**Danah** · 02-15-2010

What is the best Anti Virus software you have ever tried?

Kaspersky
AVG
Symmantec Norton
BitDefender
McAfee
Others....mention below

I wish no one will vote for Symmantec because it literally made me sick

and I am in progress to get a new one but need your reviews first

You can multiple chose if you want.

Wonderful Kaspersky all the way, but only because I get it free through work.

I used to use AVG as a freebie and it was great too, although seemed to slow everything down a little.

McAfree is fine for me. I have been using it for about an year and had no problems. The only con I could say about it, is when it does it updates, can slow the system down slightly. But good overall.

I have NOD32 also aka eset smart security.

it's not bad, but all anti viruses are weak when it comes to spyware.

does anyone know an anti virus with a good spyware scanner also?

I use computer without any antivirus...because my computer is quite impervious to viruses and worms...I use Ubuntu Linux Get it here...It's awesome. Also it is not good to support a monopolistic firm...

I just wrote a report that compared Ubuntu and Windows, Ubuntu came out the winner

but what puts me off is the fact so many softwares don't work on Ubuntu they only work on Windows.

Yes, I agree with you, but I'm an average computer user who uses computer to watch videos, play audio and surf the web...using this gives me peace of mind...no viruses, no freezing, no need to restart...my machine can run for like a month without having it restart

my friends ask me of this OS when I try to explain them everything goes over them

Totally Disagree if you are gonna part with money and not just download the software and crack it then i say BitDefender 2010 or ESET smart security or Avira Anti Virus which is free...........

Worst I'd have to say is McAfee

I see Eset sMART SECURITY is quite popular, the only thing that makes me abit dubious is the icon it has which is the All seeing eye which is something to do with mason's and shirk. I will find out which god the all seeing eye is related to

"Imagery of an all-seeing eye can be traced back to Egyptian mythology and the Eye of Horus".

Horus is the sun God, and the day chosen for his worship is "sun day"
