Most preferred antivirus
 

A poll came on sometime ago about which one is the better antivirus and firewall. I can't remember who got highest vote.
I want to try somethig new.
I have used avast antivirus-rubbish!
tried mcafee enterprise & desktop firewall-nt bad!
Am using avg free n mcafee desktop firewall-no problem with them!
I wanna try kaspersky firewall n anti virus. wat do u people think?

If you haven't got a problem with AVG free, why change it?

(I use AVG free and Sunbelt Kerio Free myself and have had no problems).

Re: Most preferred antivirus
 

maybe there are better than avg out there!

Re: Most preferred antivirus
 

For anti virus I would for Nod32 everytime.

Why do you think that avast! is rubbish :confused:

Re: Most preferred antivirus
 

Same combo here - all good so far!

Re: Most preferred antivirus
 

I use Avg have done for a couple of years now and it works for me

Re: Most preferred antivirus
 

I use kaspersky and Kerio and think their both very good.

I've been using Avast on various OS's for a couple of years now. It's always been quite reliable.

And, now I am testing Vista for Uni (we need to verfiy all our software runs on the final release), it's pretty much the only option for me.

I use McAfee VirusScan 8.0 on 5 pc's, never had a problem and you don't even realise it's running. :tu:

Re: Most preferred antivirus
 

I got an message from AVG today sayin the free version is to be stopped in January, presumably so they can start charging you for it.

Shame in my opinion, as i've found it to be quite trustworthy.

Re: Most preferred antivirus
 

No this edition is being stopped but they are bringing out a newer version which from the message I got is also going to be free

Ooooh good to hear, i must admit i didn't delve too deep as i was having wireless router problems at the time :(

Re: Most preferred antivirus
 

I have decided to stick with kerio 4.2.2 with HIPS enabled and nod32 with email scanning and web scanning but automatic file scanning disabled.

The problem I have found with anti virus software is aside from the noticeable performance hit they generally create incompatibilties and sometimes stability problems, so more trouble then they worth.

Kerio isnt perfect in itself it causes high cpu utilisation on lan transfers and slows them down without I can get over 90% on my lan with under 5% cpu used.
