I can tell you that the previous fellow's comment might be legitimate. I do have this encounter before.

When my friend return my thumb drive, i found out that there is an autorun .inf file.( i showed all my hidden files in my laptop)

Fortunately, i am using windows 7 hp. And i guess i am not infected coz after numerous restarts and using pen drive, none of them is infected with autorun.

I straight off delete the autorun file. It seems to be end of story.

However, after using kaspersky virus removal tool to scan my friend's infected computer and capture some virus. The PC is not free from virus.

I still have the autorun infecting my pen drive and KIS just won't quarantine it. ( i use my pen drive to insert the tool into the infected system)

Indeed. But it is not everything.

2011 version slows down my PC without good reason and causes my CPU usage to surge sometimes.

Operating it would become a problem for the users with limited broadband quota.

Protection against the autoruns and network attacks as well?

Oh yeah. I forgot anti virus does not have firewall.


+1

Agreed with the highlighted part.

I do not have good experience with the AVG.

I prefer bit defender free edition when it comes to free AV.

Polish Tank? Poland just starting to replace their indigenous tanks with other Western Tank such as the Leopard Tanks.

Back to the topic.

I still prefer using the proven technology for now like Kaspersky. I might try out that later. Thanks for sharing.

That is why i always use the internet security.

Have you tried any stand alone anti virus?

Hmm, it is not better than Kaspersky in terms of the virus database.

You use Norton?

Since there is a promotion for the Avira, i might buy it in the near future,

If no more, then use the Ccleaner lo.

What have you done??? You messed up with the registry stuff?

It is just an advertisement. Advertisement only shows pro only to impress the potential users.

The KIS is quite annoying sometime. It causes the CPU usage to surge without a reason.

After installing the latest version, it seems to be ok already.

Is it the "friendly" virus being deleted?

So far, it never restart my laptop without warning. Did you left your PC scan when you are not around your PC?

LOL.

The game is not the original version right?

Please share about the price information over here ya.

In terms of the database, it is the best. How was the latest version? Does it still hog around the PC resources?

I see. Thanks for the reply. Kaspersky's performance is still ok. So far, the random surge in the CPU usage reduce significantly. Yet, i am looking for another alternative when it expires. Other than the NOD32, any other AV or IS does not hog the CPU usage much?


A good way to mess up with the computer guy's cracks. I thought Avast almost same as Avira when it comes to catching the cracks?

After some bad experience with it, i was looking forward to try out some other brand.
