What Anti-Virus ?
Looking for some information on Anti-Virus,
not happy with AVG looking at Norton 2004 Mcafee Panda views and comments appreciated thanks jase ps somebody has said norton slows down your PC ie memory usage ? can anybody advise |
I work for McAfee, couldn't possibly comment.
|
Sophos here
|
McAfee are top notch - and I certainly don't work for them.
For the home desktop the other alternatives I would trust are Kapersky and Norton. |
Another vote for Mcafee, I use v7 pro, nothing wrong with it, picks up ambigious virii easily n new auto updates daily.
|
I could say the same for the Norton products. Been using them for years with no problems (using 2004 at the moment and it works really well). A friend has McAfee and she has had a lot of problems with it (not auto-updating properly, not removing virus infections such as mydoom from the machine etc), but I think that's probably more down to her particular machine than the antivirus software.
Basically from what I've heard, there's not a lot to choose between them. |
Another vote for Sophos.

No probs with Sophos either :D
|
Used McAfee @ home and @ work for the past 4 years and never (touch wood) had an infection.

One more for Sophos as well :D
|
McAfee here and yes a ex employee ;)
but would still recommend them for AV and Firewall :D |
How do you lot afford Sophos, it was £99.00 last time I looked!

|

>>Corporate Connect - Free home use for employees
Ahh, my favorite price. |
PANDA. 10outof10 do a lot of pc repairs and use the online ACTIVESCAN from panda to check for infections.
usually finds stuff on systems which have norton and mcafee installed(and updated). so i always recommend panda titanium or platinum. |

Not likely. Try Freescan next time http://us.mcafee.com/root/mfs/default.asp |
I use Norton, and since I ve been "on it" I've been virus free!!
|
Mcafee for me, no issues in all the time that I have been using it, must be 8/9 years now!

Jase - Out of interest. Why didn't you like AVG? Their reputation is pretty good.

I have used Norton for yonks and eons... gets my vote.
|
used AVG 7 and got infected
was up to date and it did not pick up a virus !!! |
Avast has their Home edition available free for personal use. http://www.avast.com/i_idt_153.html
|
I`m a computer `numbskull`, why do I need an anti-virus?
|
n one, it'll stop your machine from becoming victim to a computer virus or more importantly will stop your machine contributing to the problem of computer viruses which are passed from machine to machine.
|
Oh, cheers Jack. Might just go & look at the free one as above.
|
n one - a firewall is just as important mate - stops unauthorised access in and out of your PC. ZoneAlarm is a good free one you can use.
