I used it previously.. not bad.. better than kaspersky in term of speed of scanning and less resouces taken.

But I still prefer NOD32

anyone using Avast AV ???
http://www.avast.com/
im using now so far so good.....

i personal preference still AVG it is FREE too !!

http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php

IMO Kaspersky quite good.. no problem so far... detect trojan and virus that norton cannot detect..

is kaspersky freeware?? they have free trialware right??

kaspersky has no free version but free trial version. it will refuse to works after certain period of time.

does AVG need to update frequently?
i mean, if me not update in one week, will it disable the protection?
cuz my home dont hav internet connection.
Mostly, i'm downloadin software at cyber cafe or fren's home.

browse web carefully, and always monitor your PC(I use winpatrol), set up uber firewall, any data attemp to come into must have my permition, downdload software from official webpage instead of mirror, or fully trustable webpage like cnet, zdnet etc.

If you feel you got hacked, or something strange to your PC cut the wire off

edit: add more info

How to effectively blockout ads, viruses, trojans etc?

1. Have a firewall in place
2. Patch your OS, especially Win2k and XP to the latest security patches
3. Install an anti-virus software and update regularly
4. Don't browse pornograhpic or websites that can potentially install spywares/adwares on your PC
5. Becareful when opening un-identified emails

Those are just basic preventions. As for which anti virus software is the best, there's no definite answer to it. Usually how user PC infected by virus? I will blame it on the users. Users just don't have the knowledge to protect themselves. Once infected by viruses, they blame it somewhere else.

Just to let you know, as a professional user, my PC was never infected by any viruses or spywares for around a year. Believe it or not. User awareness! Prevent is better than cure. Not all anti virus software is 100% effective...

Never ever open it i would say.......

Me too

i manual update. Me download some ".bin" update file. Where me need to place this file?

1) watching porno is fine but stick with those "known" sites so u'll stay out of trouble
2) use teh firefox
3) stick with good anti-spyware/adware/virus softwares..
4) remember to update ur windows

5) ditch windows xp and go Linux......forget about getting viruses and go watch porn as much as u want..(gogogogo)

I tried avast v4.5..can detect some trojans while avg can't..

yup.....the virus defination always up to date

The only AVG's advantage is its free. None other than that.

actually the greatest AV is call "Rising Antivirus" but only available in china...some ONLY lincensed user can update...

come to us no choice but to use Kaspersky or nod32

Kaspersky is good but have side effect while playing pc game...
NOD32 no problem at all but detection not strong enough...

Doesn't need any software of above if you careful enuff, juz monitor your pc every min is more than enuff.
You will kena 'virus' from microsoft if you using warez.
Some Virus are OS independent they writen in pure iso C/C++ u still need to becarefull too.

WOW!! A GENIUS on lowyat!! brilliant i say, brilliant i say
could you pass me an executable of this virus written in pure C/C++ that infects ?BOTH windows AND 'nux boxes??

a destructive one that is
not a stupid one that just displays messages on certain dates like the one that sounds like smiley

i think nod32 is the best.. NOD32 Earns Its Record Setting 29th Virus Bulletin 100% Award. It's scanning speed is superb fast and accurate. and it dun eat many resources

ya NOD32 very good
but if u using 'p' is hard 2 update cus the cd-key problem

i still stick with my kaspersky 5
