as the topis which 1 will u guys use ?

avast the best...even better than avs kaspersky..

Add a poll

avg, kaspersky suck ....... avast much more better.

y kaspersky suck??
i think its better than avg lor..

glitch can slip away.

what do u mean by that??

y i start the avast program
it wont pop up the control panel ?

I tried Avast virus weak, AVG not bad & now using Kaspersky still the best for me.

for me..NOD32 is the best..n kapersky not bad too..AVAST takes more memory space n AVG sucks..

yup..
kaspersky the best ma...

for me i still use antivir, kinda worth for free AV.. avg kinda zzZZzz.. -.-
avast, never tried yet

y u guys complain about kaspersky?this anti virus is the best and detect strong virus too.avast is the free av and i dun think is gd too coz can't detect strong virus.

AVG, super fast update

ya when i launch avast it seem like slow down my pc speed.it when i first time launch it i wont pop up the control panel,i have to click second times till i saw the control panel pop up.

does any have the same problem like this ?

yeah, avast is quite slow compare to AVG

ive been using all of the 3 av(avast, avg n antivir) so from my exp i can say avast is better in detecting strong virus..
dun flame me yet, it just from my exp mayb some of you will hav diff exp..
and the worst av in detecting virus is avg there's no doubt about it( even proven true by latest CHIP mag )


i'm not sure ive notices any diff but avast is much slower when scanning compare to avg..

then how about Panda?

my protection is an AV and most important is common sense.
nuff said

I think avast has a lower memory usage and better interface. But I think AVG is better

I hope people will look at the title properly. It is between Avast and AVG. Why Kaspersky? Why Panda and the rest of the crowd?

AVG is proven to be less effective than Avast. If you intend to choose between the 4-As and Free AVs: AVG, AntiVir, AVS and Avast, The Best currently would go to AntiVir. CURRENTLY. NOT Definitely.

AVS is no longer popular due to the shifting of Scanning Engine (Kaspersky -> McAfee).

Avast is OK. AVG is rather inadequate.

So, Cheers to all and no offense.

P.S. Kaspersky and NOD32 are of the reliable AVs around. BitDefender is Fine, but quite high rate for False Positives. Panda should be OK though I never tried. McAfee, Norton are disappointing.

Both avast and avg sux, free antivirus always sux.

not all people can affort the expensive antivirus.i use avast before but seem cannot scan out my msn mesenger that it kena virus even always do update .avg also good can detect virus.both avg avast update very fast

I have no problem with Avast so far.

Lets cut it out right here. If people LIKE to go for Free AV, Then SO BE IT.

If people LOVE to Spend RM40++ on a BD License, SO BE IT.

Is there a need to start a flame war? Free AV DO NOT Always SUX. If you ever bother to read comparatives that MAKES SENSE, You will realize, even your most beloved PAID AV can be LESS FUNCTIONAL than a Free one.

It is people's preference. Is there a necessity to question people's choices?

No offense and Cheers!

my vote goes to avast...but if you go to some weird site to download strong virus then avast cant fix it.. tried once before

This thread sounds more like AV bashing thread.

This reminds me of the Networking Subforum...

Cheers!

Kaspersky is the best for me at this moment hehehe

avast is good for me !
no avg !

i feel using avg is very fast

vote for avast!!

some people complaining Avast memory hogging, some say Kaspersky memory hogging too, i don't know how you guys determine what is memory hogging, but FYI i'm on Kasperksy Internet Security well it work perfect even i online game with it, torrenting too... the best part using KIS/KAV is... usually i plug in the thumbdrive, the anti virus will detect incoming threat, meaning, it's real time monitoring system really work

kav is d best... but if pc got infected by virus 1st... d kav cant scan all d virus... haiz......

Haiz. If u want satisfied answer, better create a poll before. Anyway, for me i use Avast. I did use AVG, Kap, Panda, AntiVir and many before, but not quite satisifed. Avast actually not that good since u need to be in front PC while scanning(avast not auto-remove the virus, need confirmation from user). If my PC have 50GB Ram(hahaha), i prefer using Norton 360....

*why i said Norton 360? Many of the government office and bank server use it and it prove it's ability. U can imagine what will come if government and bank use lousy Antivirus at their server....

To my surprise, Both AVG and Avast are OK for light surfers. My dad has been using AVG for his laptop for emails and stock market with occasional chat using yahoo messenger and he is safe from virus infections for over 2 years....AVG did quarantine a few i.e 3 files to date.

if you're a university / college student, where unknown history of thumbdrives are always being plugged in, you better get Kaspersky.
else, go for AVG or AntiVir (freeware too).

between avg and avast .. i'll go for avg ... i've tried avast b4 .. u need to clean the infected virus avery single time ... it's won't listed out all the infected file before we can clean it ... so, avg for me ..

