BEST ANTIVIRUS

[devobitch]

and low and behold got me a virus

its like a brain fart

you know not to do it but you body goes lets do it anyway

Trend Micro PC-cillin 2002 9.02

Real-time monitor has virtually zero impact on system resources (ie, no sluggishness associated with constant monitoring), extremely frequent updates, built-in POP3 virus scanner, built-in WebTrap Java & ActiveX scanner, built-in firewall, built-in virus scan for Palms (integrates with Sync utility,) free updates (ie, no subscription fee like NAV & McCaffee,) just a damned good total package.

Perfect product? No, those don't exist. But I'm very happy with the level of protection provided by PC-cillin.

It's a worm, McAfee give it this name: "perniw" (weird name), EZ-Antivirus give it another name i can't remember.

If you want to be infected I can send it to you :evil:

search on mcafee didn't find anything on "perniw"

yes, i want to be infected so post url to d/l it

[Gambito]

I made the same search and find the same you find (nothing!), if you provide me with a place to post it I will gladly post it or mail me with your real mail and I will send it to you zipped and password protected to avoid e-mail scanners with instructions on how to extract it.

eTrust EZ Antivirus

Norton SystemWorks 2001 is my favourite Anti-Virus! But if you're using Windows XP or Windows .NET server, then I recommend using either OnTrack's Fix-It Utilities 4.0 or Trend PC-Cillin! Whatever you do, don't use McAfee!

BTW: Norton SystemWorks 2002 is not recommended! Many of the functions don't work correctly in it!

[User_Deleted]

NORTON been useing Norton 2002 Corp and it stops everything :D

[StOnD]

I don't need an antivirus, I use Linux.

[Impulfusion]

Norton AntiVirus all the way...!

[Stingray]

I hate Norton products...they have only given me headaches.

I use Grisoft AVG (free)... no complaints.

[mick0142]

NAV

[caerma]

Yeah Symantec Norton AntiVirus . . .

[ad.J]

NAV2k2 :)

[Miran]

I don't need an antivirus, I use Linux.

If Linux had the same user base as Windows, you would.

[AOXOMOXOA]

NAV :woot: NAV :woot:

[Guest Ryan]

all though mcafee virusscan has been included in every pc i've ever used, i've always preferred norton antivirus, so there lies my vote. they seem more reliable and show more effort imho. 100th post! :beer: :jump: :punk: :hump:

edit - just noticed i have 2 stars now :cool: . i feel special :p guess i've ascended to the next level, super saiyajin 2. :laugh: newbs don't stand a chance. :happy: hmm, mods seem to put up a good fight. :rolleyes: guess it's back to the hyberbolic time chamber for me then....give me 1 day! ;)

[uniacid]

If Linux had the same user base as Windows, you would.

yup, very true, if linux had the amount of windows users, linux would be full wit virus's :)

o and i vote nav :D
