Hi I came to think that the anti-virus that I'm currently using,AVG Free,does not come with enough protection.So I want to use another anti-virus software..

Is Kaspersky Internet Security good and reliable?If I choose this,I must uninstall AVG first before installing this right?

yes..u need to remove AVG 1st before installing a new AV

mind to share how AVG not enuf protection?

Instead on buying or going kaspersky trial, try Avira or Avast 5 (free one), or even MSE.... smaller download size....

@TiF, a good place to start is http://www.av-comparatives.org ... for others, ask unker Gugel....

my question to TS is, how is AVG not enough protection? I've been using it on some of my pc for n-years and not a time my pc was infected by virus/malware.

i personally recommend (free one): avira, panda and bitdefender.....

Ah I see,thanks.

But I plan to get a antivirus that needs to be paid,between Kaspersky Internet Security and ESET NOD32,which is better?Or recommend others if you think it's gud.

Either one is good or Norton 2010 is also good choice

Either of it,all have good,complete and competitive protection.

yes, u wil require to uninstall ur AVG free 1st b4 u install another antivirus.
for free antivirus, i would suggest avast, avira, or MSE, for paid version, go for nod32 or NIS, kaspersky internet security is not bad.

Better go for Avast! 5 Free ..

File/Web/Mail/IM/P2P/Network/Behavorial Shield

Pair it up with the built in Windows Vista/7 Firewall it would be like an Internet Security oredi

BTW, there's no perfect AV/IS .. So you may keep MalwareBytes Anti Malware in your PC to scan ur system once a month/if you feel ur PC infected just in case the AV/IS missed anything.. It doesn't provide real-time protection so won't consume any resource.

been using kaspersky internet security for 3 yrs , very comprehensive protection , thumbs up for this fabulous antivirus suite

which of them using less memory... currently use symantec... felt that this AV to resource hunger

from my experience, esetnod uses the the least memory while giving satisfactory protection, it would be a good choice if you want to change your av

AFAIK, avira, avast, or MSE

U using Windows? Original? If yes, try Microsoft Security Essentials

http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/

i will suggest u ESET NOD32 antivirus...

i've used it since 2006 till now.

Avira has the highest detection rate in town.

and with a lot of false detection. For instance if I start to tamper some memory location or some dll file it thinks its a virus and blocks it.

has been using Kaspersky for years. It works well for me.

Hi Prasys,

not entirely true if you check the Feb 2010 FP report.
http://www.av-comparatives.org/images/stor...report25_fp.pdf

Avira has superb detection with lower FP now.




Avira successfully lowered their FP this year. GOOD JOB!

has been using Kaspersky for years. It works well for me.

Yeah.. NOD32 FTW..
really2 recommend!!

Norton is also good... Cheap too... bought for 3 users... rm110...

I've already use all kind of free AV with the combination of HIPS and Anti-Spyware but

all of them(AV) are not perfect. i still get infected. I dunno why.

now i upgraded my security by adding 3rd party firewall.

choosing an AV is like a gamble.

Personally, I think that no matter what anti virus you use, safe surfing habits is still the most important factor of all. Of course, don't go believing that you can do fine without any anti virus software either. No matter what, you need SOMETHING. Just think of it as a basic insurance policy. You have it, yet you're not gonna stick around until you get injured, are you? I have tried AVG(7,8,9), Avira(9 and 10), Avast(4 and 5), and Microsoft Security Essentials throughout the years, and personally, all are the same to me. Resource-wise, Avira and MSE are better than the other 2. However, do note that with ALL these programs(1 running at a time of course), I have never had a virus problem. Resource hogging isn't much of a problem for the modern- PC with quad cores and 8gb Ram. Therefore, you CAN stay safe with AVG, provided you practice safe computing habits. Of course, if you'd feel safer with a full-blown security suite, go ahead. But remember, no antivirus or security solution will give you a 100% guarantee, only you can ensure that. Cheers.


PS: Remember to always keep your Windows up to date. Sure, Windows might not be the most secure OS around, but you CAN stay safe with it, regardless of what Apple fan-boys say. =)

i tot tat one is Avira Premium.

Might want to try Panda Cloud Antivirus Free 1.1 http://www.cloudantivirus.com if you're always connected to the internet

Avira AntiVirus Premium is simply the best!

Definitely avira.
Low-resource.
Awesome detection rate.

well latest detection rates

http://pandalabs.pandasecurity.com/oops-we-did-it-again/

BTW this cloud technology seems cool

Its quite light.. 7mb-12mb for me..

One of the best anti virus programmes so far is the Avast professional for me. it comes with a simple interface and does all the jobs to keep my lappy safe.

+1 for avast!
Even avast! Free does the job well. =)

+1, been using avast free for almost a mth, nvr encounter any problem

last time i use, also get infected... well, maybe its not my luck

btw, i dun like its so newbie and simple interface

Maybe the capacity good....

using KIS 2011 now,so far so good....

Avira ! 1st choice

What you mean by capacity???

KIS..

How about you try Microsoft Security Essentials? It is free AV from microsoft and quite good too. If you absolutely must get third party then get Avast. The new version 5 is a very good improvement.

its not your pc free from infection, just that you din realize it

are you talking based on experience or what?

