Microsoft AntiSpyware, SpywareBlaster, SpywareGuard (I use all these)

will be adequate protection for your PC. and it free. almost as good as pie.

Re: Ntl Netguard Or Norton Or Other Anti Virus ?
 

Used to use norton internet security suite, but it was bloat ware, made pc run so sloooooooooooooow, after full reformat, now only using NTL Netguard, and no probs whatsoever!
One thing I did notice, when you watch the install on netguard, it says installing firewall + antispam, maybe these were already there, but not yet activated by NTL, as it says it wants to charge for them later on?
