paid product (in this case, antivirus) came with personal serial number in which you use it to register/activate your installed antivirus. usually when you register, you will be asked to provide your email and other necessary particular so that in case you lost or forgot your serial number, or in your case, you format and reinstall your OS, you can ask to retrieve it (the serial number).

however keep in mind that the serial number should not be share with any of your friends or families (i mean using the serial number to install it to multiple computer that are not yours), unless you're buying multiple licenses/multiple copy of the product. misuse of serial number will lead it to be blacklisted.

thx for info

If you are thinking paid is better than free, than you are wrong. Cause I am one of those people using the free version and I am still protected. Here are my security setup up.

avast Free v6
Online Armor free v5
Sandboxie free (One of the first thing I install when format)
Malwarebytes
Eset Online Scanner
Panda USB Vaccine Portable
Winpatrol free
Neo's Safekeys (protection against keylogger)
Lastpass
ClearCloud DNS

Browser :
-Firefox with WOT, ad blocker plus
-Google Chrome with WOT, ad blocker
-Updated Java and flash


I don't believe in paying for security after finding out that my free combo works as great as paid suites or even better. If you really want to fork out money, I will suggest KIS 2011 3 user license. Heck even you can get kaspersky for free. How?
Read what I wrote here.

And there is no such thing as best antivirus. The best thing is the user is educated. Security software can only protect you so far. The rest is up to the user. If a user is click happy, there is no pint of having the world's best antivirus. Take Mac user for example. They are ignorant that their Mac is completely bulletproof, hence, a lot of them got infected with Mac Defender rogue.

AVG is still lousy. Not worth it.

How sure are you your computer is virus free? Submit that particular file to avira and see. Maybe is a false positive, maybe is not. They will tell you whether that file is malicious or not. That is one thing good about their virus lab.

Submit here.

u use so many anti virus? but i think avg also good

Those are not antivirus la. Let me list it down again.

avast Free v6 (antivirus)
Online Armor free v5 (firewall)
Sandboxie free (virtualisation)
Malwarebytes (on-demand scanner. In case something slip past)
Eset Online Scanner (on-demand scanner)
Panda USB Vaccine Portable (protection against USB virus. But my avast can take care of it anyway)
Winpatrol free (monitor any startup program. You can even disable them from starting up, delay them)
Neo's Safekeys (virtual keyboard - protection against keylogger)
Lastpass (Password manager - protection against keylogger and phishing sites)
ClearCloud DNS (filter out dangerous websites, phishing website)

Hope that is clear enough.
AVG I still don't trust. Until AV comparatives and Wilders forum people start giving it good grades, I will stay clear of it. AVG cannot even clean a virus inside the pendrive last time I tried it.

ohh...cause u dint write beside i dont knopw

Kaspersky is overrated, lol. Resource hogging and a lot of false alarm too.
If you practice a good surfing habit, even a free anti virus is enough already. I was using AVG Free for ages already, not even got infected before. Switched to ESET recently, due to AVG causes slow startup speed.

TS , how you ensure tat thing is clean eventhough virus detected ?

hi bro. wat is ts mean?? u mean avira is mean bad too?

Just wanna ask anyone here caught virus while using free antivirus like avast, avira??
If those free antivirus could protect us, why there are still people buying paid version?
