Shouldn't this be done at the end of the year so we can see what was the best anti virus of 2009?

If we vote now, a new anti virus could come out during 2009 which could smash the pants off of anything currently available.

I'm not really moaning, just a point I thought of.

Antivir/Avast for me. This is out of the free versions. If I paid for an antivirus, it would be NOD32.

Edit: Out of those free versions, which is the fastest on a PC with a slow HDD (so not much HDD writes etc)?

Theres only one kind of annoying fanboy thats second to Apple idiots, NOD32 fanboys

Same as Apple ones, despite being an awful product they will pollute forums with glittering comments about it

Nod32 is awful? How so? Seems to me like you're doing just as much polluting.

ROFL at Apple being an awful product. How off topic, really :rolleyes: for someone named stylemessiah, you should know better.

NOD32 has never worked properly on any of the dozen times ive tried installing it, and youre talking to someone who has been using AV since the first McAfee came out, and tested every one since, so i think im qualified to have an opinion as its actually very well informed. I would for the first time in a decade at least recommend the new nortons, kaspersky second and probably Avira 3rd. For free it would be Avast, followed by Avira Personal.

Why do people keep making these polls, the reality is that apart from nortons regaining some credibility the standings have been static for at least 3 years. So all this is a little pointless, surely theres better things to be doing than creating and debating in yet another poll that inevitably becomes a home for NOD fanboys....

Apple has an always will be: overpriced, closeted, behind beige normal PC's and only appeal to those who like to think theyre being different when in fact there just dumb sheep following an idiot who wears turtleneck skivvies. Its a cult, not a computer company

And its precisely because im stylemessiah that i dont follow trends, truth is much better, though hard for for some people to swallow....

I love all the detailed reasons why NOD32 is such a bad product. Along with the reasons for Apple too.

/sarcasm

I agree that everyone is in their own right to give their own opinion, but what bugs me is when someone talks down on a product or a company and doesn't give anything but silly and ridiculous reasons for their said opinion.

From your post and only what you have provided us, I understand you think of NOD32 as a bad product because it didn't work for you. Why must you stereotype Apple and Apple users so much? So because certain people use macs they're "just dumb sheep following an idiot who wears turtleneck skivvies"? Also, because NOD32 never worked properly for you, you see the need to put them in this ridiculous stereotype you've got for Apple fans. huh.

Anyways, for the topic I use NOD32 on Windows.

    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
    • The biggest issue in this version of Win 11 context menu, from usability standpoint, is the movable row with basic commands. Think of a car analogy...if You turn the week left the infotainment screen will move right and vice versa. With how it works now Microsoft made something forbidden in designing in any UI, software or hardware. I can't grasp who were the morons within Microsoft suggesting it was a good idea and gave it a green light.
    • LibreOffice 26.2.4 by Razvan Serea LibreOffice is the free power-packed Open Source personal productivity suite for Windows, Macintosh and Linux, that gives you six feature-rich applications for all your document production and data processing needs: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math and Base. Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. You, too, can also get involved! Choosing Between LibreOffice Still and LibreOffice Fresh: LibreOffice Still is a good choice if you value stability, a longer support cycle, and a more conservative approach to software updates. It's suitable for businesses and organizations where reliability and compatibility are crucial. LibreOffice Fresh is ideal if you're an enthusiast or an early adopter who wants to stay on the cutting edge of LibreOffice development and is willing to accept more frequent updates and occasional minor issues. Features: Writer is the word processor inside LibreOffice. Use it for everything, from dashing off a quick letter to producing an entire book with tables of contents, embedded illustrations, bibliographies and diagrams. The while-you-type auto-completion, auto-formatting and automatic spelling checking make difficult tasks easy (but are easy to disable if you prefer). Writer is powerful enough to tackle desktop publishing tasks such as creating multi-column newsletters and brochures. The only limit is your imagination. Calc tames your numbers and helps with difficult decisions when you're weighing the alternatives. Analyze your data with Calc and then use it to present your final output. Charts and analysis tools help bring transparency to your conclusions. A fully-integrated help system makes easier work of entering complex formulas. Add data from external databases such as SQL or Oracle, then sort and filter them to produce statistical analyses. Use the graphing functions to display large number of 2D and 3D graphics from 13 categories, including line, area, bar, pie, X-Y, and net - with the dozens of variations available, you're sure to find one that suits your project. Impress is the fastest and easiest way to create effective multimedia presentations. Stunning animation and sensational special effects help you convince your audience. Create presentations that look even more professional than the standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues' and bosses' attention by creating something a little bit different. Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be. Base is the database front-end of the LibreOffice suite. With Base, you can seamlessly integrate into your existing database structures. Based on imported and linked tables and queries from MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft Access and many other data sources, you can build powerful databases containing forms, reports, views and queries. Full integration is possible with the in-built HSQL database. Math is a simple equation editor that lets you lay-out and display your mathematical, chemical, electrical or scientific equations quickly in standard written notation. Even the most-complex calculations can be understandable when displayed correctly. E=mc2. LibreOffice also comes configured with a PDF file creator, meaning you can distribute documents that you're sure can be opened and read by users of almost any computing device or operating system.