Experience. You can do a simple test, uninstall you avg, install another anti virus, and scan your pc, see how many virus you get.

use KIS. it is good.

Kaspersky or ESET NOD32 :]

Every time you install a new antivirus program you must uninstall the previous one.

Kaspersky is very slow and complicated to use.

Try the new Microsoft Security Essentials 2 and combine it with malware blockers such as Malwarebytes and Superantispyware.

http://bstdownload.com/reviews/microsoft-s...y-essentials-2/

i prefer comodo,its a ease of use,and again very nice application tho,just that it works a lil bit protective ,that annoyed u the most

ESET Smart Sercurity~ its very nice

LOL....im dont even use KAV...just use free antivirus...all same,whats diff is their function n services...

virus engine all same....nothing diff with free version....

free antivirus = basic protection
premium antivirus = comprehensive protection
lot of differences..

im not mention about other services...i mention its all same for VIRUS ENGINE...

look back at my previous post.....

n how u know they just give basic protection....u need google more...

maybe you're rite..i'm just giving my opinion..there should be value added service for premium av rite??if not why bother release premium av if free av can cater you need??

yes,but its depend others...for me,im only need better protection,

not too much care about additional services,just make our system lag....

for powerful rig,yes...but for old pc,maybe its too much annoying...

is it microsoft essentials or pctools is good enough for internet and virus protection?

bitdefender. its good 98% detection rate which is same as kis

try running malwarebytes first...and you doent need to uninstall your current AV for that.
lets see you PC infected or not..

vote for KIS...... i already use KIS 2011 for a few week since update KIS 2010.... nice to try it....

try avast too. not bad

No need to go to that extreme. Just go to Panda ActiveScan page and you can do a quick scan. I seriously doubt you'll find anything though. AVG is said to have the least amount of false positives, which can be a good thing if you're into warez. My Avast would just keep screaming about things it shouldn't be concerned about, I had to silence it whenever I install something like Crysis Warhead. Also, those loud audio alerts, if you don't remember to turn them off, can jolt you from your seat at night. But these days I'm just too used to Avast to switch to another.

CURRENTLY USING ARCAVIR 2011 INTERNET SECURITY TRIAL VERSION


Attached image(s)

Avira Premium Security Suite. Must have for all user! I find it has strong detection rate and doesn not take up must resource! FTW!!

Been using AVG free and Spyware Terminator for years, so far so good

avira for free.

avast free version...

Using Eset Smart Security currently, auto updates from time to time...

Now using MSE..

I have been using Avira Premium + Malwarebytes. It's good because it don't consume a lot of memory. Although people said that Avira caused a lot of false positive but it's one of the best free AV which detect almost most of the virus around.

From my experienced, any virus that avira missed, malwarebytes will do the work and vise versa.

Woah this thread still so active

Sounds fanboyism.
Correct 1 should be KIS 2011 is my ultimate choice for slowing down computer.

Anyway, I'm using ESET Smart Security 4.2, low resource hogging.

use avast or microsoft security essential

Give a try for VIPRE antivirus

VIPRE Home
VIPRE Business

We beat Kapersky easily

Here are some suggestion regarding anti virus package, you may take a look
http://kuyadoconcept.blogspot.com/2010/12/...what-to-do.html

Got something wrong with your article.
It should be :
All of them are called malware.

AVASTT!!!! huhuhu

been using free Avira for a year already.. without any problem

MSE for me

I might try Avast 6.I've been using Comodo Internet Security Premium now.

avast free antivirus or microsoft security essential

jz install avast, u wont regret wit it.
make sure u oni install 1 antivirus per system.

cheers

Well, I use Microsoft Security Essentials for my gaming machine while for my mobile device such as my laptop and netbook, I use a full Internet Security suite such as Kaspersky's for full protection.

Both does its job pretty well.

Normally I would recommend users who don't know much about computer to just get any all-in-one solutions i.e. Internet Securities for their ease.

As for myself and those a bit more tech savvy, I would go for ONE free AV, anti-malware scanner, and a firewall(not windows). That is pretty much a good rule of thumb to follow when it comes to surfing. Of course, one has to practise safe surfing given the security protection they have.

Yup, less hassle free to get an all-in-one solution since that one program basically handles everything.

Can't agree more that the user also has to be responsible when surfing or conducting any online activities to ensure a safe browsing experience. No matter how good the anti-virus is, it still can't completely/always prevent viruses from invading your computer. Also be wary when opening downloaded files or unknown files from anywhere be it your thumbdrive since if you give your computer or anti-virus the green light to open the file, you are also opening the door for the virus.

Unfortunately those are the common source of getting infected. The general question that everybody has been asking for the best security protection system is not the way to prevent yourself from becoming a victim of malware.

Eset. Background working antivirus. not annoying.

My suggestion should Avast. im at government sector. my ICT would recommend this.
So far so good no problem at all.

avast or avira... cant go wrong

Avast! 6 Free Antivirus features are just like an Internet Security just without the Firewall.. It has an auto-sandbox which is a + when an unknown program starts to run on your system.
