Mine is about to run out and I need suggestions. I bought some for like 20 bucks and it absolutely sucked. It would virus and spyware scan weekly and never catch anything but tracking cookies which leaves me to believe it didn't do a thing.
plz halp

Avira AntiVir - Personal:
http://www.free-av.com/
Works great for me.
-
I pay $100 per year for Trend Micro, great scanner never had a virus issue for about 3 years now
-
3 words AVG Anti Virus I use limewire with it and never had a virus
-
The Latest Norton 360!
-
I use AVG 8.5, no viruses gone trough.
-
Avast is free and good
-
I use AVG 8.5, no viruses gone trough.
Same with me. So now thats 2 people with a working computer with the same virus protection.
-
Don't use: norton or mcafee
AVG would be your best bet.
-
*agrees with kill*
Norton is heavy as an elephant, slowing computer down. I know from experience, my computer startup speed and overall processing speed during normal use went up alot when I switched to AVG.
AVG is indeed free, but if you want a firewall out of it too, you need to buy it.
-
My one catchs tons of cookies.with ads.
Clean strataight record. never had a virus detected.
-
you surf the internet and your scanner has never detected a virus ?? thats not a good thing :neutral:
-
My norton did get attacked however.
Guess the record is DONE.
-
Avast or Avira.
-
Avast and Ad-Aware real-time scanner
Windows Firewall behind a secure router
Firefox addons Ad Block Plus and No Script!
Spybot S&D hosts file blacklist
when infected use:
Malware Bytes
AVG Anti-Rootkit
Combo Fix
Hijackthis
CCleaner
-
Ad Block Plus is excellent, I find NoScript a little bit too overkill and paranoid.
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is the sh** when it comes to spyware removal.
Combofix, Hijack This! and CCleaner are all very good, too.
-
it's that time of the year again and I need to hook my computer up completely (virus protection, firewall, etc), anyone have good suggestions? It doesn't have to be free, but I'm not looking to spend a ton.
-
I could only really suggest Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. It is free, and it's very good. I've also got Microsoft Security Essentials, but I'm not sure how much that would cost.
-
I use a CCleaner/Spybot S&D/AVG Free combo for my security. Seems fine.
-
I use Avast. I don't need anything else.
-
Avast, with 90% of the stuff turned off. Only thing left on is auto update and scheduled weekly scan. No anti virus can protect you if you are an idiot and download from unreliable source, that's what school computers are for.
My Firefox however has at least 3 things running at a time (scriptblock/adblock/stylish) which combine with disable avatar/sign/profanity/smilies allows me to actually browse this forum.
-
Avast + AVG 2012 (Free edition)
-
Either Avast or the free AVG IMO.
-
Norton?
I'm gonna hurl
Personally I use some local thing and it's pretty good, amazing support even if it should fail.
-
Symantec Client Security is what I use. Not sure why.
-
I like Panda Cloud.
-
I use Norton.
-
I use Norton.
STOP IT!

I use Norton.

I would venture to say that Ben wasn't trolling and actually does use Norton.

Wile looting a scrap heap the other day I found my old copy of Norton antivirus, I picked it up and said "why did I ever throw you away?" As I said this I suddenly caught fire, then I relised why Norton ended up there.
... oh and I use AVG and Avast because if one don't work the other will!
-
Panda Cloud, dawg. It's free, light, and it works.
-
kaspersky and malwarebytes. A class stuff.
