I think... NONE...

yeah.. true... juz downloaded it and it running good. but slow at startup and scanning... using the lowest setting to play games.

yes, under extol brand , locally it's called armour antivirus, actually is using norman engine, just brand change

here is my combo
bitdefender 8 + advance system optimizer v2 + ad-aware +zone alarm pro 5

i got some question to ask ,and i was plan to make a poll ,but since we cant open a new topic about AV ,then never mind.

if you wanna install a new AV ,will u uninstall the old one then on9 and update the new one ,

or

install and update the new AV ,then baru uninstall the old one?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i think most people will choose 1st option ,but will anyone do the 2sd option?

will it safer?i scare the two AV will fight each other ...

for a while nevermind lor for testing ...rite now i got norman / panda / nod32 installed haha.. latest testing nod32 enterprise version very fast , think i might opt for my company

yeah, my norton Corp editon cant do tat,but Anti-Vir can detect (use it in Office), i'm confused, so many ppl recommend so many anti-viruses in this thread, i d/l Kaspersky,seems like resource hog, loading time also lag, anti-vir seems ok , maybe will use that to replace my ageing symantec corp 2000

just tried bit defender 8 pro, DAMN it was HELL !!!, first all it was a resource hogger (44 MB), and then the trouble i had to go through just to remove it !!!!, startup of Windows was slow, so I tried to stop it from running, then tooook a looong time and then i couldnt even open My Computer !, tried removing it but tat didnt help, halfway thru it displayed the BSOD and quickly restarted my PC, further attempts of removing it again proved unsuccessful,so i tried a system resote bcoz maybe my reg corrupted, tat didnt work either, system restore failed to restore and now i deleted it manually, but I still can't delete 1 file 'bdshelxt.dll', it says access denied and tat a prog might be using it, it's the shell extension file for bit defender i think, ialready removed all it's components from starting up but can't seem 2 del tthis file, anyway it might be tat this prob is happening bcoz of either my Rig (office PC actually ) is 2 slow (i doubt it though coz Chip tested this s/w on a 566 mhz celeron and amd athlon 1.2 ghz, and rated this s/w as best performer and best value for money),my specs here is 1.6 Ghz,512 ddr-sdram....,so maybe registry got corrupted wat, anyway maybe i will install kapersky (worried abt those 'ADS' thingy and slow bootup time) or Anti-vir for my home PC

edit: found out thru Bit Defender site on how to remove the file and completely uninstall it

Try
kaspersky 2006, the ads function has been dropped.

Personally I am still using the kaspersky 3.5 version , same detection rate, update daily, low memory usage, what could ask for 366MHz celeron CPU ,

Last time i'm using AVG antivirus but not very function for detect trojan. Now using AVAST antivirus Free Edition so far it's okay can detect virus or trojan. Firewall just using Zone Alarm.

I was testing AVAST, and i noticed that the speed of downloading in limewire being reduced tremendously to 4-5KBps (compared to 40-50KBps before this)

I uninstalled it and install antivir back, everything back to normal

Anyone can clarify this with me?

avast is too strong,altough it is just a av,he did the job for fw too...

but sometime too strong will bring us the unconvinient too

Yup....that is the problem
I have the firewall, I have spyware scanners already

All I need is just a simple antivirus
I don't need another all-in-one antivirus that provides all the repeated features in my firewall and spyware detectors

I'm using antivir happily now

NOD32 all the way!!!!!!

I face the same problem too, when using AVAST PC slow down I uninstalled it and use back AVG. Problem is AVG kenot detect virus or Trojan better than AVAST.

even their update server got problem....

i changed to antivir again....lol

within 3 minutes after update it,block something from assualt my pc already

can i ask why with kaspersky turn on, it slooooow down my az loading. bitcomet was fine.

no enough memory? lol,wat a sux explaination...

maybe karsperky av hungry for power.. (processing speed) turning on HThreading will dramatically decreases the damn long loading time..
