Which Antivirus should one use?

[Crewdawg]

What Speesky said. Successfully running McAfee Antivirus+Malwarebytes AntiMalware+Spybot. I had issues with Norton not playing well with any other programs, like AVG.

I use ESET Smart Security Suite, works pretty good.

:thumbup:
and they have antivirus for Apple (but it is called something different,Apple is virus free )

i've changed from Avast! to Ad-Aware based on alot of reviews from PC mag and other sights Ad-Aware is the best free AV on the market hands down

Nod32 is very good, IMHO, as well as Malwarebytes.

It's good to have ccleaner or Eraser as well, if needed.

I'm using Microsoft security essentials at the moment. I honestly don't worry much about malware. Common computer sense goes a long way. I haven't had a virus in 4 years.

That would be correct.

Whatever is built into the OS of your MAC.



Sorry, I couldn't resist.

I don't get it, as long as you stay up to date Linux should be secure enough for most people.


Seriously though, stop using Vista, that thing was a mistake to begin with (it should have been called "windows 7 beta").

Norton Anti-virus (costs about $40 per year)
Malwarebytes pro (costs about $30 for a lifetime license) (free version is good, but pro is real-time; free version you must manually run)
Spybot Search & Destroy (free) (must manually run, and update)

I work at a computer repair shop, and these are the best antivirus/anti-malware products.
