0 Zxian Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 which one uses the least resources and doesn't annoy you unless you actually have a virus? 586693479[/snapback] You can configure NOD32 to automatically delete any virus it finds on your computer and then disable the GUI. That way it won't annoy you even if you did have a virus... it does its job in the background completely silently. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 wineo Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Kaspersky is the best :yes:. Avast, Nod32 are quite good too. ;-) Please stay away from Avg, Norton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 HoochieMamma Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Though I do believe you can turn it off now. KAV2006 seems to be vastly faster in any case. I can barely tell the difference between having only NOD32 or KAV2006 on, and both on (with certain modules disabled mind you, or it's going to be conflict city). 586689563[/snapback] I know I can't wait for 2006.

0 boombip Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 NOD32. I use to use Norton before but I switched to NOD32 because I got tired of how slow Norton was. NOD32 is much better, imo. (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Raven Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 NOD32. Because it works and they sold me a two year subscription for only $30. Take that Symantec! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Mug3n Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 I've voted for Avast! because it's the best free antivirus solution out there. It's a small, light, fast and effective solution. If I had to choose a paid one I would go for Kaspersky (probably the best A/V) or McAfee. But besides the antivirus, precautions must start within us. People must know what kind of stuff they do with their computers, what kind of things they download, install and from where. :) P.S. - Sorry for my poor english. :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avast, Nod32 are quite good too. ;-)Please stay away from Avg, Norton. 586695410[/snapback] As a matter of fact, I voted for AVG Free. In my opinion, it is the best antivirus. Previously I had tried Avast!, and found it to be quite annoying. Smctainsh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 aggrophobik Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Recently switched to NOD32 from AVG Free. Quite happy so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 mipra Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 I have this message in another thread https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?act=...#entry586714405. So, I thought that I just copy down here: Hmm..people needs to know that comparing Norton Antivirus and Symantec Antivirus Corporate is like comparing apple and orange. Both are fruit for sure but they taste so differently. I have experience of a virus that crippled my AV (at that time it was NOD32). So, everytime I do Local Scanning, NOD32 will tell me that it has CRC check error. Thus, NOD32 is crippled. So far, I have SAV 10 (again...it's not NORTON ANTIVIRUS) in my comp. the 10 version is advertised to have a feature called "Tamper Protection". Thus if a virus wants to write itself to any antivirus program that it's programmed to acknowledge, then SAV can protect itself from any modifications.

0 chroniX Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 As suggested, I made the switch to Nod32 from Kaspersky, mainly because of my laptop needing as much resources free as it can get. I'm liking NOD32 so far, it's uses very little resources that it makes me wonder if its working at all lol. I downloaded some viruses on purpose and it caught them all. Another vote for NOD32 ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Navjot Singh Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I like McAfee very much - i don't know why but I love it. Waiting for the day when Symantec will realize tha they should make Norton lighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great (need to persuade work to change..... most of the machine's are mac's so persuading my boss to put a decent AV on the window's machines is hard, he doesn't see the need) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
