I need a free antivirus, and i need to choose between these two bitches, so who which one is the best?

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #1 on:** October 16, 2007, 04:02:54 PM »

I use AVG, never tried Avast, though.

Candyflip · « **Reply #2 on:** October 16, 2007, 04:03:45 PM »

Any AV can be free if you try. Get NOD32.

hyp · « **Reply #3 on:** October 16, 2007, 04:06:32 PM »

avg... it's cheap. it's FREE.

MCD · « **Reply #4 on:** October 16, 2007, 04:06:45 PM »

Well, yes.

i love Kaspersky but they blocked all the keys, and i don't feel safe with NOD32, don't ask me why, but i don't.

Ecrofirt · « **Reply #5 on:** October 16, 2007, 04:29:47 PM »

AVG.

Avast noticeably slowed my PC, while AVG does nothing of the sort.

Just found 3 trojans and 2 email viruses with trial Kaspersky.

Professor, the internet is not safe anymore.

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #11 on:** October 16, 2007, 07:00:32 PM »

dude, i have 4 pcs in my house. i have no viruses and they all have NO virus protection. if you know how to maintain yer os and follow a few simple rules when browsing and properly set up email filters, there is no need to waste resources on virus "protection".

MCD · « **Reply #12 on:** October 16, 2007, 07:04:33 PM »

Professor, i surf without rules.

crack sites are the pain most of the time, and for some reason, most of the viruses detected are from system volume information.

I use AVG and lovelovelove it.

Also, Ecrofirt is my resident expert and he uses AVG. I trust his wisdom.

It's also never given me a problem. I recommend it to EVERYONE and it hasn't given my parents, friends, anyone I've had install it a problem.

Just remember to only use one antivirus on your machine--you probably already know that, but I knew a girl who was like "omg I have Norton AND Mccaffee AND Avast AND AVG AND I KEEP GETTING TROJANS WTF."

MCD · « **Reply #14 on:** October 17, 2007, 05:41:21 AM »

lol.

guess it is AVG then.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #15 on:** October 17, 2007, 11:31:50 AM »

Doesn't AVG start nagging you to pay after a while?

Seriously, been doing this for years and have never had an issue. If you're really paranoid, you can always put a virus scanner on a USB drive or something and boot to it or something every once and a while, but it's just not necessary provided you don't steal shit from the internet left and right.

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #18 on:** October 17, 2007, 05:27:13 PM »

yeah, if you aren't a pornhound or a pirate, virus scanners are largely unnecessary

you're not a pornhound if you use youporn instead of archiving gigs upon gigs of esoteric schisse footage on your home san

I'm both and I don't have any problems. I surf bareback, too.

I do anti-spyware, though. That's kind of a necessity.

Spyware the new virus.
