Hello there I have formatted my computer because it was damaged by a virus , although I used to have AVG but it appeared un-useful , Macafee and Norton antiviruses are so complicated and make my computer run slower , sometimes they even intervene with my internet connection , Kaspersky is good but I don't have an original product so once it lock I can't use it anymore .. I tried ESET NOD antivrus but also I couldn't update it after while .. I don't know what to do , I really need antivrus , I cant keep frmatting my pc ever now and then .. what is your advice ?

I have very good experience with avast! Antivirus. I’ve been using it for over a year now, on all of my computers, and it works just fine, I didn’t get a single virus It’s free, and it updates automatically every day. If there is a virus, the alarm goes off, and I usually move the virus to the chest, because that’s what’s recommended. And I run the application at least once a week. They have their headquarters in Prague, and I’m very content with it.

Hello YazEid ... I advise you to use Kasper sky anti virus ... it's strong , light and wide spectrum anti virus ... but you have to buy the original copy ... because it's too difficult to catch an activation code for the hacked ones ... or you can use the trial copy and uninstall it each month and reinstall it again ... this will take some effort but it works ... anyways good luck and have a nice day ...

Hi. It totally depends on the need of the user. I mean if you are using internet a lot then you have a fear of spy ware a lot but in case you use USBs more, then it can be Trojans. As you don't seem to have that much knowledge about all these thing I advice you to use two programs alternatively. First install an antiviru, update it and scan your system thoroughly. Do the same with another one un-instally the previous program. After that you can keep either of the two programs running. You can use AVG, Antivir for the pair. It will surely fetch better results and you can repeat the steps every fortnight. Wish you a better computing experience.

i support Avast anti virus program..this keeps my files very safe and protects my computer in all aspects. i want to ask u one question, what system do u use? Windows or IMac?? because IMac do not need any antivirus program to be installed from external source, because apple computers do not get affected by virus soon and they block entire virus with their firewall..

I use MS-Windows .. I have read a lot about Mac OS , and I always wanted to have it , but the problem is that here in Jordan it is not used , and I can't find apple computers in the markets here .

Hi, I used a lot of antivirus free and i use many others thad had a trial period, and i think the best antivirus is called Kapersky, i used it only for a period because he's not free and you have to buy it, but if you want to spend money for an antivirus you can use Kapersky, it is absolutely the best.

Hello YazEid. I have been the victim of this VIRUS many times myself. But, I have the solution. I recommend you AVAST Antivirus. You can download it free from http://www.filehippo.org I am sure this will rock your computer and keep it safe from the VIRUSES.!! Trust me on this. I have been saved around 4 times :D :D
