Hello

And after all of that ... I went with Kaspersky again. As I've been using it for a long while and I know it has kept my computer protected.

Thanks for the advice .. and continue to argue amongst yourselves

LOL, Kaspersky is decent though

 

Kaspersky now provide a maintenance pack to give support to vista

 

I dont go down the pub, so i cant comment, but £40 i dont have to spend, is £40 put toward paying another bill


Mart

 

You can get decent packages on Amazon for under £25.
Last year's version of the popular software packages (ie McAfee 2006) can be had for less than a fiver. They still come with all updates.

 

thanks but i prolly wont need it

 

next time renewal comes back, take a look at G-Data Antiviruskit. I know you trust KAV and another highly regarded engine is BitDefender. AVK combines both engines in a configurable form so you can choose to use either or both. This and a Sygate personal firewall configured you are set.

For a free option, I suggest Antivir. Very good scanning definitions, maybe even on par with KAV in some respects but you have to put up with an annoying windows when updating.

 

Trend Micro, although Vista support isn't due until the end of Q1, beta testing is available for Vista.

 

now for something slightly off topic, but I'm sure wont disappoint

Bitdefender versus Symantec

etc.

Now, go and watch the Symantec version:

Credit for this find goes to Gadi Evron, which I thought echoes the thoughts off this thread somewhat in a less serious manner. I still find it VERY strange marketing

 

My free trial of norton just expired, deleted it and got NOD32, within seconds its found a virus! win32/small.gv

Boro, run an in depth analysis with Nod32 on ALL your hard drives removable drives etc
