AVG > any other one AV solutions

And FYI, there is no one "end all" solution for AV. AVG will miss things that you'll need another program/tool to remove. It's the best because it takes up the least resources and has the one of the highest detection rate. Not to mention it's free.

Grisoft also just purchased Ewido so spyware protection may be added to AVG.

I would suggest to redo this poll and break it down with free avs in one section and pay avs in another.

Kaspersky by a mile, as someone ele on this forum said "Don't mess with the country where 70% of the worlds viruses come from"

[User6060]

why do you have to make 2 selections? NOD32 (Y)

[Bobster]

Just choose "N/A" on the other poll.

[wetlegs6]

Avast! to win!

[whizbt77]

I cant believe ppl are still having this dicussion. NOD32 for all ur antivirus needs, Its worth the money. [EOD].

[illicit]

I would have to say NOD32 for me.

[Driph]

NOD32 all the way!

[Maligogo]

I use NOD32 because it doesn't slow down my computer as much as Kaspersky did. But I trust Kaspersky more and I don't feel as secure with NOD32 :(

BTW, it's "Kaspersky". You might want to fix that ;)

As anti-virus choices changes every year among people due to new better programs or trial and errors, we all are bound to have changed our choices of anti-virus programs. These polls helps people make the right choice.

I use NOD32 and have been using the trial versions every months for the past 2 years. I am very happy with the performance and behaviours of NOD32.

[djesteban]

I have some questions for you guys :)

Does AVG free comes with a real time scanner AND is it low on ressources?

Is Trend Micro Officescan any good AND low on ressources?

Does Avast free comes with a real time scanner AND is it low on ressources?

if it is possible, please include the number of processes those software are using on your computer and the ressources per process they take...

thanks in advance to anyone that can help me with my question :)

Avast/Antivir > AVG (IMHO)

[Breeanna]

Kaspersky 6

[Cadish]

Kaspersky 6 (the final stable release is planned on 15.05.2006)

[Vistas2006]

NOD32

[Martyn]

NOD32 is very light on resources and is the only antivirus that gives me peace of mind :)

[priestz]

i think nod32 is pretty good

[random_user_uk_1234]

AVG, used it for years and no problems (used none before that)

Keep meaning to give NOD32 a try...

[HoochieMamma]

Kaspersky 6 (the final stable release is planned on 15.05.2006)

Isn't 6.0.0.299 (out now) final?
