Nemo Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 You're not going to get a single definitive answer as everyone has their own favorite. You might want to check out this thread as it addresses the same question. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
neddamttocs Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 As Nemo has said, everyone has their favorite AV. I personally use either NOD32 (paid) or AVG 8.0 Free (free). Moved to software and security forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
technodanvan Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Free or Paid? Definitely makes a difference doesn't it? Personally I'd shell out money for Nod32 or Kaspersky. I use Nod32. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulktreg Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Tried a few free and paid anti-virus packages in the past. Paid for Kaspersky over 12 months ago and I would highly recommend it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kovoet Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Prefer NOD32 as it puts less strain on the PC like Norton example slows a lot of the system down Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 NOD32 for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Games Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 after a serious breach in our corporate anti-virus in the lab about 18 months ago (Norton Enterprise let something in and it ended up getting into every PC on the network), I took all of the pc's through a testing routing where I put about 20+ different anti-viruses on each one to see which one would find and cure (or at least just find) the problem. Out of all 20+ AV's, the ONLY two that even saw the problem (and both easily corrected the problem) were: NOD32 Kaspersky Just to be sure, I repeated this test on the remaining 6 computers in the lab, and the same held true for all...ONLY NOD32 and Kaspersky detected the virus and so only those two could correct the problem. This was a nightmare, as well as a wake-up call for the fact that I'd paid through the nose for years for Norton Enterprise as it had never failed me before. Now, to be sure, as others have said, everyone's opinion is going to be different. For $30-ish, I wouldn't even look at another AV besides NOD32 or Kaspersky. (ps keep in mind I continuously test AV's as well as my own business as tech/networking dude means I regularly have to fix computers infected with God-knows-what, so it isn't like I only use NOD32 and Kaspersky and refuse to even try anything new). One up-and-comer that is pretty decent is Avast! Professional, but it still isn't up to par with the other two yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
