QUOTE(samurai1337 @ Feb 10 2007, 09:34 AM) Currently using ALWIL Avast since it's free, and Antivir/AVS for Vista haven't been released. where can i download it??So far so good  can give me a link pls ALWIL Avast thx Added on February 10, 2007, 11:50 am QUOTE(cylon @ Feb 10 2007, 09:51 AM) Once u install vista without any antivirus post-installed, the Windows Security Center notification icon at the bottom right corner will turned red, indicating security issues and in this case for the lack of avtivirus. Click the icon and it'll pop the Windows Security Center window. Under the "Malware Protection" / "Virus Protection" tab they indicate the lack of antivirus or non updated Spyware scanner. There's a little "Find A Program" button whereby it can directed u to another website where u can get Antiviruses provided by Microsoft Partners like from Symantec, Trend Micro, CA and few others. U can try it for free. Done it myself using Symantec Antivirus trial for 90 days. talking about free Symantec Antivirus trial for 90 days, i actually have the full copy..  does norton AV 2006 work fine in vista?? anyway, i dont really looking forward to use norton, as its takes lots of memory while vista it self already require a lot  This post has been edited by v1rtual: Feb 10 2007, 11:53 AM |

QUOTE(linkinstreet @ Feb 13 2007, 11:45 AM) I've used NOD32, Avast and AVG and all works. u enjoy installing AV and reinstalling them??Also used Norton 07. Why all the AVs? I was a gunie pig to test software for Vista... lol OMG, that is the worst thing to enjoy.lol have to update and deep full scan..waste lots of time.. i accept that Norton 07 is quite good, its just that it takes lots of memory that makes the computer lag easier..  |

QUOTE(Phoenixwunin @ May 9 2007, 12:55 AM) Guys.. I heard that kaspersky consume very big memory in Vista.. anyone can confirm it to me?? sorry Phoenixwunin, i never experience using Kaspersky beforeI've been using Kaspersky up to now for my XP. Now changing to Vista... I'm still looking for a good anti-virus to use on it.. thought of kaspersky... but need some clarification on the memory used by kaspersky in Vista. maybe u can consider using NOD32..im using it for both windows XP and vista.. It works fine to me Memory usage for NOD32 is only 22,224k This post has been edited by v1rtual: May 9 2007, 10:24 AM |

QUOTE(adriankhoo153 @ May 14 2007, 09:12 AM) Better to use all in one software la. Like NIS. Me currenty using N360 in my notebook All in one software??i was once using norton security.. it was really heavy, taken lots of memory.. and i dont really think that just for home users, we need all those all in one software..just a waste..correct me if im wrong though And zonealarm with AV also didn't satisfy me..i ended up using back my zone alarm pro, spyware doctor and NOD32 i think it works better than all in one security |
