My pc was infected by some = w2 korgo b, Brontok....
Is there any good AV to remove this im using norton and AVG seem to be not FX to these viruses.. SOS

trying using anti vir, it's a free anti virus, can remove almost all types of viruses
use ad-aware personal edition to remove ur spyware, freeware also

u can also consider kaspersky & bit defender too.

YES, MY SCHOOLS COMPUTERS WERE INFECTED WITH BRONTOK VIRUS TOO. I USED KASPERSKY ANTIVIRUS TO DETECT N DISINFECT IT.

ANYWAY, I BOUGHT A LICENSE COPY AT THE IT AVENUE, THE CURVE. SHOP NAME I THINK IS SBC OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

How bout AVG 7.5 Pro?

Get the new norton anti-virus 2007. Got the trial period when i bought my pc and extended my subscription for 1 year. work wells so far

it doesnt consume a lot of ur cpu usage at all?

AVG 7.5 Pro Vs Norton Antivirus 2007. Which one to choose?

As far as i know, Norton is a resource-hog.

I am using the free version of AVG by the way, suit me well since i do not put my self at risk with unusual files.

recourse hog means? consume processor usage a lot?

how abt avs?

AVS - Kaspersky Engine = Perfect. (Well, Almost)

Resource Hog = Use up A LOT of RAM/Memory. Thus, Computer lags/Slows down.

No doubt, AV uses Processing Power. So, it naturally is a Processing Hogger. That goes to ALL AVs. Undeniable. Cheers!

These good enough

But some claims that AVG is light version thus will not lag down pc.

Hardly felt anything on AVG anyway

recommend bitdefender 9 ( the paying version , satisfaction guranteed)

BD v10 was disappointing. Slower than Kaspersky 5.xx.xx Series. My opinion. And it just gave the same amount of Detections. Kaspersky earn my vote.


Processor Hogger and Memory Hogger are 2 different things. In this age of time, Most computers would have outlived the 500Mhz Processor Timeline. In fact, quite a number of forumers are in 1Ghz and higher. AV Hogging Processing power is no longer an issue, and in fact, you can't feel it. The DIFFERENCE is that Memory Hogging is a BIG Issue. Windows XP uses a lot of RAM. If the AV uses a lot of RAM, the user will have no more RAM. So, Lag. Period. AVG and NOD32 are light weight. Period. Why? They don't take much RAM.

Cheers!

i recommend Kaspersky...so far using it, can detect brontok.more reliable then my previous AV

Been using Mcafee so far and I'm happy with it. Detects the virus almost instantly at least for my case

use avira antivir to remove all those brontok

so i guess i am gonna stick with AVG pro 7.5

Kaspersky not bad, quite cheap oso bout RM50 for the retail version (just got a copy from april's PC fair)...the only setback is require quite some RAM or else will slow ur comp down...protection vice is pretty good.

Kaspersky!!

thumbs down for Norton....expensive, slow, eat alot of resources....

Brontok from our student here can help you fix it... And, the another one, please use Nod32 or Kaspersky (my recommendations)...

Comparing the retail copy of Kaspersky and AVS...are the detection rate and cleaning ability the same??

I'm actually using a retail copy of F-secure Antivirus 2007 right now, i'm considering an alternative anti virus to use when my license run out...

Is this site reliable for ranking of anti-virus programs in terms of detection rate??

Try bit Defender... a recommended antivirus. Quite cheap sommore But will make ur computer slow a bit.

my vote goes to kaspersky

i personaly like symantec antivirus corperation edition and have been using it for few years already.

i love panda AV...

try AVS powered by kaspersky and it is free

yeah, i'm using it too, the official site

AVG 7.5 free edition . no cost need..

is avg that good? i know its light, but it failed to detect my virus last time. now i'm using symantec. better even slow a bit.

try to use kaspersky and ad-aware.

This is the best of best antivirus, go for :

Bit Defender .. someone in the bulk section sell it for Rm 45 .. cheaper .. but for Kaspersky, just add Rm 5 and you will get the one of the best antivirus in the world and easy to manage ..

P/s: Both is near equal .. just i don't like the way BitDefender eat RAM ..

I found NOD32 quite reliable not to mention it need really low computer resource~

yes thats true, low computer resource and best computer data protection from virii, trojan, rootkits and etc.. Although Kaspersky is good one also cannot beat NOD32 in the low computer resource matter.

yes, both scan result is the same efficient.

for me kaspersky. dont use avast because its suck lately.

avira and nod32 also not bad.

most important is buy the genuine. got full access. below 100 only

NOD 32 BEST..
low computer resource matter

u can try using kaspersky.

Yea, try kaspersky. Great av, use little resource only. Just keep updated then u should have no problem.

Use Avira Antivir Personal Classic
It's the best Free Antivirus around this time.
Low Memory Usage (lower than 10K)

Their Premium Edition won the best detection rate in http://www.av-comparatives.org/
check it out. I don't really believe in magazine to rate them.

Con: No spyware protection

not tat all, it also weak in real time protection too, but strong in scaning.
