Hi
I used to use the free version of AVG and for a long time had no problems. Then "BANG" I got a biggie and I was in a mess, AVG did not remove the problem.
I chased around a few forums and one suggested the Avast free version.
You have to remove any other antivirus programs before you install.
Having installed Avast successfully I did a scan and to my horror there were 46 trojan bugs that had not been found.
That was a few months ago now and it is always there in the background and I have had no problems since.
Hope this post was a help.

AVG has messed itself up recently and I have been having corrupted ctf file and false positive issues so I am liking it less and less.

If I can find and be convinced of an at least equivalent free alternative, I would think I would be quite inclined to switch.

I am using Kaspersky Anti Virus.It's fast on my laptop and it offers a good protection.
You can surf the Web,communicate and play games easily and safely.
It protects from Trojan,virus and worms.
It also protects from keyloggers.
So try it,it's free to try.

one of my friend is also using the same AV you mention I will also look on this

If you're willing to spend some money, I would advise you to use Norton or es/et aka NOD32. NOD32 don't take too much space and is very fast. However, there are others that are free and the ones I like are Avast and AVG. For Avast, you have to register the free version and you will be given a product key as you register it. Cheers!

Now a days, Only a good Anti Virus program does not ensure your security. You also need Anti Spyware and firewall program. So I suggest my client to use Zone Alarm Security Suite. Its a Firewall program with built in AntiVirus And Anti Spyware. I'm using Zone Alarm Security Suite for last three years. I'm Happy with that.

Kasparsky and Mcafee also a good Anti Virus program but without a firewall, its impossible to ensure your security.

zone alarm is compatible with spyware blaster am i right? coz the two are helping each other. zone alarm for incomming connection and spyware blaster for blocking harmfull website that you about to view or accidentally click or pops up. it is good coz it will protect you from anything incoming. you guys are lucky to have higher OS mine is a little bit terrible if you ask me. doh

I tried Norton but the one time it let a bug in, I got rid of it. My husband still uses it on his computer but I will not go back to Norton. I use Trend Micro Internet Security. While doing my PTC sites, it popped up a few times to warn me about things. So I recommend Trend Micro.

I use Avira anti-virus and Spyware Terminator for my internet security. I have them set to run every time I turn my laptop on or when it wakes from hibernation. I found the programs through this website: http://www.techsupportalert.com/ It's great for finding free, safe software to do the same things that most paid software does. The website is updated regularly.


Hopefully this helps!

I used Norton Anti Virus 2007
It helps a lot, coz before i click one site (I forgot the name)
many bugs appeared in my screen,
I try to rid of it through AVG but the bugs still there.
So I buy Norton 2007 & installed in my computer right away,,,,
the bugs is gone! Now my computer is virus free.
