anti virus protection software

Hawkeye · 08-08-2006, 08:05 PM

So I'm thinking of just downloading some anti virus protection software, whether I have to 'pay' for it or not. Norton or something sounds good, but I just plan to download the torrent for it anyways, and not really pay anything. Can someone recommend like, the best anti-virus protection out there, so I can download it?

I have AVG, I'm just looking for something...better.

Yes, as stated above, Norton is good. For any of your anti-virus type needs, Symantec (who makes Norton) is the best out there.

Except for all those bitter people on slashdot who seem to think it's the biggest thing to invade their system and they're absolutely sick and tired of it?

I haven't had any troubles with AVG. It's quiet, out of the way, and does what i need. What exactly is it that you're looking for to be better?

I use ClamWin in Windows. It's an open source project. It works quite well and has a small memory footprint.

I just get the notion sometimes that AVG misses a virus when it enters my system, and it doesn't really help getting rid of spy ware or anything. I just want my computer running smoothly. Mind you, viruses hasn't been crashing my system or anything, it's just sort of a precaution so I feel safer.

So I figured, what's the best kind of anti virus program? Probably ones you pay for.
