What browser are you using?
No other browser than Internet Explorer supports ActiveX

And if you're already using IE, make sure that it is not disabled

Pretty agree that AVG is not as effecient as it supposed to be
But I don't really like Avast coz sometimes it affects my P2P activities

Will stick with antivir for time being

AVG Free 7.1[361] Released
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=210973

30MB? That's a lot...
My Antivir only uses around 10, and I feel quite secure using it too, despite the download size of each update is unreasonably big

Free Download Manager installation file is detected by my Antivir...

Anyone else is using free download manager? mind doing me a favour to scan it with your antivirus?


Antivir has been effective in detecting virus/trojan, but I don't believe that Free Download Manager contains virus...

Thanks for your input
Anybody else using antivirus other than Antivir and Nod32 can test for me?

It can be downloaded here
http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/download.htm

Filename FDMINST.exe, filesize 1422KB

Thanks again...
It appears that Antivir is a bit too sensitive ;

McAfee is light?
I used it once and to me it's pretty bloated...

From my experience, for free AV, AVG protection is worse than Antivir and Avast.

@Pdot, For antivir, what do you mean by "tat program did even recognize by window protection"? Sometimes the server cannot be connected, most of the time it's okay for me

AVG free failed to detect virus in several occasions where antivir could
And when I did a scan on a virus archive antivur detection rate is higher as well...

Please stop giving "I am using <antivirus name>, so far so good" comments to increase post counts... State why you think the antivirus you're using now is good.

.
I think ad-aware should be more effective in scanning spyware than NOD32 does...

Unless you're using Ad-aware PRO that has ad-watch, otherwise it doesn't consume any memory if you're not scanning the spyware.

Actually a lot of Antivirus also support 64-bit XP already
For example, AVG, Avast, Norton and so on...

Check out their website for more information

Wait, you're looking for Antivirus that is compatible with Windows XP 64 or Antivirus that is designed for WinXP 64 architecture?

Both of them do have differences.

Yes, opera compatibility isn't that good....Use firefox instead (being fanboyish )

Is anyone using the Antivir Personal Edition 7 Beta? Damn it looks much better than version 6!!!!!

It's not a very hard decision to choose an Antivirus, everyone has their own opinion and why bother what others said? try it out yourself

Start with freeware first, if you are a home user and use the Internet with some common sense, it should be sufficient.

I've been using Antivir for quite some times (now using the beta 7) and can't really remember when was the lastime my PC infected by virus. It's not easy to get infected by virus unless you always get files from untrusted source or visit malicious sites.

Antivirus usually just help detect viruses and clean it.
It's unusual to find another antivirus that provides parental control unless it's full package like NIS 2006.

Why not find another parental control software like Net Nanny to do it?