Agree with sang_karim. AVG is a better package although Avast is good at stopping the virus from getting into the system. Avira is also good.

i prefer avast... never use avg before cause my friends cant seem to stop cursing them for not able to detect some virus.... haha.... i used avira antivir before but its update are so slow and the interface doesn't look nice...

karim...avg now can balik kampung de....try bitdefender .got a few virus also cant detect .yesterday i still supporting him....but today bitdefender already

AVG kinda annoying when it pop out to scan every morning
cant set the schedule for scan if u r using it for free

well, it's free ... can't argue no more ... if u got sum $$ go for the better one ...

im using avast! now. Yesterday i had to reformat and reinstall my computer quite a lot of time because of trojan/virus. Initially use kaspersky but the problem persist. But for the last time i tried avast and voila! The virus is gone. Now im happy again. lol

for me, none of them are good... if u want better security, u should get karpersky or norton...

norton not thst good lar brudder.... only brand name is strong....... thats it.... karpesky also good but need money mar... people like free mar.... lol.... me too... lol.... student only where can afford?...lol

Norton is totally crapped for home user.
-Eat memory.
-Window Startup tooks longer.
-Often popup warning(annoying)

Zzzz.. Get Avast. At least they auto update twice everyday.(for me lar)

Or else, get a cheap AV like Kapersky.

It makes me wonder, seeing that majority here used either avast, avg or kapersky, why not just get all 3?

lol.... can or not????

free anti-virus useless..im using avast pro version..it is good..trojan and adware detect well..not effect computer running..
AVG i dont c anything good about it..
* norton is bad for me..i install in my laptop which is running vista..my desktop canot show after restart, there is a trojan..(but my friend can use it )

i'll go for avg!!really no doubt bout this software..

currently using kaspersky...detection and speed of scanning fast and nice...1st choice wil go on it if ur likely to fight with virus and diagnostic...for lighter surfer can try use avast......avast may possible to win kaspersky.XD

Well.. Alright! No flaming! Just 2 cent, between AVG and Avast my vote will go for Avast as i tried before not bad. For personal choice, i will go for ZoneAlarm. As im using now. Not bad..

Avast homepage link? ..

www.avast.com click on the home edition which is free

btw.. AVG didn't even get into the TOP 10 antivirus detection list.. avast got 4th in place (98% rate in detection) after kaspersky in 1st and 2nd place (i think got two version of kaspersky if i dont remember wrong) and AOL antivirus in 3rd (this AV is base on kaspersky that's why it got in 3rd ^^)..

im not bashing AVG, i used it once, it is very memory efficient (low memory usage), fast scanning (avast is very slow in scanning).. but still AVG is very highly rated by download.com.. I dont know the reason, but Avast is still the best because it offer more solid protection than AVG..

Avast is not just an antivirus, it has many layer of protection including email, p2p, im and a light-weight firewall, and it's forum support on bug and viruses is very friendly and they really will heard what suggestion that we listed and they try their best to fix or add new feature in the new version =)

Things i dont like about avast is sometimes it failed to scan compressed file format (some like rar / bak).. slow scanning very slow..

Things i like it auto virus-def update everyday.. new version avast will be downloaded automatically too with no hassle to download the whole new version from their website.. it on-access scan capabilities (if you're scanning things with other malware / spyware scanner, avast will scan it as well automatically becoz the avast scanner will scan whatever file that is being accessed by other scanner, got one virus off a spyware scanner b4 )

and the thing i like most is.. it's FREE LOL... (just some troubling registering to get free license key)

i will choose avast over avg, at least it can detect virus tat avg is just canot do it properly.

no no for AVG ... i wonder why my campus is using it ....

using avast and kaspersky and both are very gd in detection virus and so on

avast free edition is the best among all.... although it is free , it beat AVG easily ...

tried AVG and Avast . personally like AVG for its low memory usage , but prefer avast over it cause its much better at detecting threats

but now , behind a router , with windows firewall . and everything is hunky dory even without an anti virus program xD

This post has been edited by zx7177: Dec 2 2007, 12:02 AM

but firewall cant stop those micro, virus from thumbdrive ler.

well , thats where you have to be careful by not inserting unknown thumbdrives into your computer

i've been running 2 computers without any anti virus at all for like more than a year . everything still peachy

errr, even if you insert your own thumbdrive, there is no guarantee that your thumbdrive is free from virus. Unless you're using your thumbdrive within your 2 computers only or at other computers which got AV installed

avast - Recommended Award (PC.Com magazine)

any other competitive similliar AV product in tat comparison review?

avira - ranking 1 in list free av (CHIP magazine)

avast - ranking 2 in list free av (CHIP magazine)

avg - ranking 3 in list free av (CHIP magazine)

hmm, I'm using Avira but not sure if its better than Avast/AVG..

Avira popup (after updates) is damn annoying though.

Avast Pro Edition + Outpost Firewall Pro + SpySweeper

avira FTW

i prefer avast than AVG.

AVIRA with high detection rate !! avg or avast high false positive


TAK PERCAYA ??

here

tis review from where? y no mention ver of kaspersky?

xda version .. i think what version also the same right ? bcoz its comes with the same virus definition updates ma.. version membezakan interface / more or different function only .. i rasa la ..

contoh KIS 7 and KIS 8

KIS 7 no keyboard on screen ( virtual keyboard ) but KIS 8 have

oh btw,,im using avg free 8.5

Try avira now.. the bestest Av ever..

the product u can found in lowyat starting now..

AVAST, been using for 5 years. the best

How about Safe Run? I saw some where have safe run perform.. How was it?

I heard it can run the Kaspersky program applications in a secure, and if the application is in fact the virus that effect will be lost after the restart.

Does it need virus definition? From my opinion it doesn't.

should compare avast and avira from the title above.

Anyone using Avast VPN function? What's it for??
